Anyone in the original Crows squad should be much much higher in the list. We had the best of the best SA had to offer in that side. Genuine star players of the Sanfl at that time which was by far a better competition than it is today. They are better than the 18yo draftees who do nothing. I get the generational divide between those who watched the club from day one like myself and those who picked it up in the decades since. But gee, guys like Grant Fielke was a genuine gun in the early days. Also McDermott is too low. Like below Brodie Smith??? how much disrespect can you have to a State of Origin Captain. A guy who captained the very best State of Origin side SA ever had. He was not a mug on the footy field and his career and impact on the Crows was above Brodie Smith. Simon Tregenza is another way too low.

Appreciate your thoughts but this exercise is two fold. We need to look at player ability and output as a Crow. I placed Fielke and it was difficult to do.
I don’t think the latter part was significant for him

I know everyone have different opinions. But if people went back and watched highlights of the Crows in the early days, some players would stand out as better than people thought.

You need to read the OP:
“You need to add a Crows player to this thread and plug them in where you rate them in terms of playing ability and output as a Crow.”
If anything, some squad members have been massively overrated against the criteria. Eg Tom Warhurst played twice as crow but is above a bunch of long serving good players.

I’m sure I’m not the only one that’s never heard of Tom.
Started following in about 95 I think.

A Norwood great. Dual Premiership winner in 1982 and 1984. 3 time State player. Played on Dermie and destroyed him in the crows first ever game.. Unfortunately it was late in his career and a knee recon at the end of the year pushed him into retirement.

I feel I’m pretty familiar with most names, his was just not one I’d come across before.

Yeah when we do the re-ranking, Tom Warhurst played his 2nd game against Carlton, got touched up by Dorotich and Kernaham and never played again. Yet we have him listed above Tippett and Tregenza.
That is where the Contribution to the Crows becomes relevant
So many “talented” players in other AFL levels or clubs but what did they add to us . I’ve picked a couple that I had difficulty with
Warhurst ended his career with us I think
He was a great defender for my club Norwood. But that’s not AFC
I found this earlier today and a bit of a laugh I think it was from our website
His first game with us

If we’re doing more than just their input at the Crows, then Wayne Carey goes on top. But I put him in where I think he belongs on Crows performances only.

Drugs Are Bad Mackay? Has given us instructions so we need to follow this
I am very sure if there was a “talent only” list of ratings then it would look a bit different

I see two parts to this thread, one is doing what should be done - adding in a player to the list ... the second is what I'm gonna do and that is mention that one of my favourite Crows players is in the wrong spot. Brett James. Super skilled, tough as nails. I will now retreat back to the cheap seats.
