I’m curios to how many SANFL teams the Crows have access to their father & sons, and what ruling permitted them to have Norwood as there’s?

It’s been that way from the start, sons of SANFL 200 (League) Gamers are eligible for,

Adelaide: Norwood, Glenelg, South Adelaide, Sturt

Port: Port, Centrals, W/WT, West Adelaide, North Adelaide
 
I believe the AFL have extended some of the rules regarding SANFL players games so as not to discriminate against people who had children later in life like Jim Michalanney

After the Bryce Gibbs fiasco they tweaked a couple of the existing criteria involving time limits (which retrospectively made the Cornes kids ‘eligible’ for Adelaide, and Cale and Jarryd Morton ineligible for WCE where Mitch previously had been); but the 200 SANFL league games criteria remained the same.

I just want to see a definitive ‘AFL Tables’-style season by season log.

Instead all I’ve seen is Crows fans saying “yep, he is, so”.
 
I couldn't care less tbh the father/son eligibility should be the same as VFL requirements pre whatever date, so I don't mind the Crows sneaking a 'dodgy' one in.

Sure, but the lack of definitive transparency is a joke. Like free agency compo, we’ve just got to accept it from the same organisation that brought you “ahhhh, a junior staffer ticked off on the SA guernsey sorry lol”.

I predict that the recruiting staff will choose "all the wrong" players, we will all explode in disagreement and then 6 months later we will agree with their choices.
I've had a few initial reactions over the years where, if I'd made them public, would have made me look pretty silly.

'Georgiades? WTF!!! Sack everybody!!' etc.

Ok so I see.
The Crows got access to the power house SANFL clubs of the 70’s 80’s and early 90’s and we got the slops.
 
So what your saying is it hasn’t been as successful as it has for Victorian teams.
Would that be because of the way it was set up or was the kids from SA at that time just weren’t good enough?


Maybe the latter actually - I can't think of too many players that missed out on FS eligibility: Gibbs and Borlase a couple; not sure what the story was with the Robran boys, neither were taken by the Crows as FS; Steve Pavlich only played 125 games for Torrens, but both us and Crows overlooked Matthew!
 
Actually zero players became eligible for either clubs from that access to sanfl father sons farce (until Michealnanny if he is indeed eligible)

The only players we have had access to have been sons of players from our time in the afl.

The crows only have themselves to blame. Port would have just taken the access to 100 game magpie father sons in line with vic clubs but there was never any way the sanfl and crows were going to allow us to have that while they couldn’t and they were peddling the line we weren’t port Adelaide to the mouth breathers.

The Crows rather seeing us miss out on something then them get something is part of the reason why they haven't won a flag this millennium. Whether it's accepting deals from the SANFL and then SMA, because we got worse ones, rather than fighting with us for better holds them back. The same with getting the AFL to recognise Melbourne is, in fact, not the centre of the universe and that holds them back. The obsessive need to look better than us in the SA media, regardless of facts breeds a culture of only needing to beat us / better us to be a success and that holds them back (though the 3 K's have started us down that idiot path amongst happy clappers).

This time they have Lewis Hayes going higher, to GWS.
Either way, it seems he will be gone by Pick 20.

I reckon that leaves us with either Ethan Phillips or James Van Es.
I wonder if we could get both; Phillips is around about our pick 33/36 and Van ES could be in the 50's.

Phillips
196cms 94kg is a 23-year-old who was selected as full back in this year’s VFL Team-of-the Year.
Where he won the Fothergill/Round/Mitchell Medal as the competition’s most promising player.
Phillips plays for Port Melbourne; his surname is simonise with Port and may be an omen.

James Van Es is from North Ballarat, 197cms & 99kg was this year’s Vic Country full-back.
Solid for Victoria Country in all four matches at the National Championship and a real standout athletically at the 2022 NAB AFL Draft Combine.
His running vertical jump of 98cm was the best result at the National Combine, while his 2.91 seconds in the 20m sprint ranked fourth.

We have 3 picks according to one of our posters? It's been suggested that was after taking Evans as a DFA and re-rookieing Williams. Apparently one of the 3 picks will be used in the rookie draft?

Maybe on the night we could trade picks 60 and 84 with a club that finished higher on the ladder than us, plus each swap our future 3rd's or 4th's to give them a (potent) higher 2023 late pick than they would have had, and then get them to give us a pick maybe in the early 40's this year, to give ourselves a better chance of getting who we want with what would have been our pick 60 this year?

Pick 84 disappears and thus becomes hypothetically 102 - but if we are using our last pick in the RD then what does it matter?

Pick 84 has no trade value, we are only taking two picks; 33 & 60.
Therefore, we should not down grade our Pick 33 (with F/S etc. it will become pick 36/37).

After our first pick, if there is still someone like Van Es around the mark, I am sure our draft gurus would have plan.
For example, trade in say, Picks 45 from the Gold Coas.
