Marsh Delisted!

I think we dump Parker and promote Smith. He has the perfect football pedigree, apparently.

KG and Cornesy were talking about this tonight. Cornesy was saying that every Crows supporter he talks to can't understand why Parker hasn't been upgraded to the main list as well as Skipworth.

KG said that he would ask John Reid about this when they had Reidy on later - he didn't ask.

Crowell was always going to be delisted. A fringe player with a knee reconstruction was never going to survive. I wish him all the best though because he is a great guy.

The others have earned their delistment.

Yes I feel for Andrew Crowell (actually we have a lousy reputation at the minute for letting players go who have had knee injuries ie Fitzy and now Crowell) I just hope that he can get his knee right and either get picked up in the draft or play some good footy with the Eagles in the SANFL.

I assume you mean the other way around. (I'm not sure where we can 'promote' Smith to anyway.)

We kept Rehn and Marsh on for a very long time. That's just the way it goes. I think Crowell was in trouble before he did his knee. Whilst Fitzgerald was just way too fragile to persist with.

No, go to Matthew Smith's player page at AFC, and read the article about his perfect football pedigree.

Who cares about his pedigree. The fact is he can't play and Parker can. Smith is big enough for KPP and yet he doesn't play like one. He plays like a flanker. At AFL level he can never be a flanker as he is too slow. He is not overly skilled in fact his disposal by foot is rather ordinary. He has bugger all footy smarts.

Parker beats him hands down in everything I mentioned.

I am really puzled by this Smith-Parker scenario. We must keep Aidan Parker

Stiffy...you seem to miss my attempts at sarcasm...of course I think Parker should be promoted! I thought my sarcasm was obvious!

At least try to make sense then.

"Promote Smith"

"Dump Parker"

We can do neither of these things.

Mate, I can't figure you out. First you say we should draft Darren Bradshaw and then you say we should keep Smith.

I am confused

We can do that but it would be criminal if it happened.

I thought interstate rookies had to stay the full two years.

Are you sure?????? I wasn't aware of that.

DaveW · Oct 22, 2003

Just doing a bit of searching... it looks like that rule was scrapped.

Asgardian · Oct 23, 2003

If the Crows do not promote Aidan Parker onto their main list, he is available to anyone else in the draft, at least that's the way I read the relevent rules.

If so, he'd be the type Port would look at, IMO.

If no-one took him in the draft, the Crows could offer him a second season as a rookie.

Pretty sure I've got that all correct

I think you are correct.

For a change

Would he have to nominate for the draft though? Or could any club just take him as you seem to suggest?

troy_sibbick · Oct 23, 2003

[Skipworth is no Legend but he has a go and is a 20 times better player than that loser David Gallagher

God I was glad when we got rid of him two years ago

Dave, I think his previous nomination for the draft still stands, we know that he had to have previously nominated, otherwise the Crows could not have selected him as a rookie.

So yeah, unless the Crows promote him, I reckon he is fair game at the National Draft.

ajmart · Oct 24, 2003

The only reason for elevating Skipworth must be that Gary feels he has the potential to be a ruckman, a la Trent Ormond-Allen

Cheers,

a.j.

Alright its past 5pm ACST on a Friday and still no announcement of any further delistings.

It looks liked neither Jars nor macca's sources has come through on this one.

What's the story, guys?

lozstar · Oct 24, 2003

I'm quite happy your sources never came though this time, as it's Friday night and if there were delistings we would have heard... Which means, Smith is still a Crow

But Why????

Unlike with what people say on this board, I don't agree that he is a "dud". Sure, he is not going to be a star, but he does have some ability. Obviously the coaching staff realize that themselves otherwise he'd be long gone.

I wish I knew. I want him to be at least half right, so we can get rid of that dud Smith, and at least put Parker on the main list.

He was pretty confident about it too, as if it was a done deal.

Jars has obviously got the same story, so I'd be surprised if there isn't some substance to it.
