Roo's 250th

[Stiffy_18]

Congratulations to our captain and heart and soul of the club on his 250th game. If the rest of the squad had any heart and pride they would do it for the captain who has put everything into the club.

IMHO, the best player to ever pull on the Crows guernsey.

 

[Jars458]

Easily the Crows best player ever.

Well done Roo, you are a champion in every sense.

My top five Crows of all time (so far)

1 M Ricciuto
2 B Hart
3 M Bickely
4 N Smart
5 D Jarman/ S Rehn

Well said............If each player played with the same commitment and honor as Mark, there would be little chance of the Crows losing their captains 250th.

As it stands, I'm just hoping this occasion pushes them to step up.

Well done Roo, Adelaide's proud.

Roo will be on Talking footy soon.

You've said it all there Stiffy. He keeps on leading - when will they follow??

A champion in every respect.

Hard to disagree with the names in the top-6 (just the order).

Congrats to Roo & thanks for giving me heaps of memorable moments over the years ... from a raw kid playing off a HBF ... the bone-crunching tackles like the one on Kemp .... inspiring captain's efforts & goals like against Carlton at Optus in the storm when Ayres/AFC were under the pump ... to stating your leagacy is to leave AFC in a better position then when you leave, compared to when you arrived.

Spot on once again Stiffy.

Well done Roo.

Another tipping dilemma - they sucked me into tipping them against Collingwood even after I had vowed not to tip them after the Essendon game. Will the emotion of Roo's 250th be enough for some of these guys to put in a decent effort?

Congratulations to Roo - a true champion of the club

Congratulations to Roo!!

A true champion of our club and the competition. Truly a beacon during our current dispair.

Let's hope the lads do him proud on Saturday.

Can't really add much to what everyone else has said, you all summed it up perfectly.

Absolute legend, heart and soul of the Adelaide Footy Club and a great player and leader.

Hopefully the boys can show a bit of the heart Roo shows week in week out and do it for the Skipper this weekend.

Congrats Roo.

Congratulations, Roo on your 250th and all the best.

I was at the "G" when Smart played his 250th in 2002 (SF against Melbourne) and hopefully the boys can do it again for "Roo" (and me) this time again at the "G".

Once again, congrats.

How do you leave out modra for his impact?
also smart below bickley? you're not giving enough weight to the first few years when Nige was the only crow delivering it every week.

well I agree with Bickley before Smart I mean, Smart may have delivered at the start, but Bicks delivered 2 back to back winning flags....that weighs up that decision for me.

IMO; I wouldn't have Roo as my number one, I'd have Bicks instead, with Roo second.


Congratulations Roo, It's been a great lot of 250 games!
