OK. No Crows this weekend, so a thought bubble.

Champions win you stuff. Think Dusty, Riewoldt, Lachie Neale, Harris Andrews.

We have J Dawson - On his way. I Rankine - on his way injuries permitting. R Thilthorpe - Would be if his body holds up. T Walker - Fading but still here.

I think J Soligo can move up several rungs this year and threaten this echelon. Is this too optimistic a thought?

I think you are correct in saying Rankine, Dawson, Thilthorpe & Soligo are our 4 most important players... & all capable of being All Australian (again for Dawson).

I think you're right

There's a crew there who can take us forward. I feel more confident that they will with footy heads like Davis and Balme around too

A friend of mine is a mad Hawthorn supporter, and follows the Jrs in Vic. When we drafted Soligo he told me we got a kid who could be elite, and he wanted the Hawks to get him.
He spoke the same way about Will Day a few years ago saying how he has the potential to be a Brownlow winner.
After the last game Will played I dont doubt his eye.
 
Kids a jet. Had to scroll down to find this thread just to show my appreciation.
Underrated as it comes. You've got a star crow fans, take it to the bank.
I'm sure all of you already know this....

Anyway, good luck for season 2025 and beyond. Wish you the best.

He’s a star, not many players come into a team like he has and played good to very good footy from the get go.

He’s just a brilliant footballer, makes excellent decisions, is creative, evasive and with elite skills. Now he’s added consistent high disposal count too.

Up there with my favourite Crows player.

That long contract extension by Reid is up there with his best work.

Knew he was going to be a star when he was not just putting up very nice numbers for a rookie, but also genuinely impacting games with his smarts from year 1 (after that first and only SANFL stint)

Wheelo ratings have him as a top 10 rated player in the comp so far this year FWIW, only behind RT for us
 
Sloane comparisons are interesting.

Soligo is far cleaner and has far more tricks in his kit bag. He is tough but Sloane probably has him covered there.

The beauty with Soligo, is teams will tag Rankine and Dawson before they tag him. Although he could be the one to tag as his influence is huge. Even the commentators in that clip glossed over just how good some of those plays were.

The beauty of elite midfield depth

That’s without mentioning how damaging Peatling can be, too

Who would have thought we would have been saying this 12 months ago?

Now the shift focuses to KPD quality and depth as well as the question marks on ROB.
 
Soligo seems to be really good when going low or falling and being able to get a controlled handball off, even when he is on the ground on hands and knees, he seems to hit a target. Great poise and is a clever player. He has the traits to end up an A grade mid if he is not already there and that is a bonus considering where we drafted him and who else we have been able to put around him.
