Graham Cornes has slammed as a \u201ccapitulation\u201d Adelaide\u2019s deal for Mitch McGovern<\/a>, which saw the club receive pick 13 and Shane McAdam from Carlton for the wantaway star.<\/h3>\n

\u201cSo, another contracted player has walked out on Adelaide and gone to the club of his choice,\u201d Cornesy writes in The Advertiser.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt all seemed so easy. So much for making Carlton pay over the odds for Mitch McGovern, as the Blues made the Crows pay for Bryce Gibbs. So much for playing hardball.<\/p>\n

\u201cAdelaide essentially get pick 13 in this year\u2019s draft and a 23 year old mature-age rookie in Shane McAdam.<\/p>\n

\u201cDid they even ask for Carlton\u2019s first pick in the draft?<\/p>\n

\u201cDid they demand Carlton find a top ten pick before they would even look at the deal? Did they call Carlton\u2019s bluff and stall till the last minute? Guess not.<\/p>\n

\u201cYet the slight consensus of informed opinion seems to be that the Crows emerged with the better deal. All that Victorian hype which downplayed McGovern\u2019s talent, durability and potential seems to have worked.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n
