Last year they went from being 14th to finishing 2nd of the ladder. Despite them being arrogant, amongst 10,000 other descriptive words, it's a reasonable comparison.



Yeah the crows did go from 14th to 2nd in one season. It was not just the soft draw of Having gws and suns twice I was was Irritated with, I was also Irritated on how lucky the crows were in winning so many close games and facing strong teams that were injury riddled. Im still bitter with that semi final last year...

Someone said the crows are significantly weaker with Tippet out and Callinan out. It makes a huge difference losing 2 guys kicking 40 goals each...

This is going to be music to the ears of some Port Fans on here.... I read today's Advertiser and a Read Mark Riccuitos section, I loved every word of it. He said he wasnt just impressed on Port beating GWS but how well they beat them.

Another thing he said that he fears the crows wont make the top 8 and be 4-8 by round 12 before the bye!:D

I wanted Sloane pre draft. Port were uber keen on him and interviewed him more than any other club. We chose Mitch Banner instead.


Funny you mentioned that... I was thinking the same thing. Freo got Ballantyne for pick 21, Suban for pick 24 and Zac Clarke for pick 37 in that years draft, Sloane was pick 44 that year.

I think everyone doged a bullet not getting Jack Watts.:D

I have this with Josh Jenkins but I think that's because I spent all of last season hearing from a workmate about what an amazing find he and it was Jenkins this Jenkins that. Kill me with a shovel.
He wasn't too bad in the Showdown, but he is already 24yo... it's not like he is some young impressive rookie like Butcher etc.

I like him but I do think he is overrated... almost exactly the same as Jimmy Bartel. Love the way they both go about, but think media/fans hype them up more than their actual output.
Bartel at least has runs on the board and pulls it out in big games and big moments. He's ten times the player Sloane is.

Sloane is a good footballer who always puts effort in. Always. He's not a star, but would be in any team's best 22.

Ok probably not the right word, do you think it's true?

How old are you? Are you older than wrinkles? :D
Oh come on that's harsh!
I'm 30 years old, she's in the Ministers Office near me, and she's an absolute pain in the arse every day. Probably shouldnt describe all the reasons publicly though!

You mean to say that you aren't 12 and you do know what this is?

Preposterous.

Definitely no proof, in fact absolutely no evidence at all.

Well going by what I'm seeing and Wrinkles being absent, I wouldnt be surprised... I noticed she's down in the dumps of late.

Have a mate who had to work with her - his opinion mirrors your own.

Marriage break down might explain his absence.
