AFL 2025 Silly Season

Not so. Melbourne's asking price far too much.

Glad they are being sensible then

Depends what you define as too much.
Can Petracca get you over that next hurdle or do you waste another year with a vastly inferior midfield to the others competing for a flag?
Crows obviously believe they can boost the midfield in other ways such as natural improvement of youth

Interesting from Cal Twomey…

Christian Petracca wants to be traded to Gold Coast.

Adelaide walked away from the prospect of a trade for the superstar Demon.


Wonder why they walked away?

Failed medical

You would know Doc

Hopefully have something else in mind

Theo Drop on X :

Christian Petracca asked the Crows for an extra year on top of his current 4-year contract, at increased money across the entire deal, which forced the club to reconsider its trade position.

He would have been 35 on expiry and one of Adelaide's highest paid players.

If true, correct decision

He's really taking that "once in a generation" comment to heart...

Melbourne giving Carlton some competition for next years spoon.

A smart club would come sniffing for Gawn

Actually don't mind what Melbourne are doing. May as well do it now, wait another 12 months and you are in trouble needing 2-3 years worth of picks to re-build around Tassie. Think this is the last year you would be able to 'bottom out' to get 2-3 years worth

Agreed, don't do a rebuild half-assed like Carlton are doing.

Saints have told Jack Steele he is welcome to find a new club for 2026

Coz they can't afford him anymore

Silvani signed with the Saints.

Carlton will receive pick 19 as compo.

Could end up down the highway

Do the Crows put effort into Oliver now? Although it appears the Giants are front runners

Adelaide should go hard for Merrett, watching the clips from last night's B&F was like watching a hostage situation...

I only heard parts of Brad Scott speech... he clearly forgot 2 team mates came out publicly and said he should go
