Worrell was pretty good in the bits I watched.

1st Quarter:
AFC 2G 1B : 13
CDC 5G 2B : 32

FOG, Parnell, Worrell all looking good. General positioning out of sorts by the Crows - always seem to be the wrong side of their opponents. Bit of aggression shown by McAsey which was good to see. Pedlar has a nice burst speed which he is not afraid to use. Nank is going to be special. Thilthorpe is too good for this level.

Had to laugh when the commentators are waxing on about how good the umpires were to reward head high contact to a Centrals player, who was taken out by his own teammate's elbow ....

Thilthorpe had a single bad game against Fremantle and was banished to the Sanfl. Ok, I get it, they wanted him to work on something. But...you dont let your best recruit languish in the twos. I get making guys like Pedlar, Milera, Fogarty etc perform to be selected. But having your most influential draftee sitting in the reserves week after week when he needs development at AFL level is downright pathetic. Thats when injuries happen and guess what happened. The Crows development of Thilthorpe needs a massive spray because frankly he should have been selected two weeks ago. What were they waiting for? You dont want your best and brightest getting injured in the Sanfl. Thilthorpe should have only gone back for two games max. Should have been straight back in after the Essendon game. If he is out not for most of the year, the Crows development yet again should be called into question. What a waste of time now as he gets no development. If he is able to play next week the Crows should thank their lucky stars and almost bring him straight back in. Unbelievably daft development from the club.

You've drawn a long bow there.

He was just as likely to get hurt playing at AFL level.

Won't play next week

The only important thing at this point is that Thilthorpe continually develops and improves.

That doesn't just happen by playing AFL games. You CAN develop in the SANFL - it's probably better for a lot of kids to spend time there, because they'll get their hands on the ball more often and get better reps in.

Its the point. Getting injured at AFL level is better than Sanfl level. At least he is getting the development. I dont see why sending a proven Sanfl star in Thilthorpe back to the Sanfl is developing him for AFL. Our selection committee really ****ed up on this one. Sanfl development exists for players who who aren't ready for AFL. Thilthorpe proved he was last year. One bad game and dropped I could cope with, but letting him languish there for four weeks was dumb and now its backfired. There was no reason as to not select him against Richmond. Its not drawing a long bow to suggest that he shouldnt have even been there.

But he is already proven. he can only do so much with guys who arent AFL ready. Its not the same and he should have been exposed to AFL again weeks ago.

The injury could have happened anywhere. He's 19 so there is no rush.
