It seems that Liz was right about Scully going cheaply due to injury concerns.
Now that the interest has wained from the pies after picking up Langdon - I wonder if jake kelly is on our radar ?
Would pick 26 suffice ?
Would he be keen ?
Almost indentical in height weight and hardness as a defender
Arguably at 84% Kelly’s disposals are more efficient
Plus he can now play left wing if need be
53 games 24yrs of age come jan 2019
Would adelaid match at $475k pa 3 or 4 year contract?
Left footed which is key for our transitions with our young Ling and Stoddart leftie HBFs emerging

Adelaide have Draft picks (as of Sunday October 14): 8, 13, 16, 21, 73, 83
Swans gave their Pick 13 to Adelaide
But we maybe able to assist with a pick 26 ? To help them get after SA draft talent and trade picks up ?
The Crows are still likely to get a deal done for Richmond small forward Tyson Stengle. With three picks inside the top 20, they could aim to trade up the draft in order (via a club such as St Kilda) to get their hands-on snaring top five South Australian draft prospects, such as Jack Lukosius, Izak Rankine and Connor Rozee. There has been talk about Jake Kelly being traded to Collingwood, but that deal may be more unlikely with Tom Langdon set to remain a Magpie.

For me North were extremely competitive via their midfield
Lots of close losses and finished just behind us at 9th on the ladder
Any games I watched I enjoyed watching Norths midfield move the ball fast and forward
I’m fairly amazed by their recruitment and for me it concerns me greatly that we still have not found the defender recruit to free up jones and mills into the midfield
A team like north with those 4 midfield recruits will be very deep and definitely pushing up the ladder

I'm sure we'd be putting a positive spin on all of them but I'm not as convinced. Polec's handy. Clearly getting overs but he should be pretty useful. Pittard just kicks it to the opposition and panics under any sort of heat. If they're able to get Hall and/or Tyson to produce their best on a consistent basis they'll be good additions. But they weren't able to do that at their previous clubs so the jury is out on both.

Probably an easy way is too look at match ups
My concern is we are falling behind a team that came 9th last season and we do need to free up jones and mills ASAP into our midfield via another serious defender join us
Ie Swans vs north midfield rotation
Given that north almost beat us with a midfield that didn’t have the new 4 midfield recruits and only lost one fringe midfielder
North have definitely have improved significantly and I think we will see them attack even stronger then this year via their mids........so how do we get ahead now of a building team like north ?

Totally agree. Great recruiting again and we will continue to see this from North as I have said in earlier posts, the Scott brothers teams have seemed to really take to the trade periods and free agency! Unfortunately we seem a lot more conservative and far less aggressive than than them and appear to settle for far less...
