I'm serious. Let's have ONE forum post for us fans to be (even slightly) positive about the direction the team is taking. It seems bad now, OK. But I firmly believe we have pulled the house apart and now we are rebuilding it in the right way (Albeit still work to be done.) If you want to be...

This time of year it's all about speculation and bold predictions, get's even more so post draft, but thought I'd get the ball rolling. Please add yours - but put yourself out there, be prepared to get it wrong. My BOLD Predictions for season 2020; Darcy Fogarty to: - Be our leading goal...

I am used to Trade week nonsense media garbage, but this year seems worse than ever. Rules of the game; Take a shot every time someone says: - 'Holding the whip hand' - 'Still a lot to play out' - 'He's a contracted player' I started an hour ago, Already hammered.

So much water to go under the bridge, ie; compensation, FA picks, trades etc etc - but as it currently stands..... With a need to split this pick into multiple picks, Who and what do we deal this pick with? I personally think GWS / Lions our best bet. (thinking long term, espescially when GWS...

Crows to ask for a compensation pick for 2019 draft to offset all of the games played by Kyle Hartigan.

With the end of season 2019 fast approaching and an all likely cleanout on the horizon, it would be interesting to hear what the 22 people would like to see of Round 1 (barring injuries) in 2020. My theory is 2020 is a year we just try and build, get games into kids, get experience / confidence...

Although we are definitely not finished and will no doubt be talking to both Gold Coast and St.Kilda in order to get 1 or even 2 picks in the top 5 - this is where we are at as it stands on completion of trade week. CURRENT DRAFT HAND : 8, 13, 16, 21, 72 and 82. IN Tyson Stengle (traded...

Please know that all of the below opinions are just my opinion. Player Comparisons are a mixture of media comparisons and my own based on footage etc. SO Be Gentle :) Based on Today’s draft order, only taking into account: GC getting a 1st Round compensation pick for Lynch leaving – (pick...

Keep / Cut / Trade / Upgrade? I'd be very interested to hear who people think at the end of the year we should Keep/Upgrade who we should Cut and who we should Trade. To keep it simple, maybe just mention the players you think we should trade/cut/upgrade and we'll all assume the rest are Keep...

The Event: Round 1, Friday Night. Essendon vs Adelaide. Etihad Stadium. The undoubted match of the round sees last years minor premiers and unfortunately (for us all) losing grand finalist matched up against the up and coming bombers. We all know the saga...

I see the AFL is running a 're-rank the 2001 Super draft' on their website, and I thought it might be interesting see from a crows fans perspective how we see it? (bearing in mind we didn't have a pick inside the top 10) And not taking into account players taken in the Rookie/pre-season drafts...

Looking at a list of blokes currently playing in the AFL that were drafted from the SANFL I've removed players that: - Play for Port Adelaide (Wingard, Hartlett etc) - Have already moved on from original club and unlike to move again (Redden, Polec etc) - No longer on AFL lists (Tapscott...

When it gets a bit closer to the draft date, I'll pop up a phantom draft of where I think the players will all end up, but now that the draft pick order is finalised, I thought it might be interesting to look at where I see best fit for potential draft picks. (based on position and overall need)...

With all the negativity in the footy forums, Australian media and twittersphere, I felt it was important to show that not everyone in the world things it's all doom and gloom for the GC Suns. In my opinion, which lets face it, is worth as much and as little as anyones :) I think the GC are...

With all the talk of the players that we've lost over the years,. It got me thinking, that's the basis of a pretty good side,.. (Albeit, we got the best out of MOST of these guys, but interesting to look at) As always, your thoughts/opinions are welcomed! FB: A.Ingerson(Melb)...

Hi all, Since moving to the UK in April 2016, I've always said that if the crows make a Grand Final, I'd fly back for it. So,.. when we starting dominating early this season, I started to look at the finances and get things ready. 7-8 weeks ago,.. I booked my flights. (Booked flexi fare so if...

One that not many Non-Crows fans would be familar with, but I think Wigg carries some real upside for a club looking for an accumulating half back / midfield with a great big left boot. Originally drafted Round 2, Selection 35 by the Adelaide Crows in 2014, Was selected in the All Australian...

After 19 Rounds,. and the mighty Crows sitting on top,. I think it's time to start predicting who will likely be rewarded with All Australian Consideration / Selection in 2017. My picks are: Squad: Matt Crouch, Jake Lever, Eddie Betts, Sam Jacobs Final 22: Rory Sloane, Tex Walker, Rory Laird...

Just read Bick's interview this morning and I have to admit,. this is hugely concerning. It confirms what I think alot of us have figured out from years gone by,.. our great club's ability to negotiate both on the trade table and in terms of player contracts is just not good enough...

Every year I find it hilarious that clubs (including AFC) scramble for to find the best 'Outside Midfielder' / 'Outside leg speed' 'Run and carry' Let's just look at our best performing Midfielders in 2017 so far. - Rory Sloane - Matt Crouch - Brad Crouch - Hugh Greenwood (has been a...

Would have been nice to start this back in Round 1,. then Update throughout the season,. but not to worry. Split it into 3 categories.. 'Locks', 'Squad/Borderline' and 'not far off' My prediction so far (After Round 12 Against the Saints) for All Australian selection Locks: Laird, Sloane...

Just having a quick look over expiring contracts for 2017 / 2018, Gonna be a busy couple of years re-signing alot of our top end talent. Fairly confident we keep most of the guys we want to, only exception being McGovern who sadly I think is gone. My predictions below TOP Priorities : Lever...

I know we just finished 2016 draft, but I thought it would be interesting to make prediction on the Jackson Edwards situation now then see how it plays out for the year. OK. Now I’m predicting the crows to have a big year,. Top 3 so based on this (and the fact we still have all of our 2017...

First attempt at doing this, so be gentle... Probably quite similar to a lot of the other Phantom drafts in the forum, but let's face it we all read the same articles :) Also I apologise in advance, as I've surely messed up the compensation / picks order somewhere along the line, but I tried my...

Where do you see Tex and Eddie ending up? Current records standing as follows : Adelaide’s all-time leading goalkickers 440 – Tony Modra (118 games) 303 – Taylor Walker (130 games) (26y + 4months) 292 – Mark Ricciuto (312 games) 275 – Andrew McLeod (340 games) 270 – Scott Welsh (129 games)...

I cannot believe how many crows fan seem to think that 2016 was an absolute disaster and the end of the season was an implosion!! We lost away in Sydney to the team who finished first over the season. A team that possesses probably the best midfield in the league currently AND Buddy Franklin...

I'm sure this has been done before,. but I was just thinking about this... Best 22 to pull on the crows jumper.. Only rule is they need to have played 50 games for Adelaide (so no squeezing in Wayne Carey) My team: (I'm sure I've missed somebody) :) FB: Ben Hart / Ben Rutten / Graham...

My mind was boggling away when I heard VB getting named this weekend, makes no sense to get games into him over a player like Wigg, CEY, Grigg, Beech etc,... then I thought.... MAYBE... They are giving him a game, because he is going to announce his retirement next week?? Long shot.. but thoughts??
