It could be deemed embarrassing to think that Amartey has shown anything to suggest he’s anywhere near the level of Rory Lobb. He’s taken us apart a few times. A 206cm marking machine.
Don’t mention injuries. The Amartey party also deals with injuries.
We’d need to give draft pick as well as Amartey to get him.
I think a committee of Faunac8, The Bloods, MCS, Ludwig and I’mUnimformed can debate the question of whether my Lobb for Amartey suggestion is embarrassing?Comment

My two cents...
Lobb: Gave every impression that he was going to be a star but hasn't progressed. 29 at the start of next season, unlikely to improve much and has a very expensive contract (allegedly). Would avoid.
Sicily: At his best is a super player. Would improve our team immensely. Interested.Comment

While some posters say that they would love to see Adelaide miss out on JD by Norf picking him up in the PSD, I would say that this is a terrible outcome for us as it means we lost one of our best young players for nothing. Once he is in the PSD we lose big-time regardless of where he ends up going. We will also rightfully be heavily criticised for losing our shirt in the poker game.
Another poster asked about why we are not going to receive a similar deal for JD as Freo did for Cera. The answer really comes down to differences in relative bargaining position. Carlton are a couple of places further down the draft order than Adelaide. While this does not sound like much, it means the threat of going to the PSD is less than is the case for JD. If JD had nominated Port, we would have been looking at something closer in substance to the Cera deal - our bad luck.Comment

Would take the opinion/optimism of Mitchell, who is ringing clubs to offload his player, with a grain of saltComment

Apologies, you are right, I meant he did it last year (and more than a year ago). Still struggling to accept its 2021! He should be right to go by round 1 next year you'd think. And I'm sure our medical staff would check him out. The increased risk of future ACLs is a bit worry though.Comment

I did until I clicked on the 3 line menu in the top left of the page, and turned off the dark mode. I have no idea why they've decided to make 'almost unreadable' the default mode??Comment
