Finals Experience Crows v Pies

[RealSlimShady]

I was interested in finding out how many of our guys had finals experience compared with the pies who we are always told are a young side.

Based on last weeks teams

Crows - Finals played
McLeod 19
Rutten 6
Vince 0
Symes 1
Knights 1
Mackay 0
Johncock 10
Maric 0
Porplyzia 3
Massie 11
Tippett 0
Doughty 8
Bassett 11
Bock 5
Van Berlo 4
Gill 1
Douglas 0
Shirley 10
Stevens 4
Thompson 6
Goodwin 20
Edwards 19

Total - 139 @ 6.32 per player

Pies - Finals Playes

Leon Davis 8
Nick Maxwell 4
Paul Medhurst 4
Harry O'Brien 3
John Anthony 0
Scott Pendlebury 3
Shane O'Bree 12
Shannon Cox 0
Nathan Brown 0
Martin Clarke 3
Rhyce Shaw 4
Tarkyn Lockyer 7
Josh Fraser 8
John McCarthy 0
Daniel Stanley 0
Ryan Cook 0
Chris Dawes 0
Travis Cloke 3
Simon Prestigiacomo 7
Dane Swan 4
Tyson Goldsack 3
Chris Bryan 2

Total - 75 @ 3.4 per player


Obviously the Crows numbers look good because of the older players like Edwards, Goodwin and McLeod but overall we have a good spread of players with 7 players with 10 or more finals, the pies only one. Number of finals virgins is fairly comparable with 5 for the crows and 7 for the pies.

Lets hope this wealth of finals experience pays off.

Douglas has played finals

Well one final anyway. Good pickup.

let's remember some of our young lads have experienced SANFL finals, this will stand them in good stead

Knights, Vince, Maric have all played SANFL finals

Symes has some good experience at Centrals

As for his one AFL final, not sure what he could draw on that.....

A lot actually.

In a side that got thrashed by 119 points on the biggest stage of the year, he played well.

It's a positive that he can draw on right through his career. He knows that he's good enough.

Well said, you know he would bust his gut to avoid losing by 119pts again!

I agree actually.

A good point, and probably one of the reasons both he and Tredrea (the other player to stand up in the Grand Final) have had good seasons. No personal shame.
