DONE DEAL: Adelaide, Melbourne agree terms for wantaway forward’s departure

EXECUTIVE CASE:
Adelaide and Melbourne agree terms on striker’s departure – AFL Trade News
A deal has finally been reached for the top flight.
Melbourne have officially acquired Adelaide striker Shane McAdam out of contract in a deal with the Crows.

McAdam made his intention to move clear before the start of this year’s trade period; officially requested a move from Adelaide to the Devils this season.
On Tuesday, Melbourne made a trade offer to Adelaide for the runaway Crows; one of their two future second-round draft picks.
The future second rounder will be one of two the Devils are currently in possession of following the transfer of ruckman Brodie Grundy to the Sydney Swans.
The two sides reached an agreement Tuesday morning.

While the Dees work to facilitate McAdam’s arrival, the Crows have been lured by the prospect of luring South Australian Devil Harrison Petty to West Lakes this season, potentially in a deal that brings McAdam to Melbourne.

However, this did not happen as the Dees remained adamant in their desire to retain Petty, especially as he is currently under contract in Melbourne.
In other Devils player movement news, in addition to Grundy’s departure, Melbourne also parted ways with disgraced midfielder James Harmes to the Western Bulldogs in exchange for a future third round spot last week. The club also lost James Jordan to Sydney via free agency.
Melbourne signed Brisbane great Tom Fullarton last Friday in exchange for Pick 47.
This year’s trading period is scheduled to close on Wednesday, October 18 at 7:30pm (AEDT).
