How can you spend years down the bottom accumulating top draft picks and mid rebuild have a midfield profile of a side in the window.

Crouch, Dawson, Laird, Keays and O'Brien.
Ages 29, 27, 30, 27 and 29 by the end of the year.

Waiting in the wings... The even older and nearly cooked Rory Sloane

The W/L record without Walker is concerning.

Adelaide are a bit of out of sight out of mind over here but seeing them get beat by a team with that midfield last night was surprising.
Doesn't look like they've prioritised elite midfielders at the draft and it shows.

Keays isn't a midfielder and Sloane isn't best 22

But you're not wrong, We have Rachele, Rankine, Soligo, Pedlar, ect waiting for more midfield opportunity yet Nicks overrates and prioritizes Crouch, Laird and Berry who are old and/or have little hurt factor

McAsey & Jones over Butters & Serong/Day is literally the difference for the Crows.

Both for now, and the foreseeable future.

 

[RanaNaved]

I like the Crows but they don't seem to have acquired much midfield quality while they were down near the bottom

 

[wimpy]

The Crows had a chance to draft Serong/Day (same draft) and Wang - Milera in a later draft but didn't.
They manage to turn good draft positions in to average players.
