Adelaide's Best ever lineup

[Golumless]

That is the cancer word at our Club, never ever to be in any team of the year or decade or century.

Maybe we could have a thread one day of the best lineup and administration that screwed the AFC, Tippett is Captain/Coach, closely followed by Trigg.

who is our allstar, duel brownlow winning ablett like midfielder.

Its best team, not best club men.

Brett Burton is feeling a little sad...

 

[Wright Away]

Brett Burton is feeling a little sad...

Brett Burton has no place anywhere near a Crows 'best ever line up'.

Maybe best ever at getting in the way of other forwards in a final.

Or best ever at taking a great mark then kicking a behind.

Or best ever at doing a backflip after taking a mark.

Sad that he had a short memory?

not a fan of Brett?

 

[Slippery Pete]

Great looking team - I wouldn't make many changes at all!
.

How's the opening bounce centre square - Rehn, Roo, Danger, McLeod.

Fair statement....

Geez that a phenomal centre bounce unit. Which team made from any clubs players since our inception goes close to that?

Plenty of mid groups (brisbane/geelong) that would challenge - but do they have the quality of ruck to go with it?

How about the rotations.... Edwards, Goodwin, Thompson, D. Jarman if you don't mind....

Cox, Cousins, Judd and Kerr might give it a nudge.

You'd have a good look at Corey McKernan and North Melbourne's mids too.

I'd still take Rehn.

Wce probably push it for sure

 

[big78sam]

Hart Rutten Jameson.
Smart Bock Mcleod.
Anderson A Jarman Goodwin.
Bond Carey Ricciutto.
Walker Modra Vardy.

Rehn, Mcdermott D Jarman.

Hall, Pittman, Mcguiness, Caven.

No Dangerfield? And IMHO Carey shouldn't be there, he did nothing of note for the Crows. If you are going to include performances of Crows listed players when they were at other clubs you might as well include Betts.

Betts is a third rate Carlton forward. Carlton have no forwards

This is a side, off the top of my head, that with every player in form, would be as balanced and all encompassing as possible. I added Walker not because of his KPP status, but because of his creativity.I added Carey because I followed this league carefully when he was dominating, there is no better footballer, ever. Perhaps Modra at his finest?

I did forget about Dangerfield though, there's also an argument for the current number 5 Guernsey.

 

[Freddy Bassett]

Bock has to play before Caven...

 

[Vikingblood]

Bock has to play before Caven...

Everyone has their opinion, but I think a number of people forget just how good Caven was. Came to us as a nothing player and only famous for having his face smashed by Lockett. Became a key playmaker alongside Smart/Hart and set up so many of our forward moves. Blanketed Carey in the 98 GF and basically was responsible for giving us a shot at remaining in the game, along with Hart. I have not seen a better defensive shutdown on a key forward in a big game.
Everywhere Carey went, Caven was right on him edging him under the ball or forcing him wide to get possessions. Wouldn't get away with it under today's umpiring, but was as pure man on man contest you could wish to see.

 

[Slippery Pete]

Finals footy champ.

Deeds performed in finals count triple. Deeds performed in grand finals - well, name your price.

Caven was a much smarter footballer than Bock.

 

[Allefgib]

How do you rate Pittman on Lowe, Pete?

 

[weekend at bernies]

Whats with everyone picking Walker?? surely he has not done enough yet.. in another couple years then maybe, but has not done enough yet IMO.

Matty Robran

 

[Slippery Pete]

Highly.

Kane Johnson was immense in both of those finals series' too. Unlucky to miss my team. I agonised over him or Thompson.
