17 Years

[Niximus]

On 22 March it was 17 years since Adelaide played their first AFL game.

When do you think we will have our first player who wasn't even born then?

If we draft someone this year who was born after 22 March 1991, obviously it will be them

And we have loved our bottom agers recently.

So I'd say next year.

Seeing blokes running around out there that are younger than me is kinda weird, having grown up watching all these guys who were born in the 60's/70's. Now there are guys out there born in the 90's!!!! Makes me feel old!

One of my favourite players, VB, is only about 3 weeks older than me from memory!

I played my 1st game of club football in 1958, and you reckon you feel old? A lot of the parents of the blokes playing weren't born then (for Power players make that grandparents).

I've seen most of the games the Crows have played in their 17 year history, either live, on telly or on replay. But being at the ground on Sunday to see that win was a great privilege.

Great photos CC. I hope you can back up with more in future.

Slightly off topic, but Ben Hart's departure was a sad day for me. He was the last Crows player who was older than me.

Was just going through some of my old threads and realised that this player has now occurred.

Riley, Kerridge, Brown and Crouch have all played games and are younger than the club. Riley at round 19 2011 played his first game before these others. I haven't looked too extensively though, so he may not be the player.

Add Talia, Shaw, Smith & Lyons to that list who have played that were born after the Rnd 1 Hawthorn game... Lewis Johnston with special mention being born a whole 3 weeks before Round 1 -

Smith at Round 1 2011 played before any of the others. It could be him.

I think the honour has been taken away from him!
