Olsen, Balme, Nicks. Adelaide have the right people in place.

Just need some decent players now!

With the SA talent coming through the draft this year the Crows can start assembling something decent if they play their cards right. Get some decent picks for Crouch and whoever else has value and load up at the draft

[tigerpie]

Is Balme going to be part of this draft?
When does he start?

[mighty_tiger_79]

Balme is a very good appointment.
That's a massive win for Crows

Balme staying at Richmond. Media got it wrong again.

At least some are owning it. Makes you wonder if he changed his mind or Richmond held him to some sort of contract for so many to go with it.

Surely someone at the Crows has leaked that they had him

[mighty_tiger_79]

That's a complete disaster.....

I saw SEN go with it first? Did anyone beat them out???

This is obviously the same as how the crows almost had Clarkson and Dusty.

It's all good having soft favourable media sources likely Rowey and 5aa, but when they go with small leaks and things like this is ends up looking like egg on face.

It wasnt just 5AA. SEN went hard with it, as did other media including ch7's AFL page.

Loose Lips sink ships

Further proof that not everything is sorted off the field at West lakes with respect to replicating a High Performance culture.

This stuff should not get out, especially when no deals has been confirmed.

The same argument can also be made for Collingwood and Craig McRae with that leaking out. The only difference is that it appears that there is a deal in place that has been signed off.

[Brodlach]

Maybe there was no deal and a media person made it up and then everyone just tacked on like usual

wasnt a similar story leaked last season or the season before with Balme coming to Adelaide, seem to remember something the same

[mots02]

Interesting that lots of media outlets piled on and went with it, despite there being no comment from either Balme or the Crows.

You'd think one of them might have gone back to either of these 2 sources to confirm it first!?

I like how long it took for it to be quashed. Almost 2 days. Surely someone could have asked the Crows or Balme early Saturday if it was true.

[Dutchy]

Any info about the Crows seems to get out of West Lakes very easily.

Alternatively if it was all BS and it was starting to get out of hand on SM and through other media sources, why weren't the Crows on the front foot quashing it straight away with a:

"Despite media speculation the Adelaide Football Club have made no senior appointments to it Football Department.

We will make no further comment on this matter."
