"ADELAIDE has signed much-improved wingman Paul Seedsman to a three-year contract.
The deal keeps him committed to the club until the end of 2021.
Seedsman, 26, had been sought after as a line-breaking runner, and is ranked No.6 in the competition for metres gained per game this season.
He arrived from Collingwood at the end of 2015 as part of a mega-trade that also involved Melbourne and Port Adelaide.
"My priority was always to stay in Adelaide and it's great to get the deal done," Seedsman told afc.com.au.
"I love it here and the footy club has been fantastic since I arrived, so it's good to be able to repay their confidence in me.
"Even though it's been a frustrating year, the culture here couldn't be better.
"The players and coaches are all committed to getting better and we'll be back up there next year."
Crows list manager Justin Reid expressed his delight at keeping the former Magpie at West Lakes.
"Paul has shown this year what he's capable of on-field, and we're thrilled to have him sign with the club for another three years," Reid said.
"Our entire senior leadership group have signed extensions in the past 12 months or so, as have a number of key players, so to add Paul to that list shows great unity within the playing group."
I think a number of these players are using us or our supposed interest in levering better deals at their own clubs.

Didn't SCOOP say we were in the box seat?

How about we do a deal.
You don't mention any half-decent players, and then the club might have a chance of actually landing someone

Re: Paul Seedsman
We are the most irrelevant club in the AFL right now.
No player of quality wants to come to us. Any faux-interest is driven by Player managers using us to drive up the value of their clients
The only players interested in us are delistings and fringe players trying to get a regular game.
We need to fix the coaching, draft well and hope we can scrape into finals in the near future- and then things will change.

Re: Paul Seedsman
Looks like we are missing out on Seeders as he has just committed to Adelaide after he was very gettable and we were interested just a day ago.
It’s disappointing we can’t land any of these targets when we have been in the box seat for so many only to miss at the last minute.
I hope we keep trying and go hard as hell for Sheilers as he is what we need.

It's not as though we are missing out on players to a rival club. They are staying where they are for more money than they were currently on.
We are a club, like the Roos, with lots of money to spend. We are going to be linked to almost every player that is available.

Re: Paul Seedsman
It is entirely possible that he Crows have just conceded that they will be losing McGovern and have immediately moved to finalise any other open contract situations! These things are like dominoes and if (as you would expect) McGovern was their number one priority, then his contract would have conceivably been holding up others being completed.
The whisper within the past 48 hours is McGovern to Carlton for a swap of first round picks (or whatever the detail is), which potentially (if true) immediately leads to a bunch of others dominoes falling.

Re: Paul Seedsman
We are definitely not a destination club in our current state and my fear is that even if we do land a big fish, they'd be coming over for all of the wrong reasons - it would be money driven. It would be someone that wouldn't have aspirations of playing finals and would be content to play under Richo......
Most footballers want to taste the ultimate success and for that reason it's going to be difficult to attract a top liner unless of course their prime motivation is money - we're stuck in a vicious cycle at the moment.
