Crows Line Up 2004

[MaccasNeighbour]

Who would you like to see playing in Round 1 next year?

Here is my team, assuming no major trades:

B Hart Bassett Edwards
HB Goodwin McGregor Smart
C Burton Ricciuto Reilly
HF Welsh Carey Johncock
F Burns Stevens Perrie

R Clarke McLeod Stenglein

I Biglands Bode Torney Begley

E Hentschel Massie Ladhams

 

[Punchy Bassett]

Swap Massie for Torney and Ladhams for Begley

Those 4 players are all borderline. Massie and Ladhams are probably the better 2 but would depend on form and fitness.

 

[Punchy Bassett]

Massie's skills hold up a bit more under pressure than Torney's does and Ladhams has that knack of finding the goals a bit more often than Begley

I agree, I hope Ladhams can really fire this year. Was impressed in 2002 but 2003 he want backwards. We need these second tier players to lift.

Agreed but I also think that some of these players (Bode in particular) for some reason appeared to not have as much confidence in the coaches eye's that they did in 2002 which led to them losing a bit of form

very surprising to see the cows non involvement in trade week. They obviousely do not have the squad to win a flag, they dotn have high draft picks. i think they are a being a bit naive in thinking that their squad is good enough. Carey is not getting any younger, or more agile, neitehr is smart. Their midfield is awesome but their rotations are not good at all...

Shirley

Swap Reilly for Shirley

Go and worry about your own club sacking all it's B&F winners as quick as they can.

I suggest you stick to soccer, as you don't appear to much about AFL.

In that case Port have also been very naive the last 3 years.

A very astute observation, Asinine Winger, very astute.

Not much gets past you!!

Just for curiosity, who ARE the players in your squad that are getting younger??

Macca, didn't you know he has invented a time machine so they can bring back Jack Cahill, Fos Williams & Russell Ebert in their prime - guys who know how to win finals.

I rate Begley, but I just can't find a spot for him
Likewise with Parker- who should play some games next year in order for the clubs future success.
