Crows supporters happy as the slip down the ladder and get earlier picks than the Power and able to draft SA lads.

Like Darcy Fogarty.

 

[philreich]

Please no changes at the Korp thx it's going beautifully from my point of view.

To be fair, their draw after the bye is pretty straightforward: West Coast in Adelaide, Richmond MCG, and Geelong in Adelaide........

 

[OneGreatClub]

Also. What a mess.

Shaun Burgoyne must have felt like he was back at Football Park

Yes ... three more straightforward losses ...

The Hawks disposal by foot was sensational last night, I lost count of the times their players didn't have to move any more than a metre or so to receive an outlet pass from a team mate coming out of defence or through the midfield.
Disposal of that quality is worth its weight in gold and their `rebuild ' isn't going to take long at all, they will be top 4 again within a season or two.

I haven't been able to keep up with the Crows fall from grace, but when you read their board to learn a bit and you see them talking about needing to bring in Fogarty as if the 8 touch and goal a game kid is a superstar, then it's obvious they're in trouble.

Since I've been away they are 1-5, who would've ever predicted that.

And they now have a thread for just about every player and official at the club wanting them gone lol. New ones pop up each day.
I guess even the customers can take only so much bullshit about chunks and mechanisms before they lose their collective minds.
Ideally try to feel a bit sorry for them but then I remember what self entitled destructive corporation they are and I think stuff ‘em.

 

[JimmyBeerCans]

It'll all be about their home Showdown now expect just about every bloke on the injury list to be available by then.

Poor effort for a Friday night with no storm.
Surely some of the Crows online membership could have emailed themselves there.

As long as SPP and Thomas and Ollie are there for us.
I want to see Gibbs deposit a chunk.

Like Darcy Fogarty.

I think the crows have generally drafted well overall. Fortunately some have departed. Their reserves haven't set the world on fire in the past few years but they seem to get decent development into the individual younger player. So I fear they'll make very good use of their early picks.

 

[Nihilus]

Like Darcy Fogarty.

cow supporters are hoping that they can surround FLogerty with Rankine, Hately + another South Australian U18 player

 

[CharlieKelly]

Crows preparing a priority pick pitch.

The last time they did that was in 2001 when they drafted perennial f**k-up Laurence Angwin, they drafted him at pick 7 and cut him loose after one year at the club. They asked the AFL for a priority pick due to him being “unfit for football”.

And he’s still their highest ever draft pick

 

[bomberclifford]

Trying way too hard to get that membership at the country club.

That green door on North Terrace will always be closed to Tex, no matter what he does.

 

[JimmyBeerCans]

Carlton won't give up any picks that can land them Lukosius &/or Rankine

We had best enjoy the remainder of this season one helluva lot because come trade period and next year the SA media will saturate us with the Crows new draftees. McLeod Mk lV Danger Mk IiI Roo Mk III etc.
It will be absolutely unbearable and I for one will be back to listening to podcasts and watching Netflix for my sanity.

That's the next level of achievement by a modern afl club I reckon. How quickly can a club win a flag after having won three in a row.

There's the service entrance though.

Yeah that's a given. It's also hard to gauge how good the sa draftees are because the crows media are too hypo. Over the years they've predicted many sa boys getting drafted in the top 3 and they're nowhere near it.

 

[PowerBaz]

Will be funny when the SA boys they draft hit the ‘go home factor’ - sorry the ‘get out factor’....

 

[PowerBaz]

Elite Crows new thread, ‘break Rowey’.. my god they are eating themselves alive!

 

[Magus]

They can pick up a talented young forward but their midfield is still absolute dogshit.

 

[Garibaldi Red]

Not me! Most of my other predictions look like total ratshit though lol.

Only need the 1st one to get over the line

 

[Garibaldi Red]

Will Texta question effort this week?
