I am certainly not sold on Nicks as a coach, as although seems to have players backing and a fighting spirit in team .
But clearly he is out of his depth with team structures and systems that create spaces to run into and lead into etc,
However he has little support with the bargain basement...
I cringe every time someone calls McHenry a specialist sub and performs well at it .
He comes in and runs around like a headless chook and in 1 game did ok as and posters keep quoting as .
He is a no talent midget that gives away frees ,possession when he can get near ball.
We have talent like...
I just wanted to cover the retirement of Angus Brayshaw and how devastating that not only that decision had to be made, but the terrible incident that put a end to his career with so much ahead for him as a AFL player.
Whether you think the incident was a unfortunate accident or Maynard...
Obviously the previous post was in jest just to emphasis how good and valuable THE BIG MAN REPORTS have been .
Not does someone makes the effort to go to training, but the information provided makes any club training releases look pitiful.
Thanks mate you are a Big Man in our eyes.
Well come on to get the latest on training to find petty discussion on Lairds rating as a player along with some intense insult throwing
that would make Sanders proud but of absolutely no value.
Well we give the man a topic title and firstly doesn't bother to drive to Port Lincoln and back to...
Ok kept Sloane for experience and apparently need to keep McHenry for enthusiasm and morale .
Tex has got both so lets give him a 5 year contract and we get both .
Sarcasm YES
But in 5 years Tex might offer more to our team to win games than Sloane and Ned will this year.
Spot on Scorpus although not even close to Bicks and Wall-E with any sort of knowledge I and others just could not see any reason why Ned would get in top 50 let alone at 19 .
And certainly many of us posted after draft night those thoughts.
Even his write ups only talked about his work load...
Why the hell would we agree to that deal just defies logic .
Lose a player lose ground .
Understand they might have players in mind ,but you don't give players away to go backwards in draft..
Notice press still showing the likelihood of Prowse and Gould leaving .
Surely the Crows would be doing anything to keep these two ,who are our future, as both can only can improve after last season growth.
This would not only put us down with the never was and newbie teams next season and...
Hey I agree was much as wanted to get a talented young ruckman which there was plenty ,but I have never been more excited by a draftee as I am with Curtin .
I see him becoming our version of the Bont., maybe a fwd mid not a mid fwd like he is.
Not sure any criticism I have of him is not going to make him lose any sleep.
But from appearances on TV, it doesn't look like lost any self esteem .
I guess when it all added up I just want kids with real talent to get opportunities .
Ok I will bite .
Watching Bickleys interviews which were very good ,with players training in background with all their skills but who was first whilst watching fumble and run past the ball .
Yep probably our smallest play McHenry.
Sorry CDC60 but he isn't going to get any better.
Well after watching that highlight post showing all aspects of Curtins ability in numerous competitions has got me even more excited about this pick.
Comparing his highlights to Rachelles etc makes them look like 2 nd round prospects.
I am hoping we can use him up forward on occasions...
Think we did well in draft though not sold with my very limited knowledge on Ryan but wished we had not promised Borlase especially now strengthen backlines and therefore could get a ruckman or forward like Callinan etc left in rookie draft .
Just wanted to make some points regarding giving Sloane 1 more year .
We could have sent him off at last home game as a champion of the club .
Can anyone seeing him getting picked every week so apart from where club tag as resting him I wonder how he and club will handle him being dropped to...
Guess a question worth pondering would we have taken Goad if wasn't taken pick before .
Another question is there any chance we wouldn't honour promise to take Borlase and Hamill now back loaded to grab a ruck ,forward or another Hamish special.
Thank you Bicks and JeffCrowe for your feedback .
The more I read and get more and more information re this draft in our selection bracket it seems more likely that we won't use 14 or 20 with players available but either move up or more likely to get a deal by getting a future pick and a mid to...
Just seems strange decision in a year of so many quality young rucks available of real potential ,even if did a trade for future pick plus late pick for our 20 we could still get someone of value .
If info correct what would we draft a KPD ( which after O'Sullivan not over exciting} a mid and...
Just wondered if Windsor and De Mattia do go before our 2 nd pick then who do you think will be the sliders and how much interest would we possible have in them.
Also wondered if OSullivan goes before our pick as expected then what KPP would we look at that would be available .
After reading AFL article I even more want Goad with our 3 rd pick with Club getting off their bums and delist one of going nowhere players to keep current picks .
Just can't believe why having one of the best collection of high picks ever why haven't already cleared enough spots to do so.
Take it easy Vader some of enjoyed our growing up on EP, as I did in a great beachside EP country town .
Though I will admit Port Pirie to Whyalla area hasn't got much better over the years.
With so many going nowhere AFL players still on list .like McHenry ,Sholl and Hamill why aren't we delisting one of them to possibly take in rookie draft .
Having 3 top picks in draft where we can claim a quality mid , KPD and ruck, it defies logic why club struggling to make tough calls like...
A very very lucky win and Clarke should be relieved and hopefully when reviews game sees how they created free players so often.
Regarding Hatchard I asked weeks ago what has happened to her .cant mark anymore or break free just nothing handballs or kicks .
Thank heaven for Kelly what a...
