Thought it would be an interesting list management exercise by picking best side for different age caps... to get an idea of which areas we will need to develop players going forward & also add to our list going forward.
Best Team - No Age Limit
B: Laird 32, N Murray 25, Keane 26

Have done this thread a few times in the past.
Rank our list by most important to the success of our team next sesson... as opposed to order of best player. Ie. Who can we least afford to lose.
1 Rankine - our best matchwinner
2 Dawson - our captain is most influential behind Rankine

The final installment of picking the best side in this decade so far.
This time, pick your best 7 forwards for the Adelaide line-up, including the 1 bench rotation.
Tex, Betts & TGT are no brainer selections. I prefer JJ (228 goals @ 2 per game) over Tippett (188 goals in 104 games) & he...
Next installment of picking the best side of this decade. This time the midfield group.
The beginning of the decade started with the retirements of 3/4 Fab 4 - Macca, Goody & Edwards senior. Given they only played 2010, I have left them all out, even though legends of our club.
My midfield...
We have done the polling for the upcoming season, so continue the off-season fun, let's have a go at coming up with our best team of the decade so far (since 2000).
Kick it off with the defenders. My 7:
B: Laird, Rutten, Johncock
HB: Smith, Talia, van Berlo
I: Otten (swingman)
The 4...
The final installment after the defence & midfield threads... Pick 7 forwards, including the interchange rotation. Also, you can't pick a player you have already picked as a defender or forward.
In 2017, we had the most dangerous forward line, but this year we lose Cameron... including his...
The 2nd part of this installment is to pick the Crows midfield, including the 6 starters & the 2 bench rotations (note marty36 ).
You can't pick a player who you have already included in your defensive 7, nor who will be in your forward 7.
My midfield group are:
R: Jacobs, Sloane, B Crouch
C...
There has been plenty of discussion on the best 22 thread as to the makeup of our defensive unit next year.
We have had Lever be true to his name & Smith unfortunately likely out for the whole season, so who gets an opportunity?
My backline is.
B: Brown, Talia, Doedee
HB: Milera, Hartigan...
Been some discussion about how we have drafted, so let's have a look in retrospect.
If we rank the players comparing their draft order to their games played as an indicator (obviously excluding quality of performance).
2007
+6 Dangerfield (10th pick v 4th most games played)
-3 Otten (27 v 30)...
I haven't done this for a few years, so whilst waiting for the rain to subside to get into my garden, thought I would come up with my list.
Note this is not a best player list, but a most important player list. When ranking, think about who we could least afford to lose through injury...
Did this last year in the off season.
Select your best team using 1 player from every side.
B: Rampe (Syd), Rance (Rich), Wood (WB)
HB: Shaw (GWS), Tarrant (NM), Docherty (Carl)
C: Stevens (STK), Fyfe (Freo), Z Merrett (Ess)
HF: Zorko (Bris), Lynch (GC), Gray (Port)
F: Rioli (Haw), Kennedy...
Pick your 7 forwards for your best 22 - 6 starters + 1 bench rotation.
Plenty of exciting goal-kicking options this year :)
Mine:
F Betts, Jenkins, Menzel
HF: Lynch, Walker, Cameron
I: Knight
With the departure of someone to Moggs, name your 8 midfielders, including the ruckman in your best 22. ie. 6 on-field + 2 bench players.
Mine:
R: Jacobs, B Crouch, Sloane
C: Smith, Thompson, Douglas
I: M Crouch, Ellis-Yolmen
Apologies to Hampton - won't let me add him...
As the thread title suggests, pick the 7 defenders (6 on field + 1 interchange rotation) who would be in your 1st 22 side.
My defence:
B: Brown, Talia, Lever
HB: Seedsman, Hartigan, Laird
I: Jaensch
I haven't done this for a few years, but thought it would be good to start up again.
Rank the crows' squad in terms of importance to the team. Ie. Who could we least afford to lose. This is not a beat player ranking.
1. Talia - defence would be vulnerable.
2. Jacobs - lose dominance he gives...
If you could put together an afl team with 1 player from each side, what would it look like...
B: Shaw (gws), hooker (bombers), armitage (saints)

C: cripps (blues), fyfe (dockers), d beams (lions)

c: K johnson, Ricciuto, Wiederman
Hf: P dangerfield, m Stevens, T edwards
f: Vardy, Modra, d Jarman
r: D pittman, Goodwin, C...
To keep the pre-season interesting, thought would be worth a crack of picking your best Crows side, where you can only pick 1 new player who came to AFC each season (the 1st time), by way of draft or trade or the initial squad.
Details of AFC's trades are here (though think Scott Stevens is...
On the main board, some posters are combining the players of 2 clubs into 1 side, so thought why not have a go with Adelaide...
Here is a combo with the Cats to kick things off:
B: Johncock, Scarlett, Mackie
HB: Enright, Bock, Goodwin
C: Vince, Bartel, Ling
HF: Knights, Mooney, Chapman...
Whilst I hate losing showdowns, we should be picking a team with an eye for the future.
In:
Walker - in form & seriously what other better forward options do we have
Jericho - unlucky to be dropped & Brirdman replacement
Moran - gives us a versatile option
Otten - form deserves more than...
