Playing kids out of position for a meaningless game is AFC MO

While we've spent our good mid picks on Gallucci, Jones, McHenry and key defender McAsey

https://www.footywire.com/afl/footy/tp-adelaide-crows Our senior players. How many make it into a top 4 team? How many will retire or should get moved on? Over 200 games. Walker, Sloane, Laird, Smith. 150-200 games. None. 100-150 games. Crouch, Keays, Dawson, O'Brien, Murphy. 50-100 games...

He's a great bloke from a great family and he ran from Warrnambool to Brisbane one afternoon for fun just before he was drafted. We spent pick 16 on him, that sunk cost means we'll keep playing him (and Jones).

Then kicks a clanger

Its worse when you look at the picks we've wasted. Jones was taken with pick 9, McHenry pick 16 and add in Gallucci pick 15 2016 Zero from three great picks

After 4 rounds this year Carlton average 95.5 points per game (382 points for) Crows 57 (228) Putting that into perspective West Coast average 55 (221)

The battle of Carltons named mids of Cripps, Cerra & Hewett with Walsh coming off the bench against our Dawson, Laird & Keays with Crouch coming off the bench will be interesting. Surely Keays is HF replaced by Soli with Rankine getting regular squirts through the middle.
