Lets go crazy?, Shane Crawford.
I was only young when he was at his peak but he will always be one of my favourite players, loved the way he played.Crawf pioneered gut running in the AFL, one of my favourite players of all time, I miss his 40m handballs

Probably why i went on to love Cousins (on the field) and currently love Walsh. Watching those guys at the ground is just crazy.
Hopefully Ward can get to a similar level.
That would be a great outcome. Crawf one of the top gut runners in the history of the AFL, up there with Harvey, Cousins and Scully.
That was the great difference between Sculley and Crawf.And more impactful than all three at his peak. Played that running game with controlled aggression, could worry an opponent with his physicality - no small feat given his size.
unlike Cousins, he didn’t need long rests on the bench to keep going the whole game either. Only when rotations took off did he sit on the pine in order to continue to have an impact.
That was the great difference between Sculley and Crawf.
Both elite endurance runners but Crawf had a level of power and athletisicm that Sculley never possessed.
I even remember Crawf playing CHB on Hird one year and he matched him in the air and at the contest. That is something Sculley (or even Cousins or Harvey) couldn't have achieved.
I think the post before may have undersold Cousins and Harvey a bit, but all three are clearly in a different tier to Scully who had all the run without ever having the accumulation or the impact.
Yeh thats fair.I think the post before may have undersold Cousins and Harvey a bit, but all three are clearly in a different tier to Scully who had all the run without ever having the accumulation or the impact.
Josh Ward adds his name (albeit under-aged) to the list of players from the 2017 School Sport Australia, Australian Football U15 All-Australian side.
Edit: Josh is 3rd from right in the front row.

It's December. I'd argue it's all that matters.3 pages of arguing over 2-3 cms.
None of it matters.
Anyone think Ward might get the number 9?
Hoping with a new coach in charge that we get new kids getting lower numbers and the return of long sleeves.
I don’t know why, but I can see Sicily, Day and Wingard all wearing the long sleeves if the club brings it back.
Could be the difference to getting a finger on the ball standing on the mark as the opposition lines up for the match winning goal in the GF though!3 pages of arguing over 2-3 cms.

Alex Lee wore 14 and 28, Ward wore 15 growing up for Hodgy. I think 13 suits him well, hangs around the mid-teens but gets his own thing.Wonder what number his grand father wore and whether he would want that?
would be un-Hawthorn to allocate a low number for a drafteeAnyone think Ward might get the number 9?
