So you are using one year, rather than a career, as evidence? I guess that explains the predictions of your supporters, of top 4 to bottom 4

You probably shouldn’t talk about predictions. Remember this beauty of yours!

As said Drewie, willing to wager Rowell won't be considered as a top 10 player in 6 or so years time?
I guess what is more entertaining is how my past (accurate ) predictions compare to your (inaccurate) predictions
We are still laughing

Potentially it could be. Get rid of the board and I'll be on board. I'm feeling long term pain.

Of course it does, I'm not talking about trading him for unders but trading him for his worth, if a player says f this I'm out, after losing your coach, cleaning out your board and multiple other players leaving, why would you want that player continuing the rot at your club?

in 2 years time, he might be literally
Logic says you would hang onto him and let him go as an RFA if you believe that will give you the best return
Unless you don't use logic

Yep .. and its a beautiful thing .. get on board marty .. chugger chugger chugger chugger .. choo choo
Gibbs was never worth 2 first rounder , Its only the crows got r*ped in that deal so n point going on about that
What i notice is that all the crows supporters go on about Brad Crouch 2019 season but totally ignore the fact he is injury prone and only managed 83 games in his 7 year career.
Best example for the crows to look at is jamie Elliot from collingwood , He has managed a fantastic year this year also and averages similar games per year to crouch. But i dont see anybody talking about a top 5-10 pick for him .......... Why ?
Due to injuries
If Brad Crouch has another year injured in 2020 good luck getting a 2nd rounder as compo and clubs wont offer him more than 500k on 2 years
To be honest, all this talk about Brad injuries - I checked out his bio and his injuries list goes on and on every year except the last year. Quite unbelievable, broken foot, a lot of hamstring issues, groin/osteo pubis. I am actually surprised he managed to play 22 games the last year. It will be interesting to see how he goes in 2020. I hope they figured out his body.
That and the fact he had arguably the worst disposal of any high possession mid this season outside of Taranto, whilst only 37% of his possessions were contested.

Bit of the pot calling the kettle black. If you'd done your own research then you'd know that BCrouch had a number of injuries stemming from an ongoing issue that was resolved by surgery last year, and since then he played a whole season with 0 issues including carrying a high workload. All parties were very confident that the surgery had sorted things for him and so far appears that way.

already disproved this garbage in this thread - go back and check the player comparisons with Cotchin, Shiel and Coniglio..next try?

Who will be better from this upcoming draft?Won’t be top 10 from this draft in 6 years time. Come back and see me then
You literally could find about 3 of the 100 good mids that have putrid disposal.
Crouch doesn’t break the line or get anywhere near the meters gained that Shiel does (from less possessions) and even then is STILL 64% to 67% DE.
I didn’t even bother replying because you could only find 3 other shit users of the ball this year to compare to and all you’re arguing is that he’s in the same class as those guys as a poor user of the ball, doesn’t even possess the same good attributes that make those guys good players outside of winning a lot of the football.
It’s a worry when you can only find 3 players out of so so so many good mids to compare to with Crouch who had his best season ever and STILL in the class with just a handful of mids this season that had notoriously bad disposal. Of those 1 is a near 30 year old who had probably his worst season and only played 13 games (Cotchin), another is notoriously bad user of the ball and not someone you’d want compare to that the only similarity is that they are both shit ball users (Shiel) and the last had his worst season by far disposal wise in Coniglio.
Any chance you could get the ball use and attributes of the other good mids in the league? Or 3 out 100 or so was all you could find and still then doesn’t even look good for him.
Again Crouch was arguably the worst ball user of any mid this season outside of Taranto and you can find 2-3 guys (who they themselves are really bad ball users) to compare to out of about 100 good mids.
You’re not going to win this argument though because I watched nearly ever game from Crouch this year and he was horrendous ball use wise. The stats back that up in every way and when the eye test and stats both show exactly what I’m saying you’re going to have a hard time convincing anyone that you have any point on the contrary.
No idea, just quoting someone that said he wouldn’t go top 10 in this draft and wouldn’t be top 10 in this draft in 6 years time.
I think he will be best from this draft but if not definitely top 3. There’s usually is a player that trumps pick 1 by the end of their career.

If Tom Green can stay healthy I honestly think he'll be the best player from this draft. I also really like the look of Caleb Serong, seems like he could be a big time/clutch player. But Anderson and Rowell are jets and can't see them not doing well at AFL level. They rightfully deserve to go pick 1 and 2.
