With Port struggling and blooding youth i thought it was interesting to compare our youth and form against there's.
PORT:
Elihjah Ware: According to mark williams has the talent to make the grade but coming back from a knee-reco has slowed him down, but it starting to show a bit at central again.
Ryan Willits: Big Bodied Forward from victoria, has been playing CHB for glenel and has cemented a spot, but for a club blooding youth i dont think he will make the grade this year.
Adam Thomson: Probably port best prospect for the future small midfilder with gret hands, unlucky not to be playing i think, has a positive future and will be getting a taste soon with burgoyne going out as well.
Matt Thomas: Picked up in the PSD this year compared to michael wilson, but is struggling to play resrves at norwood at present.
Hugh Minson: Taleted ruckman who is consistently getting in the best at norwood reserves, as we know ruckman take a whiel to develop, but is unlikely to play norwood leauge this year with big jonny meeson in there unless he gets the call up for the big time probably be playing in the reserves.
Nick Lower: Hard player and after early season injuries has been strong for norwood and is pushing for selection.
Johnathan Giles: Picked up late in last years draft and is a tall skinny ruckman and will take time to develop, playing central U/19's.
Ben Eckerman: After his taste of AFL last year has struggled this year so far and was dropped back to Sturt reserves.
Fabian Deluca: Been playing in the big time due to injuries but isnt dominationg in SANFL to give it a good go.
James Ezard: Promising debut, has potential.
Alipate Carlile: Big kid from the draft as a full back, and has been playing leauge down at south adelaide, maybe able to step up but needs to get some best player performances.
Tom Reisbeitch: Stuggling a little , playing sturt reserves, wont play AFl this year.
Tom Logan: i think he will get a call up this year, strong player and is looking good for glenelg.
Tim Looby: dont think he will mkae the grade
Greg Bentley: Playing sturt reserves
i didnt include symes, surjan or pearce becaus ei thik these guys will cement there spot.
and the Crows:
Richard Douglas: before injurying himself on the weekend he was on the vegre of the team, is part of out bright future.
Chad Gibson: I like the look of this guy but is struggling with both injury and form has the potential, but yet too see it all.
Johnothan Griffen: Developing
men who is starting to show his talent, but with our stong ruck stocks atm i ont think he will get a game this year. Still playing reserves for central.
John Hinge: Elevated from the rookie list, but i dont think he will be getting a game anytime soon with players in the SANFL consistently playign well he will need to show a little more to put his hand up for selection but is playing leauge for glenelg.
Chris Knights: In and out but enough said.
Ivan Maric: Going to be one of the best ruckmen at the club we will have. In the best nearly every week with Port.
John Meesen: Starting to find his feet now, with weight behing him is starting ruck for norwood now with more strong performances and injuries may get his chance this year.
Alan Obst: Needs a couple of years to develop started in Leauge for centrals but is playing ok for reserves.
Darren Pfeiffer: Was looking strong unitl injuring his back, but i think will play AFL next year.
Jason Porplyzia: Enough said, will be in our best consistenty next year.
Bernie Vince: played big time already, just needs pace and will be back in there.
Adrian Bonaddio: PLaying leauge for west but dont think will get a game this year unless we are struggling badly upforward.
Brad Sugars: Playing reserves in a tough leauge side to break into at glenelg neads to put on weight.
Tom Redden: See above
Sam Elliot: Like the two above needs weight and little more speed.
Overall i think the crows are in a much better position to blood youth if we wre in Ports situation, i think port would be worried with there youth.
