Nothing wrong with that is there? Are you guys immune for the rest of the season? We also applauded Scott Thompson roundly when he was awarded the medal. Just doesn't add up that Tex was targeted individually for booing.

Firstly, I come here in peace. Well done on your win, richly deserved and I could actually see it coming after the emotional release of last week. Wanted it more tonight. On the supposed booing of Walker, there has been a lot said that the umpires were being booed off the ground at the time. I...

So what you're saying is, if the tables were turned that the would have AFL implemented the MCG PF rule as it was established, with all parties fully aware of it going to the season and Port being given the 5 day break. But didn't they want to gift us a premiership? Get your story straight.

Gee Huddo, I think the team whose players perform better on the night will be in the box seat for this one.

You guys cleaned up. Very disappointed that we overlooked Battersby

He clearly meant it as to say he would play for anyone. Anyway, he's a interesting case this guy. I don't rate him, but he's had a couple of belting performances (Carlton last year) that could make some clubs think they can extract that out of him regularly. I don't think he'd add to much to...

No doubt. I'm sure you've put some enticing, illegal contract provisions in front of them.

To be fair, the Crows should get the first game at Adelaide Oval next year - an excellent opportunity to showcase your third round draft pick.

10 years previous that pick would have been at the top of the first round, and we'd have a Stephen Coniglio running around with Wingard and Wines. The likes of Hawthorn, St Kilda, Carlton, Collingwoid who are now (or were) regarded as "good/stable/big" clubs filled their boots under the previous...

There is some truth to that, but he pretty much had the same level of exposure before the season, when we were 0-0. I think there's a fair bit to do with national platform.

It's a bit of luck more than anything (ie securing Kochie as president and this getting mainstream media attention). He has the kind of clout to get these interviews. Keith Thomas was doing a similarly good job before Koch came along, but that was only really seen internally; Koch has the...

Cox the only player with more than one entry in the top 10, and even then it's only 1.5. I find it strange/improbable that the very best 3 or 4 players didn't comprise most of the list, unless that was a constraint placed on this list?

I wouldn't trust anyone who had the opportunity to shorten their name to Steve but didn't. That's a cool name.

Team was an absolute joke. No credibility. Getting this kind of thing right matters, as people look at the CV when rating players, 'what should have happened' fades into nothing.

Disgraceful stitch up job by various media outlets already trying to create a narrative that will lead to Thompson getting suspended. There is no way, no how, that a suspension could be justified for this incident. The Sunday Footy Show raised the Ziebell 'precedent'. He was very harshly...

Re: DREAM TEAM/SUPERCOACH - Please post ALL queries regarding Dream Team/Supercoach/Player Injuries Porpoise looked good enough to put back into DT?

Sounds like some bullshit his girlfriend must have made up to talk him into coming back, and he's just hit 'Forward'.

That escape clause thing must be BS, sounds like Chinese whispers to me. The person who suggested Redden + Polec earlier in the thread - my first reaction was no freakin' way! - but it's probably not too far off the mark. I don't know if there have ever been any 2 players for 1 player trades...

I think that we are perhaps 18 months ahead of you in the cycle, having got rid of our love/hate incumbent who was in career saving mode for most of his post-2004 coaching tenure. Certainly have enough spread of talent in all the right areas that a new coach could turn things around very...

Feel for you guys, deserved better. You've had to listen to the commentators licking their lips (amongst other things) too.

Paddling the school canoe, that's a tackle...

Yeah, Rucci shot himself in the foot by claiming that production counted (i.e. "quality over quantity") and then rating Nick Riewoldt (on reputation) over Jack Riewoldt, Robbie Gray in the top 50 (potential, not production) and Michael Barlow 50th (extreme quality in 2010!??!?!). But then...

Re: Dangerfield - rotator cuff? That looked bloody terrible, fingers crossed its not a bad injury and long-term layoff.

Do Glen Dawson and Phil Davis have the combined weight of Glen Davis?

Well done on a great career. Have always had massive respect for Bassett. Left it all out on the park.

No case to answer for Brogan, Pettigrew and Thomas. Let's see a one-line quip to that, Crow-mo/ducky :p :D :thumbsu:

The post of a true connosieur.

Oh noes, I've been undone by your slick one-post style + smilie style. Whatever will I do. I've said enough, we'll see what occurs in the wash-up. :D :thumbsu:

Lawl. No one would bat an eyelid if either incident took place in amateur footy.

I think you'd know a bit about departing from precedent, and these were clearly apples and oranges. FWIW I'm surprised that Pettigrew hasn't copped as much stick as Brogan. Perhaps the scoreboard was looking a bit more favourable for you guys at the time.
