Adelaides Future Vs Ports Future

[Young Gun #6]

Moran, Griffin, Van Berlo, T.Walker, Symes, Vince, Knights, Jericho.Tippett, Porplyzia, Sellar

vs

Pearce, Salopek, Motlop, Chaplin, Ebert, Thomson, Lower, Logan, DeLuca, Carlile, Cockshell, S.Brugoyne, Boak, Gray, Rodan, Thomas and Westhoff.

Easily Ports imo.

 

[Vince Van Mackay]

So you've just randomly picked players, and missed a whole lot as well.

You're an idiot.

 

[Campbell's Chunky]

lol.

your only missing dangerfield, mackay, otten, kite, petrenko, maric, griffin, jacky, cook, armstrong etc etc

and lobbe, westhoff (the 2nd) and farmer and probably others i missed from port.

My opinion is that once the Crows current crop of young guys starts to mature, their older guys will be gone, so they will lose a hell of a lot of experience and that will hurt them.

They majorly lack players between the ages of about 24 and 28 due to the Ayers years as many Crows supporters have pointed out to me. When Goodwin, Edwards, McLeod and Burton leave, we will see how they handle the loss of experience.

They certainly have some talented youngsters, I prefer ours, and our list balance personally, but I may be biased.

Jericho is NOT part of our future.

At the same time, you'll lose the Burgers and Cornes, the treadrea.

Then there is your ruck, Lade is at the end and Brogan is right behind him.

Is this is a joke?

LOL you clown, Jericho is gone, Brugoyne is a lil old for this list isnt he?

You missed a bunch of players for BOTH lists.

Come back with more info

 

[Salopek31]

Port easily.

Knights will be a gun player, Vince, Maric & VB are decent enough, the rest are either ordinary or players who are unknown quantities as they haven't shown much at AFL level to date.

Port's under 23 brigade includes:

Forwards - J.Westhoff, Gray
Defenders - Lower, Carlile, Chaplin, Pettigrew, Surjan
Midfielders - Salopek, Boak, Pearce

These 10 have all but proven that they will be able to hold down spots in an AFL side for the next 8-10 years. Then there are guys like Thomson, Thomas, Krakouer, etc who look likely types and a whole stack of others such as Farmer, M.Motlop, Lobbe who are unknown quantities at this stage.

Port's only weakness is lack of young ruckman and we could also do with a key forward or two, but overall the side is looking good for the future.

 

[Rascally]

lol @ the poll starter. Isnt it about time you changed you team to Port? 979 posts, 4 in the Bulldogs board...

 

[xamol]

Beautifully pwnt Rasc

The boldest ones haven't shown they can hold down spots for 8-10 years. As you know I like Lower but he's played less than 10 games. Pettigrew is rubbish and wouldn't make any other defence in the league. Surjan was playing for Port Magpies less than a month ago...

Meanwhile Gray looks good but he is very injury prone.

 

[Top_4_Tiger]

Is this is a joke?

I was thinking the same thing.

What futures?

 

[Crows4Flag]

I was thinking the same thing.

What futures?

I think its quite good since we dont get a top 4 pick every year

 

[Drummond]

This thread is such a joke, seriously. Not only have you named some of our worst prospects but you have named 11 Crows players but 17 Port players.

And our best 11 would be: Dangerfield, Walker, Knights, van Berlo, Maric, Kite, Petrenko, Vince, Tippett, Otten and Mackay.

Many might not know who a few of those are, but they will be quality.

Then there is your ruck, Lade is at the end and Brogan is right behind him.

I'd say your brigade of 30+ guys is a lot more important to your side than ours is. Goodwin Edwards, McLeod and Burton vs P.Burgoyne and Lade. If you wanted you could add Tredrea to that list, but he's a couple of years younger than all of those guys.

The ruck is the biggest issue for us. Shaun Burgoyne and Kane Cornes are only 25. Both have 8 years left or so. Chad has probably 5 seasons in him assuming they all retire around 33.

McLeod, Edwards and Goodwin are all over 30. Our only regular 30+ year olds are Lade and P. Burgoyne, hardly integral to our side this year. A lot of Port supporters would argue that Peter has been a liability down back. Those 3 guys get the taggers for you, which allows guys like Knights and Van Berlo to run free at the moment.

The ruck is our biggest issue at the moment looking toward the future, definitely. Hopefully that will be sorted out with this draft.

 

[azza_24]

Essendon's Future >>> All other teams future combined.

 

[fryingpan]

LOL the OP not only named S.Burgoyne as a "young gun" but also named Cockshell

Cockshell! hahahahaha!!

 

[Hellgood]

Hope your being sarcastic mate.


Essendon do have some good young players, but thats just a stupid comment, Hope I haven't made myself look like a fool here if he was being sarcastic

So lets argue the list you gave us...

Walker = 0 games
Dangerfield = 0 games
Kite = 0 games
Otten = 0 games (i think)
Petrenko = 0 games

Wow, odds are half won't be there in 2 years...

If only you added Sellar your credibility would be shot to pieces hehe

 

[Powerade 08]

Well if you take out all the votes from Port and Adelaide supporters, its about 11 - 6 Ports way. But keep voting to show how good you are Crowies!

Another youngsters vs youngsters thread, of course the precious Crowies did not want to argue with the OP in this one.

This poll is about as valid as the Zimbabwean Elections

LOL at all the insecure Crows supporters flooding this poll with their bogus votes
