But remember, we're gonna get our man - whoever that is - at 14 otherwise we wouldn't have traded 10, SURELY!

You'd think so - but I was sure that Durdin would be your man! ???

Felt the same mate then when we swapped for #14 i had no idea who we were after. Still don't.  :-\

My money is a smokey. The words coming from AFC were that it was somebody who nobody else is eyeing off, so I doubt it's Durdin given his interest.

And I seriously think it could be Nakia Cockatoo. Hasn't played much due to injury but he put in an incredible Combine showing, and got BOG on the pre-GF game between the Australia U17s (Level 1 Academy) and the "Allies" (NSW, QLD, NT, TAS combined U18 team). If he can string together some consistency and get his body right, some are saying he could be an A-Grader... been touted as an Aboriginal version of Patrick Dangerfield

He'd be a huge gamble if the likes of Goddard, Durdin are still there, but could well pay off big time. Offers the outside run that we need... If we picked him up with #14 I can see us using #35 or #43 on Keenan Ramsey, Oscar McDonald or another KPD.

So perennially overrated?

 cant see Durdin slipping past pick 10...

As soon as I saw the trade to get pick 14. I knew they must of changed their mind on Durdin. Can't see him getting to pick 14.
And from that I put a big smokey pick on Cockatoo, or maybe even Langford. Both not really expected to be picked up at that point, and Adelaide are 100% certain their man will still be draft-able.

I think he'd just be a less overrated version of Cyril Rioli

Pkbaldy

Can anyone be more overrated than Cyril?

Toga

Yeah, there's plenty of smokey mids that you could go with but I always thought you'd be better off going after a tall defender in this KPP rich draft, considering the Adelaide defence is just so reliant on Talia now!

Will be interesting :)

Mailman the 2nd

Adelaide was free to pick him too

Lever is like a Lever. Stick like.

tbagrocks

Might not have played this year due to a knee but was an underage Metro Captain last year, crows have the best defender in the draft

Thing about Durdin is he could've been our swingman, Westhoff, the tall utility we needed. Instead we have a partner perfect for Talia ;D

@ the Crows supporters

when Winnie the Pooh said "operation failed", he was not referring to the Adelaide Crows (as they could have picked Durdin if they really wanted to). Winnie is referring to the objective of this thread...
