Considering the lack of international cricket the rest of the summer, there has been some calls for Australia vs Australia A to return
Thoughts on the lineups?

Pat...
It's coming!
What do you think? Are the Poms a chance? Could we go past the semis at the T20 World Cup? Will Travis Head get selected this year? Is Jake Carder the import the Redbacks needed?
We didn't seem to have a thread to discuss list management, so I thought I'd whack one up.

Who makes sense moving their picks on this year?
Western Bulldogs trading their first rounder down for points? Collingwood?
Who else makes sense trading, and who should they speak to?
I'd be interested to hear which players people think will get traded from their club this off season - and what the supporters of other clubs think they're worth?
Athletic Irish prospect Cathal McShane is set to train with Adelaide’s AFL squad in January.
Crows General Manager List Management and Strategy Justin Reid confirmed the Club will fly the 24-year-old to Australia in the coming weeks.
“We’re looking forward to Cathal joining our pre-season...
Anyone want to guess any potential pick swaps that could happen between now and the draft?
Melbourne pick 3 and the GWS pick 6 and 2020 first round is a pretty obvious one; you would almost be surprised that it hasn't happened if it was going to.
I quite like Freo's pick 22 for Adelaide's pick...
So - who wants to do an AFL Fantasy draft league on the Crows board?
We've had one on this board over the last few years, and it's been a decent amount of fun. I'll invite all those who have done that previously to join, plus folks whjo have been in other fantasy or draft games.
I'm thinking...
So, I'm heading back to Adelaide from Brisbane for this weekend, and I'd love people's suggestions on great places to watch the Grand Final.
I'm thinking somewhere you could go with a few people, have a great lunch and then have a great viewing experience of the game itself.
Any suggestions?
Just for fun.
Here's mine -
Aaron Finch
Tim Paine or Ben Dunk
Glenn Maxwell
Travis Head
Ashton Turner
Moises Henriques
Mitchell Marsh
James Faulkner
Pat Cummins
Adam Zampa
Scott Boland
Does this exist anywhere?
I remember one article that basically guessed at a number, but none that seemed to speak with any conviction.
Does this number exist outside of our board?
There is a boy's club at the Crows
Stephen Trigg ruined our club
The lack of draft picks destroyed our future
We've gone backwards with sponsorship
Sando won't pick the right juniors, is too chummy and plays favourites
There is a gold pass for certain players who clearly suck - I'm looking at...
It used to feel like it was maybe 70/30 to Crows supporters.
Now, if you listen to the media, it feels like it must be 50/50 between the Crows and Power. Maybe even an advantage to the Power.
The crazy articles overrating the home town team's chances that used to be written about Adelaide...
Maybe I've missed it - but has no-one posted a link up yet for Hughesey's visit to the Crows?
Funny or not, folks would probably be interested.
Some great videos being produced by the club at the moment, and photo features.
We should put them in a thread so people can find them.
Anyone found an iCal or downloadable calendar of the Crows fixture that can be imported into google calendar or outlook?
There's been one in the past, but so far ...
C'mon - it's a big issue.
GET BEN DUNK. To keep and open.
GET TWO TOPLINE SPINNERS. There's too many to go around. For me, I'd start with Ashton Agar and Ashton Turner, but there's C Doherty, Ahmed, O'Brien ...
GET A DECENT INTERNATIONAL and pair him with Morgan. Eoin disappointed but...
Okay, so we're in the middle of the Big Bash and we've shown our dominance in the Ashes.
So I might risk this board's wrath by discussing international T20.
Surely the Poms will pants us here - Hales, Bopara, Wright, Morgan, etc.
But who would be your T20 squad?
David Warner
Shane Watson...
I only ask, because even when the PAPs were at their darkest - and for a few years there they were a complete basket case - you would still see this indignant passion from their supporter base.
Essendon supporters will still deny they were running a system if human experimentation.
Richmond...
Has no one started this yet?
There are a lot of midlist players being discussed at Adelaide for trade.
They include Shaun McKernan, Mackay, Vince, Henderson, Jaensch, Wright, Lyons and others.
Many were inconsistent in 2013, but had fantastic 2012's and are young.
Thoughts?
