    Certified Legendary Thread 2 x Premiership Coach Chris Scott contracted to 2029 (aka the Chris Scott volumes

    Speaking of which, can the title of this thread be changed please? It gives way too much false hope to fans of other clubs burdened with shit coaches, that he's available at the end of the year

    Confirmed second-hand by a mate of a former player who interestingly was also one of the beneficiaries of the Nicks selection masterclass. Not liked.

    Opinion Non-Crows AFL 14 "Put your Foot in it"

    Either it's a reflection of journalistic standards at present or that is a copy paste of a Carlton press release, but there is zero critical analysis in that puff piece. Everything is stated as fact, rather than, "Carlton claims". All it needed was a sentence to say, he has passed a drug test

    Opinion Non-Crows AFL 14 "Put your Foot in it"

    In order for the umpires to warrant a voice that's considered to be above that of a player, it needs to be backed by standards, accountability and a system of checks and balances to ensure impartiality and professionalism. In absence of that (or at least in any transparent sort of way), they...

    Welcome Welcome to Adelaide - Finnbar Maley

    His intangible benefit is his boundless enthusiasm and energy. Seems really big into his self-belief / positive thinking mindset, and from the stands what I noticed (beyond a great overhead mark) is how he's getting around teammates and really revving them up - more than all the empty high fives...

    As told to me by the father of one of the local Legs players, the Tassie contingent of the team who came over for playing opportunities, are expected to go back following the close of the season and not many are expected to return next year because the Tassie VFL team are offering $25k sign-on...

    News Ian McKeown - Crows High Performance Manager

    Read their press release, we're nobodies to them, zero international profile. They're also desperate for good news; the last few years have been depressing for a team that, domestically at least, had no genuine competitors for ~twenty years. Still, all is forgiven for the only black and white...

    Opinion Are we a "legitimate" chance of winning the flag in 2025?

    I have felt all season that Collingwood live on old glory earnt by predominantly veteran players, and are due to be overrun in a very big way. I suspect we held serve last time on our game plan and that we'll not just win, we will smash them off the park - 40 points plus

    So when Ben Keay's disallowed goal robbed us of finals, all those primetime games that were scheduled the year after were a happy coincidence, and not some moustache-twirler in AFL House balancing the ledger as demanded by our club? Now, if this were a legitimate sport, I'd agree with you - but...

    With StK leading the charge against NGAs, what if AFL House told you they'd endorse a trade for NWM but the price you pay would be them blocking your NGA application for Cochrane (and Pilot, I think not yet confirmed?). Would you still want Nas?

    I've been told similar in the last week, info I would normally dismiss as nuffy talk, except my person has first-hand access to our executive. Suspect all three clubs still think they're in front at this point. (Maybe it was our conversation that was overheard for MMM 😂)

    At the end of the day, StK management also need to save face; they would much rather three firsts then fringe players - and anyone who does transfer, would do so knowing they'd be hated from day one. StK will certainly scream but at the end of the day, compromised or uncompromised drafts, three...

    Opinion Are we a "legitimate" chance of winning the flag in 2025?

    I thought Gold was guaranteed, but I was told it was a raffle in 2017? Bigman's summer training reports (and that a bunch of the guys got sensible haircuts) told me they were going to be laser-focused this year, and I'd seen enough by March to get Gold. Booked accommodation last week. Couldn't...

    This is an scenario that would align with what you're proposing above. We overpay for Draper, ensuring it generates Dons a Top 10 compo pick, better than they would otherwise receive. Dons then have 3 top 10 picks – we package our ’25 P1 and a proven role player or untested first rounder...

    We'd burn West Lakes down. Unicorn player who's quickly become a fan favourite. We'd take our chances on luring Sharp back in years to come if he comes on, and we'd expect nothing less than for you guys to return to favour!

    Hypothetical to consider. We overpay for Draper, ensuring it generates Dons a Top 10 compo pick. Dons then have 3 top 10 picks – we then package our ’25 P1 and perhaps a player (Sholl, Edwards, etc) rather than additional picks, for one of the Don's three (probably for optics, not the one we...

    Both fair responses, cheers. I'm now wondering if the idea is maybe we sweeten the package up with some of our kids or role players, i.e. the pair of Vic late-first picks who can't break into the team, or someone like Lachie Scholl who's far too good for SANFL, but was kicked from his winger...

    Recruiting AFL Draft Watch 2025 - Picks 9, 10, 13, 37

    Hi everyone, a thought came to me (sorry if this has been mentioned elsewhere)- What if the Crows' play for Draper could be partly explained as pick purchasing, giving him a contract that ensures he generates you a Top 10 compo pick - which is then on-traded to the Crows for a whole raft of...

    Off question, but the way Caro constantly stretches out the name Mileeeera, does anyone at your club pronounce it that way? Our Milera is just plain old Mill-er-ah, is it a stubborn Caro thing or is there a basis to it? Constant bother to me when I assume she butchers his name every single damn time

    Strategy Trade and List Management Thread Part 7 (opposition supporters - READ posting rules before posting)

    Although Crows have the better draft hand, Saints are likely to ask for players and the Crows have built their best 23 squad around primarily local guys who would need to be heavily incentivised to leave. Port's list is heavily Vic-based, so more likely to find people to poach - and the rumours...
