2nds The SANFL Thread

[BigLefty]

I think it's pretty safe to say there is no longer any correlation between his SANFL form and his AFL selection

which begs the question, if all our decision making on selection is based on training form only, why do we even bother playing our guys in the SANFL at all? Forget a Crows SANFL team, just have a competitive hitout on the training track on the weekend and be done with it.

I guess Lyons is heading for his fifth coach within 3 years.

Hes got the flu

Goddamn... what is with this powder puff?

Get out there and play FFS.

No Grigg and No Lyons in Crows team makes me something something...

Sando ain't going anywhere

I guess you can get some peace of mind in the fact that both Tambling and Symes dominated SANFL

(neither were 20 or 21 but still, it is a good argument to make)

It doesn't ease my pain at all...

 

[Crow-eater]

Grigg with 25 and 2.2 at 3 qtr time.

Lyons with 21 and 0.1 and 7 clearances

I'm just trying to think, when Walker was dominating the SANFL, people were still focused on the negatives

so clearly we haven't seen enough of Grigg to be able to identify his weaknesses,we already know that Lyons is slow....

 

[AusTerran]

still in the 3rd
Grigg - 25 D, 2 M, 2 Tk, 2 Cl, 5 I50, 2 R50, 2.2
Lyons - 21 D, 4 M, 2 Tk, 7 Cl, 2 I50, 1 R50, 0.1

Not much more these two can do to get into the team...

Beaten by Crow-eater lol

Both leading possession winners for their team. The thing is they both offer something our side lacks. Ones very good clearance player and one has a great left boot. Both aren't quick though which sucks. Why do we always recruit slow players?

 

[radiojake]

Norwood with a lazy 102 point win..

They're looking good for back to back... (or were Glenelg just horrible?)

Surprising draft choices. There are usually a boat load of super quick super skilled ball magnets in the bottom half of the draft.

Grigg out done by suckling

so needs to work on that next week at the SANFL.


in terms of speed, it is great to have some players who are quick, but it isn't mandatory for every player especially players with footy smarts.

Good to see Lyons and Grigg continuing to post big numbers. Hopefully we reward them soon!

Its a worry if we were to believe what Harper says .
He is a lot faster than lot of current team and a lot more talented.

i dont remember tambling dominating sanfl. i remember symes winning a magarey, even then i dont remember him dominating as such!

Glenelg are horrible. Period. That's coming from a Bays fan too. No essence of teamwork, skill level dreadful.

Fair call, but we do have a lot of one paced players and they are suffering because of it.

But we've also had choices with our draft selections. I like Kerridge but our side badly needs a Bradley Hill type who was drafted after Kerridge.

Yep, I was keeping that up my sleeve for round 2.

no that was only craigy. anyone who watched him on gameday regularly could tell he was something special. i still crack out his elimination final youtube video every now and then.

so clearly we haven't seen enough of Grigg to be able to identify his weaknesses,we already know that Lyons is slow....

ive seen plenty of grigg over the last few years. his improvement this year has been ridiculous. at present his only weakness is not being the quickest player, but that has been said of him forever. i cant recall what his right boot is like either. but he's positioning well, getting clearances, lots of ball inside and outside and kicking goals. how jaensch is getting a game before him on current form, i do not know.

Stats good on Lyons and Grigg.

Matt Suckling is having a great season. Very mature body who would be a very handy player.

That's it. Just have a scratchy on Max Basheer oval with the guys that don't make the team on a Saturday.
Then they would not have all those bad influences at their sanfl clubs

 

[Team DJ]

Players can seem quicker then they are with footy smarts. Think the Jarmans
Lyons and Grigg both have bucket loads of that.


When do the bring back Mikan calls start?
