I wonder if it will just keep getting longer and longer, albeit clubs will always wait until the last minute to play 'chicken' with other clubs.

I agree with Jim i reckon it’s scripted - the bigger trades are sorted then left to sit there until the very last minute for the “shock” value.
Trade “week” is a waste of time, most these clubs already know what they want/need and have to give up before it even starts.
Maybe they should just allow trades the entire off season.

In 5 years time we will be able to accurately judge who did well out of this trade period, impossible to gauge the success now.

Thing is, Rankine and Dawson asked to be traded to Adelaide so while it's romantic to think North could have got all of them they simply wouldn't have. Rachele at 6 last year may have been the only one...may have.

Think it's less about North and more about Adel - they were willing to use the 3x 1sts.. it didn't happen, and they're now out in a better position 12 months later?

I reckon they are, If they just had JHF it would be all well and good, but Rochelle, Dawson and now Rankine is massive.The Bedge wrote:Booney wrote:cracka wrote:Crows offered 3 first round picks to North last year for the number 1 pick which they would have used for JHF.

They have JUH, Naughton, Bruce and also Darcy up forward.
Was there a need for Lobb?

Picked up Mitchell who could be the absolute key to them taking the next step. Ball winner who can give it to their quicker outside midfielders.
Dunkley will be good at brissy but without looking at it closely they seem to have a lot of those midfield/forward types.
JHF could be the best of the players picked up but not sure that's in 2023.
Jury still out on Rankine for mine and the Crows already have a decent forward line. He will be a nice touch but not sure he changes their fortunes until they get some grunt in the midfield. As others have mentioned what Port & Crows got was what each other needed.

Get off Boon's horne!!!
Dunkley is clearly the best pick up by the length of Main North Road.
Mitchell will be serviceable @ the Pies but won't finish in the top 5 of the Copeland Trophy.
Rankine will show glimpses of brilliance, he'll have his own pocket at AO within a couple of years, if the Crows can have a successful rebuild he will be an outright champion of the game.
