Crows best 22 ????

[birdmanptr]

I just got told Some charity is doing something to do with our best 22

Thought it might be a interesting exercise and create some good discussion

 

[relapse]

Here is my top 22 for the Crows in no particular order or positions and also selected on the basis that when fit are our best 22 players.

Thompson
Reilly
VB
Goody
Macca
Doughty
Bock

Porps
Dangerfield
Walker
Maric
Griffin
Knights
Johncock
Douglas
Vince
Sloane
Tippett

There's some Crows' monopoly game coming out. I think that's what you're talking about. They have to choose which player gets to be Mayfair (Ricciuto?) and who gets to be Old Kent Road (David Gallagher).

There is a list of 50 in the paper and there is a panel of 'experts' who will choose which players make the board.

Laurence Angwin would be in the jail you'd think.

Sloane in for Doughty, Hendo & Walker swap and that team = win

How the hell are we 10th?

I'd sub Sloane for McLeod, leaving Doughty in the team.

How the hell are we 10th?

Let's see...
Johncock - Has missed 6 of 17 games, 7 of 18 if you count his suspension this week.
Otten - Hasn't played a game all year.
Bock - Missed most of the season and has been MIA even when his body has turned up.
Mackay - Missed 6 of 17 games through injury.
Vince - Got a big head after winning the yellow jacket last year and didn't put in the hard yards over summer, leading to horrible form in all but 2 games this season.
Knights - Played just 3 of 17 games due to injury, and those were severely hampered by a lack of fitness.
Porps - Hasn't been fit all season, has played one half of one good game (1st half of 1st showdown) all year.
Tippett - Hampered by knee tendonitis in the early part of the season.
Thompson - Hampered by knee tendonitis in the early part of the season.

That goes some of the way towards explaining it..

Todd Vine Street?

Troy Bond Street?

Tony Hall Mall?

Lol

 

[Damp Squarie]

No love for Martin?

 

[Allefgib]

isn't it the best 22 EVER?

 

[RoosterLad]

No love for Martin?

Who would you drop for him? He has shown a bit but hasn't really had the opportunity to cement himself as a 'Best 22er' due to injury.

 

[Damp Squarie]

True RL- needs a reeeeal good pre season under his belt.
Probably Symes by midseason next year.

 

[sbenno]

No love for Martin?

The kid has played 2 games. TWO.

Hardly enough to find a place in the best 22, let alone get a decent read on how he is as a player.

Yep. We made that mistake with Ben Marsh. We all saw him kick three goals at the SCG and look a likely type then he did his knee soon after.

Couldn't wait until he was fit again and came back in to the team but when he did...
