Best Crow that never quite made it

Henschell and Otten.

If injury didn't strike when it did I would have loved to have seen what both of those could have become.

I feel like I saw Otten's ceiling as a player, it was just short lived. Hentschel on the other hand was basically assassinated by the football gods. It's impossible to know what his ceiling was.

Chris Knights....

Remember this guy having a season or too in the late 00's or so which were damn good then got cruelled by injuries then pensioned off to Richmond I think...

Real shame as recall he had a raking left foot kick and natural footy IQ...

Did we? We saw 1 season of Otten and he looked like potentially being elite and becoming a Pendlebury like midfielder. Then it all went downhill.

I never felt that way about Otten tbh but it's possible I was underrating him. I thought Hentschel had more x-factor.

Brett James

Nah he made it. 2 time premiership player - and quite handy in the 1998 one in the second half when we came back.

Had a decent career and got out as much as he could.

 

[Cromulant]

So did Aaron Keating

Brett actually won 2.

Not sure he'd agree with the last sentence TBH.

He wasn't as talented as Roger though

Keating played in one the next week

Despite my pathological hate for all things Port, Hodges was one player I did like from there. Really wanted him to be a gun for us.

He never really looked at ease playing for us which was regrettable. Probably suffered from the PA vs the Rest stigma?

Ironically, I read that he actually supports Collingwood in the AFL, not the Paer.

i didnt know that about him supporting Collingwood. He was my first footy hero, i had the number 17 on my crows guernsey in 1991. I think if it wasnt for his bung knees and Cornsey he would have made it.

Had one outside my window for months, beautiful looking thing.
One day it flew straight into the front window.

David Marshall - only age prevented him from being a club legend.
