Rory Atkins

[Buzzasto DaSilva]

Pick 81 in the 2012 draft, where Adelaide gave away its first two draft picks due to the Tippett sanctions. A very high value selection with and averaged 20 touches a game this year and has really impressed me with an excellent game tonight, could be best on ground and the majority of football fans haven't heard of him.

Adelaide have picked up a lot of his type the past couple of years- very solid contributors without being noticed in the East (Cameron, Laird, McGovern, Lyons, Cheney). Fantastic drafting by the Crows and well done to the guy for making the most of his opportunity.

Sloane and M.Crouch were far better tonight. Good player, but he kicked like a mug.

I'm not sure we can say Rory on here.

Goal kicking sucked tonight, but that was a team wide disease.
Decision making and field kicking were great

 

[haydo]

Blokes a gun

Must have an incentive in his contract saying he gets a bonus if he sells enough candy each week.

Pick 81. Thanks for coming

Keep this shiz to the Adelaide board. Thanks

Kicked better than most of our team (besides 1 goal 3). Is a very good kick usually.

Considering Adelaide lost Dangerfield, Tippett, Davis, Bock + draft pick sanctions in seasons past they have done very well with their list.

Why dont we just start a thread for every player

 

[OldCrowBloke]

Why dont we just start a thread for every player

Perhaps we should only discuss Academy pick-ups, or maybe million dollar forwards?

So we shouldn't start threads on any players?

Ok. Maybe we can talk about how we can hold on to our guns and attract good players to our cub

Like mumford? So you have to play your million dollar key forward in the ruck?
Or jetta, or malceski.

Really missing those last two.

Pumping up the tires of your own players is always met with derision on BF, crafty move by OP to change the team before making the thread.

Mumford - we had him at his peak. Injury prone.

Jetta - Mrs wanted to go home and he cant get a regular game at WC

Malceski - Ask any Suns fan he has been poor and nowhere near swans form.

Tippett is one of the best Rucks in the game and troubles sides going forward, he just doesn't get the kudos he deserves. Its called being versatile

I'd call it good list management

Your point is???

Have we played you yet? How did Atkins go?

 

[Mr_Moogle]

He was a bees dick away from kicking one of the nicest checksides I've ever seen. Point of the year.

 

[StonesThrow]

A joy to watch. Coaches instruction should be to just get the ball into his hands. That touched goal at the start was ridiculous.
