Still wish we picked up Vigs. He still needs another preseason at the bombers but I think he’s going be very good.

 

[Schulzenfest]

Soldo would be in discussion as the worst recruit in AFL history.

Andrew Lovett is the worst recruit in AFL history. Soldo is ours though.

 

[Willsy10]

Soldo is clearly our worst recruit in terms of trade cost versus output in our AFL history.

 

[Willsy10]

Trent Croad to Freo was pretty bad. They gave up pick 1, 20 and 36. Only for him to request a trade back to hawks 2 years later for pick 10. Picks 1 and 36 ended up being hodge and Mitchell too. Somewhat saved by Luke McPharlin being a 244 game player for Freo.

Would've been better off trading in a large lump of clay.

Renouf for the pick which got Brad Hill was also pretty bad

 

[EskimoPAFC]

Bryce Gibbs was nowhere near the worst, but may have been the funniest.

 

[Interstater]

Tom Harley to Geelong must be up there.

The most overpaid for sure.

 

[Portmagpies36]

Wes Fellowes (not afl) and Cameron Cloke spring to mind. Just terrible footballers.

Wes Fellowes moved like a tree, unbelievably slow. To be fair at the time we lost Russell Johnston and David Hynes at the end of 1990 so we basically had nothing in the ruck.

 

[Portmagpies36]

Bryce Gibbs was nowhere near the worst, but may have been the funniest.

He was up there as one of the worst, (was a very good player at Carlton) cows gave 2 first round draft picks up for him and he absolutely stank at the cows.

Gibbs first year at the Crows was as good as his best at Carlton.

He was 4th in their best and fairest.

his best chance to get afl games is at Essendon tbh.

Not really in anyone’s interest for him to come here.

Never forgive never forget what brycey squibbs did to Robbie Gray

I mean yeah. He finished 4th sure. In a team that finished 12th, behind such studs as Rory Laird, Matt Crouch and Josh Jenkins. Just ahead of superstar hugh greenwood.

And then next year he managed 12 games and retired.

For 2 first round draft picks wasn't it? Lol

 

[Burningleviathan]

Speaking of Gibbs, the Hell's Angels appearing at Crows training is still a wild story.
I can only imagine what the response would have been if they turned up at Alberton.

Yes and what made it even worse was none of our piss weak players did a thing to stand up for him.

 

[StueyDaDew]

Wayne Carey trade to the Crows for picks 2 & 18. He only played for 2 seasons. That’s pretty bad list management if you ask me.

How Freo had inaugural concession rights to NT players to trade away, is beyond me.

 

[PeacefulWarrior]

Crows must be getting very concerned about Sid Draper

Why do you say that?

 

[Duckimus Prime]

I mean yeah. He finished 4th sure. In a team that finished 12th, behind such studs as Rory Laird, Matt Crouch and Josh Jenkins. Just ahead of superstar hugh greenwood.

Didn't say it was a good trade, but disagreeing with the statement that he was arse at the Crows compared to Cartlon.

His first year at the Crows was as good as anything he produced at Carlton, it did look like a good trade after one season. It's turned to shit because his problems from Melbourne caught up with him after that season.

 

[Traveling_Power]

I think the cows supporters expected that Draper being a high pick would walk into their side and fix all their midfield problems ... but Draper can hardly make the team (and they think they picked wrong when drafted him). Now because of this they are now looking to 6ft+ Dan Curtin to cure their midfield problems

but I could be wrong on this
