Adelaide’s Trade Situation for the Upcoming Season

The Adelaide Crows are poised to be among the most active teams during this year’s trade period. Notably, Alex Neal-Bullen from Melbourne has expressed a desire to join the Crows for personal reasons, and all indications suggest that a trade between the two clubs is likely to happen smoothly for the diligent half-forward. In addition, the Crows appear well-positioned to acquire Isaac Cumming, a dynamic defender from the Giants, who has recently battled various hamstring injuries.

Another intriguing prospect is Jack Lukosius from the Gold Coast Suns, who may find his way to Adelaide. The Suns have left the door open for Lukosius to explore his options, but he is reportedly contemplating a pay cut to stay with Gold Coast, according to Jon Ralph from the Herald Sun. The Crows have kept a close eye on the South Australian since his draft by the Suns, making a potential move for him during this trade period highly plausible.

The Crows are also interested in the exciting Malcolm Rosas Jnr, who has been encouraged to consider his options as the Suns aim to free up some salary cap space. Additionally, the future of tall forward Elliott Himmelberg is worth monitoring. Currently without a contract for 2025 after his unsuccessful bid to join his brother Harry at the Giants last off-season, Himmelberg has attracted interest from the Suns as well, as reported by Channel 9’s Tom Morris.

Meanwhile, key players Mark Keane, Sam Berry, and veteran standout Taylor Walker have recently re-signed with the Crows, despite attracting interest from rival teams. This solidifies the club’s commitment to maintaining a strong core as they navigate the upcoming trade period.
