Pretty sure there's another reason Tanner ain't playing mate.
I knew this would be brought up .....but go back to his 2024, and he was still struggling, and was regularly subbed out when played
 
Opinions on Clubs change weekly .....last week, GEEL were seen as perfectly set-up, with a brilliant Coach

Day after .....and the Coach supposedly got pantsed in the Coaching Box, and they suddenly have gaps in their list

It does reinforce the fact .....teams are never as good, nor as bad, as it seems .....and so that also applies to the Crows

So we’re not as good as we seem?

You're looking at things through the red mist of emotion.

Once you have the power to analyse things without emotional influence only then will you be as enlightened as old mate.

It isn't until you reach that level of enlightenment that you will be able to see that Nicks is the next Norm Smith.

Fagan said in his press conference after the Grand Final that he likes to back young players in, and tells them to use their weapons to play to their strengths.

The Brisbane Grand Final team had

Sam Marshall 19
Ty Gallop 19
Levi Ashcroft 19
Logan Morris 20
Darcy Willmott 21
Jaspa Fletcher 21
Will Ashcroft 21
Kai Lohmann 22

We'd have to get a defib for Nicks if we wanted to field 8 22 and under with instructions to play to their strengths
 
I'm looking at the evidence. The evidence clearly shows the top mids play AFL from the start.

Yeah sure they might be played at half back or whatever. That's better than in the reserves. The best clubs find a role to develop stars in the AFL and to get them to flourish that way
What you say makes a lot of sense, but it's not true of everyone.

Gary Ablett Jr, Steele Sidebottom, Dane Zorko, Max Holmes, Zac Bailey, Dan Curtin all had slower starts, but turned out fine.

Draper came in with issues with his body. We knew it would take time.

It's not time to panic.
 
Hopefully we can become a team like Brisbane and engage a coaching philosophy like Fagans and get our kids to play to their strengths and use their weapons.
We need a new coach for that to ever be a reality.

He was raw, but hunted the ball. It was only when Godden got hold of him and made him worry more about his opponent than the ball that he turned to shit in the middle
Nah jones couldn’t draw you a footy until 2023 except for 1 game vs the doggies.
Was hopeless from the start.

I mean that's just not right, his first season was a decent, if not spectacular start - better than his second season in just about every measure.

Spectacular? Now I’ve heard it all 😂
Sure his first was better than his second but that doesn’t say much at all.
Murphy has a better player rating than jones , better average and better yearly rating than chayces first year in all but 2 years.

Sorry, I worded that strangely - I meant decent (but not spectacular).

Chayce Jones is not a hill Im willing to die on.

The memory of Jones first year I think is clouded by the optimism and excitement that he was selected in the superdraft so he must be good.

In reality his best game was his last game that year where he had 18 touches.

Could he have been good with better development? Possibly, but he also seems to be missing the ability which includes ball winning and smarts.

**** we blew some picks that would be crucial to our chances now, we are craving 2 A grade mids, give us Butters and Serong/Young and we would be serious contenders.

We'd have played Butters in a forward pocket and he'd be playing for Geelong by now.
