A spike in values as a result of the newly agreed players\u2019 pay deal could have big ramifications for both Adelaide teams.<\/h3>\n

Lions footy GM David Noble has told FIVEAA that players out of contract in 2017 have a massive advantage:<\/p>\n

\u201cMy concern at the moment in the market is that the volume of increase that the CBA is going to obtain within one year artificially inflates the market,\u201d Noble said on Thursday.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think that becomes a problem for clubs to manage the values. If you happen to be out of contract this year, I think you have a much better advantage at securing a more lucrative contract than you do in three years time, and I think that\u2019s unfair.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

If he\u2019s right, Port Adelaide is potentially in a bind with 17 players coming out of contract this year. \u201cNot happy days — losey, losey,\u201d Rowey said.<\/p>\n

But the Crows aren\u2019t immune either. \u201cAdelaide have got a few big ones too. We\u2019ll see how that plays out,\u201d Bicks said.<\/p>\n
