“We put forward a significant offer to Adam and we are disappointed in his decision to pursue a playing future elsewhere”

“Although we wish Adam all the best, he is not a free agent and therefore a suitable trade will need to be forthcoming from Carlton. Clearly, there is an expectation of compelling compensation for a player of Adam’s calibre.” Bombers GM of List & Recruiting Adrian Dodoro.

“Adam has officially requested a trade and we will now work with the Essendon Football Club and Adam’s management to finalise the deal.” Blues Head of Football Brad Lloyd.

“When I get back next week I’ll sit down with respect to the footy club & get their thoughts on it & sit down with my management.”
