It's bye week for us, so for something a bit fun to pass the time I thought I'd look at our current playing squad and what their draft/trade route was here to the Crows. Some players were bargains, some were fair value, some cost way too much. Often the players we've taken with trade knives from...

One Crows win this weekend was nice... how about two? If we're going to be a force in the finals this year we really need to knock off the Bulldogs. Quite a few changes this week: In: Button, Ponter, Metcalfe, Forth Out: Munyard, Sedunary, Whiteley, Biddell (all omitted) I think the omissions...

We come up against our bogey side this week. Other than 2019 when we blew them out of the water like every other team we faced in that late-season blitz, we always seem to struggle with Melbourne. Win this week and we're almost certain to hold onto a top four spot, with top two a real...

Didn't see a thread yet so figured I would start it. With Freo going down the field above us is starting to open up. Important match to win! Teams are in, we've dropped Metcalfe (managed) and Forth (injured) and brought in Gould and Sedunary. Sedunary's first match in Crows colours since 2018...

Tally so far (Updated March 15th - after round 5) POTY: 8 - Anne Hatchard 4 - Jess Foley 4 - Sarah Allan 3 - Courtney Gum 3 - Danielle Ponter 3 - Erin Phillips 2 - Ebony Marinoff 2 - Angela Foley 1 - Rhiannon Metcalfe ROTY: 1 - Rachelle Martin 1 - Caitlin Gould 1 - Najwa Allen 1 - Nikki Gore...

Now that a bit of time has passed and we've had a chance to see how various future pick trades worked out, and who we took with various picks, I thought it might be interesting to review the big trades that the Crows have been involved in over the last two years. Namely, the Lever, Gibbs and...

After some recent posts about our AFLW team, it dawned on me that I know nearly nothing about the story of most of our current squad. For our men's team the story is almost always the same, they're star juniors who played for X/Y/Z clubs and then they got drafted, or in rare cases, they're...

We finished the season in 12th spot, but funnily enough that had very little bearing on our draft picks outside of the first round since we came into 2018 having traded out our 2nd, 3rd and 4th round picks. At the end of the season, our draft hand looked like this. 1st round: Ours (7)...

I very rarely start threads, this is very exciting for me :) Okay, for the 2016 and 2017 seasons, our ball movement was arguably the best in the competition. Sometimes we'd miss shots on goal, sometimes our aggressive style would lead to us leaking goals, but the one thing you could rely on was...

We came into the 2017 offseason with picks 16, 35, 54, 73 and 91. In the end, we traded away every one of those picks, and also lost Lever, Cameron and Wigg. In return, we ended up with Gibbs, Gibson, Fogarty, McPherson, an extra 1st round pick next year (Melbourne), and upgraded our 2nd...

I think it's fair to say that we could very easily not be in this week's Grand Final if not for Mitch McGovern's efforts this season. Even if we cherry pick one moment, his goal after the siren to give us a draw against Collingwood changed the course of our finals series - we would have been...

Richmond, or GWS? Who do you think we have the best chance of beating? I'm going with GWS. Reckon we match up well against them, and their style of play suits us, they like to just move it on all the time and we're so good at creating a turnover and rebounding.

I think when it comes to things like commenting on the attractiveness of the women players vs male players etc, context is really required. Men have been playing in the AFL for over a century, whereas women have had a home there for one weekend so far. This is the first time ever that women...

Everyone can think of amazing entrance themes, but what are some of the worst you've ever heard? As I recently posted in another thread, Planet Staziak has to be up there: I ******* hated this abomination of a theme for Mark Henry back in 2002 And of course, this classic terrible mashup...

In my mind, to win the premiership this year, we really need to finish top 2. I like our chances of beating almost anyone over here in Adelaide, but very few of the top 4 contenders at their home grounds. Looks like it's going to be very tough, though. If GWS win today against Port, there are...

Was reflecting on our team today and it dawned on me we have quite a lot of players who are playing good footy despite not being very highly rated in their draft years, many of which were also let go by another club before coming here. The following all played in our win tonight against West...

Has anybody been able to work out what the * the "Pressure Gauge" is actually measuring? The only thing I've heard so far is "if at any stage there is a difference of 10, you have an 80% chance of winning" (another commentator said "your team is GUARANTEED to win!"). Considering the scale...

As much as I've enjoyed the last two wins, there's been a voice in the back of my head each time telling me not to get too excited. In both games, Richmond and Port played like s**t, and moreover, they played gamestyles that seemed almost custom-designed to play into the Crows' hands. As...

Thread to welcome the second-best draftee of 2015!

Didn't see one so I figured I'd start one. Of course it's unlikely to end up being pick 9, but oh well! Hopefully he ends up being a ripper!

What a ripper couple of games he's had to start off with us. I love him already! Committed to the ball, not afraid to hurt his opponent when he gets a chance, and (one awful kick on the weekend aside) a pretty nice user of the ball as well. I'm hoping he can be another Bassett for us - a player...

After five years or so it's time for me to hand in my moderator's badge. As much as I've enjoyed cleaning up the mess you guys leave this forum in all the time, work and other aspects of life are taking up more and more of my time. After six months of leaving all the work to Allefgib and Carl...

Held Riewoldt goalless today to end his season on 49 goals. Another brilliant effort from a man who, in my opinion at least, has been easily the best lockdown defender in the comp this year. Surely he has to be AA. Considering we're just about the worst team in the comp when it comes to...

It's taken me the majority of the season to stop pinching myself and actually believe it, but Matty Jaensch has had a really good season so far. Sure, he still makes the occasional blue, but that's the case for every defender. This year he's started doing two things which have really impressed...

Welcome Jake Kelly!

Of course, their effect will still be felt for quite some time to come, but at least from this point forward we can resume business as usual :thumbsu: May we never be in that awful situation again.
