You understand the concept of recording a "best ever" time, right?or you could look at the 20 players who weren't up to the standard they have set before

Nah....the Crows won't carry declining stars or injured players with these promising young kids around
Good. Would be a terrible idea.It’s going to be difficult when we’ve got Tex, JJ and Lynch as certain starters down there. We won’t be able to replicate it, it’s pure fantasy. We can improve in that area, but there’ll be no replication.
Bloody Betts, Walker, JJ, Lynch, Jacobs, Otten, Douglas and Mackay let us down.Problem is these promising young stars aren't and may never be capable of becoming the ability in replacing the likes of Betts, Walker,JJ, Talia, Gibbs, Lynch, Jacobs, not many come through of that quality, but you need to try I suppose whuch is why the list is the most important part of a premiership, remind me how that's been going for us
You know what, I agree with a lot that you are saying, but personally I just think Milera could still benefit from 1 more season as a rotation player.We haven’t, it’s the belief that we have to be so structured with our thinking. Blight wasn’t out best coach because he sat on his hands based on a preordained plan. He moved with the game and took risks. Coaches these days are just planners.
I think we are more or less arguing the same point with a bit of semantics thrown in. My side was he spend the lions share down back to start the season, where-as others would say the opposite ratio.He won't be a full time mid ......but the time is right, year 4 .....he's ready, no use playing it safe
In the JLT i'd like to see Milera and Gooch get substantial minutes through the midfield. Also, the wing positions will be fascinating. All of a sudden we seem to have a plethora of guys that could be our outside running wingers for round 1.I can’t see the harm in playing him in the middle for the JLT
I think Andrew McPherson could be added to that list. Perhaps Will Hamill as the season progresses.In the JLT i'd like to see Milera and Gooch get substantial minutes through the midfield.

He's one of those blokes that rises and falls to the level of the team. He usually can't lift 'em up by himself, but if we're flying he usually is too.
I know people don’t like to give Rat a wrap but considering where he’s come from the fact he runs top 6 in a very high standard AFL running standard at crows is a massive testament to him
Can’t helo but go back to the last showdown where he was clutch when it counted and think he can continue to improve as he wants it bad
Well done Rat

I think Will Hamill could end up being a great pick up, but daresay he's in for a Doedee like wait in the Magoo's.I think Andrew McPherson could be added to that list. Perhaps Will Hamill as the season progresses.

Correct, also the reason pure outside mids are generally the club whipping boys etc Atkins, Mackay. If they are too contested then they are probably not providing enough outside run, but if they are not contested enough then they are seen as soft...It's very rare to have an outside midfielder who doesn't have that problem.
The more outside your game is, the more reliant you are on the work done by others.
That was his fame & passion .....so no surprise
But what i liked was coming to the finish line, Milera being more experienced, was happy to cruise to the line ......but Ned wanted the win, and his face showed the effort ....i like that in a player !
I predict major competition for Rat this year. You would have to say a fit Seedsman is this teams #1 attacking wingman. And before this offseason you would have automatically penciled in Rat for the opposite wing.Rat out of necessity was forced to play a little bit more of an inside role last year, hopefully this year he gets back to playing a more traditional outside role
Didn't we try to get kelly running through there last season? Looks to have a tank for it.In the JLT i'd like to see Milera and Gooch get substantial minutes through the midfield.

I wouldn't at all be surprised that in his exit interview Pykey told him that wasn't the case in 2019, and that he will need a hell of an offseason to win the role in week 1.
Fingers crossed it brings the best out in him, cause at his best he can be a very damaging player!
We did, and he made Mackay look like Matt Crouch. Kelly has the tank, just not the ability.Didn't we try to get kelly running through there last season? Looks to have a tank for it.

Its a very fine line and most outside guys struggle with consistency because of that!
He is the Greg Oden of the AFC.yes they did in 2017 they fell at the final hurdle, but 2018 didn't see the team get out of the blocks, what will this year bring

I actually don't think he's trolling, and reckon there'd be a few objective observers out there who'd agree with his assessment.
I'm obviously not objective myself, but I tend to agree with him. There'll obviously be be a few other big improvers in the comp this year as well, but none with the upside that we've got. We seem to be doing most things right so far (particularly in terms of the players mindset, attitude and fitness). Throw in a functional Brad Crouch (which is massive) and a fully restored Brodie - both of whom massively improve the make up of our team - and a couple of quality first round draft picks that address a couple of our gaping issues in speed and tackling - we'll be right there at the pointy end I reckon.
