2nds Crows vs Port Adelaide - Round 15 @ Adelaide Oval

[philreich]

What the * is our club doing? Can’t develop rucks, can’t develop forwards.
Richardson has rotten egg on his face after his 3 Flags in 5 years bullshit.

To be fair, we'll only finish 3 flags short of the target.

I keep asking myself, Is Adelaide's list that much stronger than ours? If so, how have they shot ahead in a couple of seasons? I also ask is their list better or are they coached better than we are?

Under Hinkley we have an abysmal record at developing tall players and appear to want to clog our list with mid season draft picks who are going nowhere, Sutcliffe, Teakle, Dumont, Pasini and McEntee are not up to or never were up to AFL standard and despite his 4 goals against the Crows the jury is still out on Francis Evans. In addition players like Jonas, Fantasia, Boak, Dixon, McKenzie and Lycett are near the end or at the end of their careers.

That is 12 players from a list of 43 who could or should drop off our list over the next two years. That is almost 30% of our current list.
