Strachan might be ok, might get a 1 year deal as ruck insurance seeing we don't have another ruck option. Yeah we could draft a ruckman but a 18yr old skinny ruckman wont give you much yet. I think Strachan gets another 1 year deal
no strachan too slow one match was enough to see that. quite surprised they even rookie listed him

Thanks for the service boys. All the best.

My favourite Knight moment.

If thats from the 2017 Prelim, I also loved M Crouch absolute vitriol towards Danger as he ran through the Crows midfield area before the first bounce. Literally frothing at the mouth - love it.
 
Does this end our experiment of rookie listing 25 year old midfielders from the SANFL who've never been AFL listed previously?
When did we do this? I went back to 2009 and couldn't find anyone?? Except Jono Beech, who was a forward.

Assuming the rumour is off the mark re Talia, I'm hoping Harto gets an offer that might get us a 3rd that we can use to upgrade another pick.
Good thing is Band 4 and band 5 are close to equal for the Crows,
Band 4 is end of 2nd while Band 5 after our 3rd rd. So unless he only get a 1 year contract of 2+ but way under the AFL average he will get an early 3rd if he become a free agent.

I have seen enough of Poholke to think he isn't going to be an AFL footballer.
Built like Tarzan, has an amazingly small tank and panics with every disposal.

These guys should go:
Poholke
Strachan
Davis (Trade?)
Seedsman (Trade?)
Crocker

Mackay will play on, you guys know he will. Not sure why you would think he wouldn't.

I have my doubts we'd even use a band 4 or 5 pick given the list size reductions and our current draft hand.

Line-ball. I would be inclined to turn Billy Frampton back into a pure ruckman.

So when he's playing seniors who's rucking for you at SANFL level?

**Assuming that Himmelberg is playing ones too.

The other thing with Strachan is you need that competitive 'youngster' pushing the senior players for their spot at training and the like, similarly to what ROB had to go through with Sauce.

Without Strachan or another genuine ruck coming for his spot, I don't see ROB improving again next season like he did this season without that competition.

Just checked Wilsons' stats in his only AFL game again. I don't remember him having 15 disposals. I just remember him shanking a couple of kicks badly when he's capable of much better. A bit like screwing up your first date with a girl you really like and never hearing from her again.

Sorry to be spamming your thread.

I rate Wilson and hope the Bombers throw him a lifeline.

I don't think he's as bad as you blokes make him out to be.

He's just as good as Greenwood and in a different environment, he's thriving.

So typical of Mackay to play some of his best footy 2/3 games before his contract expires. He’s so bloody predictable.
He left an apple on Nicks' desk after his exit interview

He would have been a superstar if we could have given him 14 1-year contracts
