What if Carey trade falls through ?

Can Adelaide just tell North to get stuffed, and have Carey nominate for the pre-season draft where they can get him for free, or is it more complicated than that??

Then Adelaide have a problem in that they have a chance of losing out on Carey that way.

Carey will lose out because he can't dictate which club he has to go for in the pre-season draft if he puts his name in the hate. Basically he'd be compromising the draft & should be disqualified.

You can bend the rules, but you can't bend them all the way.

True. But why would a club want to draft him, knowing that he wants to go to the Crows?

Oh well, it doesn't really concern me or my club, so they can do whatever the hell they want! :D

That's not really the point though, the point is that Adelaide runs that risk- as miniscule as it may or may not be- that's reality.

Your kidding right? Every other club who gets a pick before Adelaide thats who. In fact Carlton would take him straight away. Carey as a free pick up?! Better than sex. Hes got what 2 years left. Whats he going to do - stand out of footy for another year if drafted by another club.

No if he goes into the draft he is gone. Anyway wont happen. Adelaide are super desperate for him. Nth know it. Thats why they are playing hard ball. A deal will be done and Adelaide will cough up. They think they are buying a flag.
 
carey

it's not that simple.the pre-season draft. the crows could get him...by waiting their turn but...he'd have to fall a long way for the crows to catch him.

If Richmond had first pick they'd select someone they could afford...that's not Carey.

Depends, maybe carlton have room, maybe saints have room. I'm sure they'd take him for nothing. Depends if someone younger is around....i'd take des over wayne, that's for sure.

Interesting to see whether Adelaide and Richmond would still deal independently on Johnson if the Carey thing didn't work. I'm sure it will though.

It better work out. I want sufficient compensation for him, and draft picks and perhaps some younguns will do nicely.

You will get less than you want.

We will give you more than I'd like.

Isn't that how these things always work?

Well a recent bigfooty thread says the Carey deal is done. Well are you pleased at how it went mate in terms of who you got and had to give up?

Hmmm...

I think you got less than you wanted.

We gave away more than I would have liked.

:cool:

In all seriousness, Adelaide gave up what it needed to buy the chance at a flag. If Carey plays good footy again, we have a fair chance at a flag. A flag would more than justify the means.

All the best with your draft picks. I hope your lot does well with them and the future is bright. You club went through a lot this year, more than mosts worst nightmare. All the best.

Compensation??????? does that mean the kangas would have welcomed him back next year????

I don't think so.

An interesting sideline:-
IF the Crows had traded Johnson to Carlton for pick 1 instead of Richmond for pick 4, then wouldn't they have had North by the balls in terms of negotiating a deal for Carey?

It is only a matter of time before this situation arises.

By compensation, i meant that in my mind since Carey was never gonna come back to North, i was not prepared to lose him for bugger all. I wouldn't want him back in that i am excited at the change happening at North, not because of wot he did.

Yes IF that happened they would have had us by the balls, but luckily not! I would have been sh*tting meself then. I spose we could have given the Crows Carey, who COULD then ontrade their #1 pick to us ;). Here's me dreaming...

Oh and love ya avatar! :)
