His kicking didn't improve a lick over the year with us in the SANFL. Was his one big weakness + we also got Seedsman and Hampton in too to fill the same sort of role.
Ooooooooozzzes the X factor and looks a shit tonne better at positioning himself. Kicked well tonight.

That's just such a negative comment from someone who can't see any good in any Crows player ......why exactly do you follow the Crows ....no other team will accept you ? ;)
Its called knowing fact from fiction.
Betts is the best small forward in the game. Sauce is top 3 ruck in the game. Rory Laird is one of the best small defenders. Weitering is going to be special and will be a top 2 defender in the game and one of the best No.1 draft picks in a long time.
If you call that not being a supporter then I call you a blue rinse kool aid drinker. ;)

Thanks for Wright guys... get a little one back after Sauce and Betts.
In comparison to those two, it's like us giving you a Datsun for 5 Ferrari's and a multi million dollar yacht. Wright is a solid player, and will be good for you guys, but he doesn't have star power and would have barely played if we retained him here.

not sure how many times we had a multiple goal kicker last year...
Wright was a whipping boy here and for good reason (as a player) so you won't get many congrats. Kerridge on the other hand looks great and we're all happy for him! Made a couple of bad errors late but I wouldn't worry as he looks at to be a quality mid for you guys.

Edit: I think most here liked Wright as an honest battler /good bloke so we're also happy if he gets a regular gig.

Certainly never had anything against Wright (i've never had anything personally against anyone I've criticized though) and he's overcome a lot of adversity to even be playing footy. I'm happy for him for sure.

Menadue looked really good tonight. Gonna be one of those ones I'll watch closely as I wanted him bad. I guess we have Seed now, but Menadue looks impressive.

That kick from Kerridge in the last quarter that resulted in the goal that sealed the game.... just epitomises his career. No doubt can kick an absolute daisy cutter and has good technique, but he's always either overshooting it or dropping it short. Does a lot of other things well, but I'll take my chances with Menzel everyday of the week thanks.

Only issue with Menzel is his work rate. but guessing he'll go alright in a decent team.
