Good: Top 4 draft pick this year. Bad: Crows draft record the past 10 years and knowing that top 4 pick probably wont even make it as an AFL player. Ugly: Peaking at 10th place last year after a 7 year rebuild and needing to start a new one.

David Mackay. What a champion of the game.

Maybe he's already told the club to get stuffed after not playing him all year?

Clearly hit the padding when it was a meter clear of the padding...

100% did not hit the post or the padding. Incorrect call. Crows should've won that game.

If Matt Crouch played all year they would've made the finals.

Aaaaand the season is over. Not far off the mark, but not good enough this year.

Just imagine how many free kicks the lad is going to get over his career.

Will be interesting to see how the media react if Tim Taranto goes to Richmond. Higher draft pick than Rankine, poached from an expansion club. Couple years older sure, but pretty similar scenarios.

Ugly, pushing guys out the club like Matt and Brad Crouch, Tyson Stengle, probably Sholl as well at this rate. Took all season for Worrell to get a game. Even Darcy Fogarty could barely get a game in the first half of the season until there were rumours of Brisbane looking to poach him. All...

Good decision from the club to keep him around. He's a great depth player and not far off the level of being top 22. Just has guys like Walker and Fogarty in front of him, but definitely worth having on the list. Not every player in the team needs to be a star of the game.

11 disposals and a behind? I see he’s eyeing up Murphys position already. Going to fit in great.

I don't know... If I got a job offer from another company doing the exact same thing I am now, but for more money and get to move back to my home state, I honestly wouldn't give a s**t how well either company performs. Sure losing a game sucks, but it's a pretty small factor in life.

Damn, 66 games as a 21 year old! Can't even imagine a crows player ever getting close to that at the same age.

Blatant cheating at this point.

Team is absolutely stacked with a certain type of player. Short, slow, couldn't hit the side of a barn, totally lacking in any noticeable talent or physical attributes... But they try really hard and give 100% effort. Might be enough to scrape out a couple wins here and there and be...

Crows don't need to accept until Wednesday 5pm. Trade period starts Wednesday morning. Probably waiting to receive a separate favourable trade Wednesday morning on top of the compo pick before accepting. This may be a band 3 + steak knives deal.

Been some great rookie picks, they've just stunk it up in the national draft.

Yeah I can't quote either. Atkins or McGovern are not terrible, but wouldn't say they're genuinely good either. Lever, yeah fair call but he left. Rest of them have shown good signs but are all maybes at this point. Although I'm pretty confident about Sholl and Schoenberg. 2012 - Sam...

So I'm kind of excited about the idea of having 6-8 picks in the first 3 rounds, depending on free agency, but I can't help but notice Adelaide's record in the national draft has kinda been below par since Matt Rendell left. Matt Crouch and Tom Doedee are the only genuinely good players in 9...

Pretty happy going into the draft considering we haven’t really stuffed up a top 25 Pick in the past 10 years. Player retention and draft sanctions aside, it’s a pretty decent list of talent. Just think of adding 4 more players of this quality to the group. 2007 Pick 10 Dangerfield 2008 Pick...

Looks like a cartoon robot crow... It's a crowbot! I approve. Although I like my version of the old logo. Give it a beefy arm out the back of it's neck and some angry eyebrows and it's a kick ass logo.

Sigh. Calling someone black isn't racist or offensive. Insulting someone because they're black is, but that's not the case here. Complete non story. Just the media making a fuss because publishing crap about racism gets attention, even if it's as soft as this event.

Pretty much what that guy said. GWS need to be successful to prevent the AFL losing a ton of money, so they'll be given everything they need.

I saw Petrenko bumb the ball carrier a couple times. That wont add to tackle stats but he was closing distance and applying pressure.

One thing you like least about the game? Well... that's an easy one. The constant rule changes and convoluted definitions that allow inconsistent umpiring to still be "correct" 99% of the time, while people watching are left confused and frustrated. Needs more obvious rules that aren't open to...

This is what I want as well. It would prevent the current premiers getting even stronger next year, which would increase our chance of winning it ourselves. If the compensation is better, or Tippett doesn't get to go where he wants, they're both bonuses.

Are there any to just poach with free agency? Offloading Tippett, Knights and Tambling should free up some space to go after someone.
