van Berlo announced as Captain
Re: Nathan Van Berlo announced as captain I don't see how people are at all surprised about this. He was always going to be named captain, we have known this for years. People who think this means Dangerfield won't captain the club because Van Berlos age think again. There is no rule that a... -

We finally have our small "defensive" crumbing forward???
On trade week radio Tambling stated that he expects to play on the Wing/HBF and would like small stints in the middle. -
Richard Tambling officially a Crow!
Talking on Trade week radio NOW! -

Great All Australian discussion with glen jakovich. -

Past #31: David Hale - drafted at #7 in the Superdraft - 129 games for NM - traded to HFC in 2010
I come in peace but seriously I think people need to stop using this as an example for ruckmans value. Firstly, this trade has been highly criticized even at the time it was made. Secondly, its hard to compare the two as at the time Wood was still young while Hale isn't. Wood had a lot more...- Words: 64

Trading for a Ruckman: do we actually need to?
Everyone would love Cox here. What I think people mean is that he isn't worth what we would have to pay to get him here. Hes 29 with fitness issues and would cost us our first round pick plus something else. If Knights doesn't sign I wouldn't mind throwing him at the Roos for McIntosh. He is... -
Trading for a Ruckman: do we actually need to?
Hindsight is a wonderful thing but at the time it wasn't that ridiculous not to offer him a 3rd year. Griffin at the time looked like he could be anything and we also had Maric knocking on the door. At that time it looked like we had our ruck sorted but in reality they haven't progressed like... -
Trading for a Ruckman: do we actually need to?
Was the only reason he didn't sign the fact we wouldn't give him 3 years or did the 1 week ban for breaking curfew make him want to move clubs? -
Trading for a Ruckman: do we actually need to?
Even with fitness issues Cox is worth a 1st rounder. If we offered your suggested trade West Coast we wouldn't even here a reply because thats how far off it would be. -
Rumour CROWS-RELATED TRADE RUMOURS - ALL trade rumours go here!
Jacky got a 2 year contract last year but is as good as gone. In his third year now and is struggling to get out of the SANFL reserves. We are still in need of a small forward. -
Jonathan Giles?
I would consider a mature age rookie spot if he has really improved that much or any other State league ruckman for that matter. -
Trading for a Ruckman: do we actually need to?
According to every other club supporter on bigfooty we are in desperate need of a ruckman. As far as I see it quantity wise we have one of the largest lists yet quality wise we would be down the bottom. Currently we have: Ivan Maric: Currently our best ruck imo and has improved over the... -
Jonathan Giles?
Considering Ports ruck situation when he was delisted definitely no. He wouldn't be better than anything we have got. What I think people are forgetting when throwing up ruckman is the fact that we are short of Quality ruckman not quantity. But this isn't going to stop us being linked to... -
2010 End of Season Player Reviews
According to the grading systems B+ would be just above expected expectations. While If you asked most Crows fans expectations for Henderson and Jaensch at the start of the year it definitely wouldn't have been to play at least half of the crows games and maintain their spot in our 22. These... -
2010 End of Season Player Reviews
IMO Jaensch and Henderson have to be in the A category. Last year Henderson was just starting to make Centrals senior side and 12 months later he is easily in our best 22. Jaensch was a very late rookie pick and If you had told me he would play 11 games this year (and at the level he did) I... -
Cashed up Crows gear up for Trades
They could do with Stevens leadership qualities around the club and Cooks explosive pace. They might have to throw in a late pick to even it out :p -
What is going on with Shaun McKernan and the AFC?
Lets not forget that the Kangaroos overlooked Shaun twice in the national draft. Its uncertain if they even rate him that highly. The trade rumours haven't even really started up yet, its all just big footy speculation which has proven to be innaccurate time and time again no matter what sort of... -
Tickets for Brisane game?
I usually go with Lions fans and sit in the members section but it would be great to sit in the crows supporters bay this year. Could you PM me jenny on any details regarding Crows fans in Brisbane ie where is the best place watch games (Pub etc) and where to buy tickets for the upcoming game... -
Scott stevens
Well the search has been going for a while but we have found our new Douglas (Whipping Boy). This guy is going to cop it for one reason or another each time we lose. -
What a disgrace
The one thing that got to me more than anything is for all the players we drafted for flexibility Craig wasn't actually trying much when we were struggling to kick goals. Stevens or Johncock or Porplyzia forward? Jaensch off the half back line? Tippett in the Ruck? None of these were tried... -
Scott stevens
Last week he made the same costly errors but made up for them. This week he had those same errors but failed to make up for them. He is still a more than handy player but Davis has to come in for him next week. -
Market value of North's rucks
Thats just a baseless opinion by an obviously biased North Melbourne supporter. Anyone can make a statement like that its what flogs do. So you haven't watched him play in 2 months way to help your credibility. That would also mean you haven't seen Griffins good form who is also currently...- Words: 270

Market value of North's rucks
Based on what? His form, his stat averages, His proven dominance in the ruck. Please fill me in? Although he has ultimately failed up forward he has never turned heads in the ruck either. He has never had more than 20 hitouts in a game and has only averaged more than 10 hitouts a game for...- Words: 110

Market value of North's rucks
Why would we trade a very promising 19 year old KPP/Ruckman for David Hale a 26 year old ruckman who struggles to get a game at North? We have 6 ruckman developing currently (Maric, Griffin, Sellar, Mckernan, Craig, Moran) and have no need for a 26 year old plodder.- Words: 51

(comment in review) Challenge for the top four...
Hindsight is a wonderful thing i guess but in reality us (the fans), were getting irritated at Craigy coming out and stating that this year was a learning experience and we will see how the year goes (year after year). He gave us what we wanted (a prediction or a goal) and things haven't... -
Would we consider Kane Cornes?
Why pay over the odds for a guy who wouldn't add a whole lot to our side and would require a large contract to get him here in the first place.
