Damien Hardwick quote on 360 tonight. "I think it's better for a kid's development to play 3 or 4 AFL games rather than 12 VFL games". But what would he know - he's only won 3 AFL premierships!!

You should read the comments underneath the article - nearly every comment reeking with cynicism. Who can blame us!! They were "hitting the trade period hard" last year - how well did that go!

They are risk averse when it comes to a young untried player being given an opportunity, but happy to risk an injured player in their "twilight years". Take that selection conservatism & directly link it to the coaching approach & I think you're getting close to a serious problem at the club...

Every draftee taken before Dan Curtin in last year's draft(7 players) has already played at least 1 senior game. If you have natural talent & are thrown in off the deep end you'll most often ultimately succeed. Gangly giants are the obvious exception, but not always - Hardwick is giving Ethan...

That is simply not true.

Can some clever person upload the Hamish interview. I simply Googled Hamish Ogilvie Interview 2023 & there's an interview he did 4 hours ago - very enlightening. They had more contact with Curtin earlier this year than people on here realise.

Rachele Pick 6 - pretty certain that's First Round!!

News.com "experts" latest phantom has us picking Leake, C Edwards(who they claim is the real bolter of this draft) plus Goad. Now that combo would make a lot of Crows supporters very happy. Also, both their phantom & the latest Fox attempt has GWS trading with WC to hand them Curtin.

Hamish on 5AA after 5pm today. Can't wait to hear Rowe's incisive questioning!!!

Charlie Edwards?

Spot on. It's like the kid who does well in Yr 12 & goes to Uni with no idea why exactly they're there, as they don't yet have any idea what career interests them, & subsequently drop out. Kinnear Beatson supported this today when he opined, after years in AFL recruitment, that 18 is too young...

Either McKercher(Dunkley was a huge loss for them) or Watson.

Well, if Andrew Capel is to be believed, Western Bulldogs will get GC's pick 4 for Pick 10++, but Crows strongly targetting Pick 10 from GC if/when that trade happens. He said Crows think, like you BC, that they need quality, not quantity right now.

And heard today that Pies have not played a match away from the MCG for exactly 2 months !!! Horrendous commentating, especially by Brayshaw tonight - Bruce & Dennis would be disgusted. Well done Giants - excellent year & a lot to look forward to.

Even Richo commenting that umps must give obvious frees, even if it's a final.

The most biased com The most biased commentary I have heard in many seasons. What the hell is Brayshaw on? He's far more biased than BT!! Bruce & Dennis would be disgusted. Daicos got Toby clearly round the neck(no free of course) & Brayshaw describes it as an excellent tackle. Total tool!!

I heard that & to be honest I didn't quite understand when he touched on Sanders. One moment he said that there's no chance of them getting him for nothing as if they did "all hell would break out", but then, as you've pointed out, talks about the NGA nonsense. Is this going to be another AFL...

And make certain that the tribunal stops downing frothies & cheesy snacks to announce their predetermined decision whilst 360 is still on, for maximum exposure.

For the last 15 years or so the GM of Football(or whatever title they've had over the years) does on occasion get involved in this way. Michael Christian for starters should have excused himself from this incident given his Collingwood ties. Do you remember early this year a couple of players...

We beat WC this week & other results go as they should we end up 11th. 14th last year - 3 more wins. It's a pass mark in any reasonable person's judgement. However, I do agree that the club must have finals expectations in 2024 & Nicks' future should be linked to that happening.

Yes, the media won't let this quietly disappear for the AFL.

The old chestnut - did they instruct EVERY player to wear longer stops - no choice.

If Crows beat WC, Tigers lose to Port, Geelong beat Bulldogs or not(doesn't matter), Dons lose to Pies then I think we finish 11th. We do have to beat Eagles though.........

No need to hold up the game. Do what FIFA does with offside decisions - let the play continue(so in this case Swans kick it in) & if ARC decide it's a goal immediately inform central umps, game stops, goal umpire instructed to reverse their decision & ball goes back to centre. Another gripe -...

Yes, their effort is great but Keane still learning & I've watched Borlase since U18s & he's simply too slow for AFL - got a good footy brain.

Sarcasm - ever heard of it?!!!!!!

Unless your tongue was firmly in your cheek that is the dumbest post so far, & may be the worst all night!!

The Eagles to this point in the season have the third worst win/loss record for over 50 years, but, to my knowledge, have not held out their hand to the AFL for assistance. North, on the other hand, were in the same position as the Crows 3 years ago, got more assistance(not hard given the Crows...

Can you(or anyone on here) shed any light on the Vic Country big-bodied midfielder, George Stevens? I understand he's just started playing again after an ACL tear & is a potential mid-field beast. Nobody would argue that we need one of those!!
