GWS have had a great five years...which is a worry as they passed over Curtin

We all know the players we have drafted in the last seven years; this team is an alternative. It isn't anywhere near the best team we could have selected from picks after ours, it's just a team from SA born or SA based players drafted by other clubs. It doesn't include Rozee because we didn't...

I agree. It is likely this is peak Ned. Most of us have already passed judgment on his ability and possible contribution to the team so even more reason not to expect him to be something he's not. Endless criticism doesn't improve anyone either and will likely see them regress.

Happens at every sporting club I follow. No player giving everything they have deserves inane criticism. Keays, Murphy and McHenry are members of the current 'those we love to hate' club but they don't pick themselves and, despite obvious flaws in their games, give all they have each time they...

You named Taylor twice but otherwise just about spot on, although I think Burgess will surprise many and will get an early opportunity.

Amazing how Crows fans have been crying out for an additional big bodied midfielder and we had Keays (at 186cm and 89kg) hiding at half forward the last 18 months!?

And Scrimshaw and Morrison who have had the equal in careers as Keays and Milera. Dawson is a gun (Sydney knew) and Hinge is a promising player only just finding his feet. Hawthorn and North have a stronger group than Adelaide aged 25-27

We actually have fewer players in the 25-27 range than Hawthorn or North Melbourne. Our edge in performance last year came from our veterans performing at a high level. There can be no guarantee Tex has another year like last and he was a massive part of us doing as well as we did. Players...

Parnell in ruck is going to be a challenge. Reckon Keane and McHenry find spots

My Top-20 list comprises players other teams would pay a lot of salary cap and or draft picks to secure, so, champion players at the peak of their powers, players who could reach those heights but no champion players such as Dangerfield, Pendlebury, Fyfe and Martin nearing the end of their...

I would get rid of the touched off the boot rule. There's way too much doubt in the decision that stops the game and often deflates a great moment.

There's a lot of footage they didn't show. Fans are fascinated by these insights but need to know they are heavily edited. It's not a documentary

And how many flags with 8 - Bartel, 13 - Dal Santo, 17 - J Kelly, 24 - S Johnson from that draft. No team wins flags with one player and the chance of Reid being at the level of Hodge, Judd, Oliver over his AFL career, even injury free, remains unlikely.

Melbourne didn't want him either - or not over Windsor

Harley Reid is going to have to be Hodge, Judd or an Oliver level superstar to justify West Coast hanging on to him. Not too difficult to see a trade scenario where they finished with Curtin, Tholstrup, Hardeman and Collard tonight with capital to still trade in Mitch Edwards, and or Koen...

That 2020 draft is looking rancid overall and although Cook seemed a bit of a punt given his lack of football there are not many taken behind him - other than Gulden who was an academy pick - who we'd swap for even today. After three years this really is the last chance saloon but I'm backing...

Don't think Cook was a first rounder at 25 - but you could count Dawson as that's what we paid for him. We've lost three other first rounders for next season with Hately, Doedee and McAsey

10 and F1 if you're coming to us - that's around Pick 2 if we finish 9th. No one thinks you'll be outside the bottom two but it's not impossible you finish 15th and we finish 13th and then you get a steal

Adelaide Crows players who have won a Premiership in the last 25 years: Wayne Carey - 1999 Scott Welsh - 1999 Sean Wellman - 2000 Tyson Stenglein - 2006 James Podsiadly - 2011 Martin Mattner - 2012 Jack Gunston - 2013, 2014, 2015 Jake Lever - 2021 Patrick Dangerfield - 2022 Tyson Stengle -...

It's a different AFL world but the Crows 1997 Grand Final team had an average age of 25. Five players were under the age of 22 but they just happened to include McLeod, Edwards, Goodwin and Kane Johnson. We played six players under the age of 22 on Thursday and perhaps some of Rachele...

Was if ever explained if we were ever in the conversation for the deal that saw Jack Bowes + Pick 7 head to the Premiers for a hit on the salary cap given we were already dealing with GCS over Rankine? Because Izak+Bowes+Phillipou for Pick 3 and between $450-$600 on the salary cap is looking...

There are many what might have beens in life and football but this is the team the Crows drafted between 2015-2020 and below is a team they could have drafted from available SANFL players in the same period. It's an indictment on choices made and overlooked. AFC drafted from 2015-20220 B: Tom...
