    Why do you think the Crows cant hang onto players?

    Also arguably a reasonable example of confirmation bias.

    Why do you think the Crows cant hang onto players?

    That well known finals performer Bryce Gibbs?

    Is it time for a Mid Season Draft?

    What's your rationale for that? A limited form of free agency where Melbourne could just sign an undrafted ruckman would be more appropriate IMO. Having said that, I'm against it all, part of the challenges of list management.

    2013 South Australian Draft Prospects

    I'm also intrigued by the logic that Scharenberg shouldn't play AFL because he needs highly skilled players around him to play well. Jack Watts notwithstanding, the players in the AFL tend to be as highly skilled as you can get.

    2013 South Australian Draft Prospects

    I realise he's a few years off, but Chris25 do you know anything of Kieran Aigus from North? Seems ridiculously dominant?

    James Sellar

    James Sellar

    He's not an awful shortish second ruck and in a good team can make a handy third tall. He just makes an atrocious third tall in a poor team.

    James Sellar

    Best case scenario is a poor man's Tom Hawkins or Leigh Brown. So basically only if a premiership contender was in the market for a relatively versatile 2nd ruck and was already very short. Kept thinking Carlton wouldn't be the worst place in the world for him but for the fact with...

    Tommy Walsh to Swans for 35 and 68

    Think we all suspected the Swans had something up their sleeve when the Johnston deal seemed so unders. Good get.

    Chris Knights

    From that list isn't Stevens the only one who really "walked" though? I suppose in a manner of speaking Rawlings did.

    Selection 32 Adelaide - Player #176564 - Kurt Tippett (Southport)

    Just quietly, every time the words James Hird or Chris Grant are mentioned here I'm mentally comparing the w***er Essendon and Bulldog's supporters to this other w***er: Yo, Yo other 14 clubs, I respect you, and I'm going to let you finish and that but James Hird and Chris Grant were the...

    The history of pickflation

    ...to an extent vindicated this year with the "They know we're coming" marketing campaign which traded off the premise of a very talented list that has achieved **** all in living memory. The extent to which draft picks affect the business of a club should not be underestimated in this day and age.

    Selection 32 Adelaide - Player #176564 - Kurt Tippett (Southport)

    Well according to the Crows they were going to take Tippett until Sellar unexpectedly slipped, I know who I'd believe;) Also agree there should be a statute of limitations, say 5 - 7 years on discussing whether a draft pick constitutes a "steal."

    Chris Knights to Kangaroos

    His family moved over to Adelaide to live with him. I call Bullshit!

    Draft Tanking

    ...really count any of the pre-1991 drafting as real though. How players were drafted without nominating is total Victorian BS. Jarman did however **** the Crows over pretty bad in 1991 through agreeing to sign, the Crows then reserved him one of their safe 10 spots and then Hawthorn offering...

    Jonathon Griffin off to Sydney

    I'm fairly certain you told us he was traded to Fremantle last year? I call bullshit.

    Kurt Tippett - Southport / Queensland

    Fair enough, what I was trying to say, is that if you were picking a tall to play this week from the 2006 draft, it would probably be Tippett.

    Kurt Tippett - Southport / Queensland

    Funny remembering how highly some of the bigs were rated coming into the 2006 draft such as Gumbleton, Hansen, Reid, Riedwvolt, Sellar, Thorpe and the Browns that Tippett has arguably outstretched them all. Also interesting to note how they're almost doing well in the reverse of their draft...

    2009 SA U18 Championship Squad

    Will be interesting to see what if any effect the new elite U18s competition has on the standard. My two to watch would be Panos and Evans.

    Brenton Phillips likely South Australian Draftees.

    In the Adelaide Sunday Paper South Australian U18 coach named his likely draftees from South Australia, in no particular order (Ok the order they were in the paper) they were: Tyler Brimacombe (Sturt) Mathew Broadbent (WWT) Paul Cahill (Sturt) Phil Davis (North Adelaide) Chris...

    The only things I'd consider from Melbourne are Rivers and Mclean.

    Draft camp 08

    Is there any reason it needs to last for a whole 4 days though? Could it be done over a weekend or perhaps even a 3 day weekend to minimise it's disruption to schooling?

    Draft camp 08

    You do have yours, and I have mine. But I don't hold that against you. Nope, it's SANFL League, Reserves and Under 19s Grand Final week. The only league that's not affected is the Under 17s, which this will be the first time in years someone will actually be drafted from. And Leather Magnet...

    Draft camp 08

    It's a slap in the face of the SANFL, still the second best competition of Australian Rules Football. It's a direct implication that the TAC Cup, the WAFL, the QAFL, the TFL etc. etc. etc. are all more important than the SANFL. If this problem affected one Victorian player (let alone two)...

    Draft camp 08

    Just quietly, you may not have noticed, but 21 years ago the VFL became the AFL:rolleyes: If the Victorian leagues had their grand final this weekend how much do you want to bet that the AFL would put it back a week. Typical Prictorian imperialism.
