Competitions Best ever Crows players - FINAL - A. McLeod vs M. Ricciuto - Mea Culpa for ruining our season with the delay :(

The more salient question is why isn’t Klug pronounced the same way as plug?

The way it’s pronounced it should be spelled Kloog.

Bloke doesn’t even know how to pronounce his own name. I aint votin’ for that. Samcro24

No, no I do say Klug as in plug.

Yep. Exactly like ploog

Wellman gets extra credit for showing enough in his short time that we were able to trade him for D. Jarman, indirectly resulting in our two joyful moments littered amongst 33 years of heartache.

 

[El Doederino]

But Wellman had a really good career... not with us.

So... how do we rank that?

We ignore his career away from the crows

Otherwise, Wayne Carey wins this

Or at the very least, he should have those 2 dots above the u.

Going for a democratic, player vs player knock out to decide the best Adelaide Football Club Players in history.

Starting with the top 32 picks from Drugs Are Bad Mackay? 's epic "rank all players" thread, I'm going to do a series of head to head eliminations.

Andrew McLeod
Mark Ricciuto
Darren Jarman
Tony Modra
Shaun Rehn
Ben Hart
Nigel Smart
Kane Johnson
Taylor Walker
Patrick Dangerfield
Scott Thompson
Eddie Betts
Matthew Crouch
Mark Stevens
Tyson Edwards
Ben Rutten
Mark Bickley
Daniel Talia
Tony McGuinness
Andrew Jarman
Rory Sloane
Simon Goodwin
Graham Johncock
Rory Laird
Brodie Smith
Sean Wellman
Chris McDermott
Matthew Liptak
Greg Anderson
Rod Jameson
Peter Caven
David Pittman

ARE THERE ANY NOTABLE ABSENTEES WHO SHOULD BE IN THE RUNNING

It’s interesting. Matthew Connell won a gold jacket one year if I recall. Surely all best and fairest should be automatically added until eliminated.

So... how do we rank that?

So Carey is no.1?

 

[Slippery Pete]

So Carey is no.1?

At several things

Well, actually if we want to get really esoteric about it, didn't Brad Moran start a tech company and sell it for like $10m?

Tony Armstrong is doing really well in the media too.

Vardy progresses

Peter Vardy

Vs

Matthew Liptak

[dogs105]

Could we please go to Vardy vs Liptak Scorpus, Drugs Are Bad Mackay? , CrowinNT, brucetiki?

 

[dogs105]

Personally, finding this one a very tough decision. Liptak was slow to get started, but was supreme in 1996.

Nothing tough about this one.

Vardy was the vastly superior player.

Vardy. Very good player.

Exactly. Not even close

 

[crows dude]

Im voting Lippa for his early years 1993 was extemely important in the Finals and the Collingwood game to get us there. Then had a couple of years cruelled by injury. 1996 came in as a midfielder and was our best player in a crap year. 1997-98 again injuries.

Vardy 1997 and 98 very good but pretty much it.

Vardy 1997 and 98 very good but pretty much it.

So based on your own logic, you’re going for a guy who had two good years and no contribution to premierships versus a guy who had two good years and significant contribution to premierships.

Sounds legit.

Now if you'd asked me who the better Orthopedic surgeon was....

I'm sure Liptak won't lose much sleep over this poll.
