Analysis Under a season worth of games as a Crow

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Just looked up that match, Sellar only had 3 disposals and 2 hitouts in total and they didn't even drop him the following week

That was pretty good for our ruckmen of that era

 

[GameofSloanes]

Chris Groom 12 - would have been so many more if not for a guy named McLeod

About 12 more yes

 

[Mike Smyth]

Bustling Brad Moran.

Doubled the around the ground output of the "once in a generation" tap ruckman Matty Clarke.

 

[Ozzie]

Really rated Jonathan Ross too, soooooo much talent..

Bloody Worsfold and then the booze took over his life.

 

[Ozzie]

For some reason I can remember every one of those names except Michael Murphy. NFI who that bloke is.

Ex Glenelg, ended up at the Bears.

 

[conVINCEd]

Myke Cook and Aaron Kite were going to be elite half backs once.

Kite seemed promising but I disagree on Cook; he was always a terrible player.

Complete lack of awareness and awful, awful skills. I'm not sure how he made it onto an AFL list.

Bloody Worsfold .

Never liked him when he was playing. but his games on ablett were epic. From a neutral point of view, he lined up Modra good and proper. Could of killed him and hurt himself. Mcintosh knew it was coming, arranged. You could see the short steps.

 

[frenzy]

From bris...came across as a barry stansfield type (ie crappy tall bloke who wasn't very good so dropped him in the fwd pocket)

He was actually a pretty decent kick for goal, 41.11 from his 16 games makes him one of the most accurate kicks we've ever had!

 

[Pea Nut]

Whilst I don't really remember specifically the 5 games Cicolella played for the Crows, I saw him play some amazing games of footy for Woodville-West Torrens.

Would have to be the most suspended player we ever had, he was hilarious to watch. If you touched him he wouldnt care and through the biggest haymaker

 

[displacedaussie]

Would have to be the most suspended player we ever had, he was hilarious to watch.

According to afl.com Murphy was the most accurate scorer the game has seen amongst players with at least 50 scoring shots, with 76.83% of his shots at goal scoring a goal.

In 1992 he kicked 23 goals 3 behinds for us!

 

[DD#23]

With the delisting on Mitch Grigg, he becomes the 76th Crows to play fewer than a season's worth of game for us (excluding those like CEY who are still on the Crows' list).

Taking out Davis and Gunston who left before wee wanted them to, it's a good list of "never quite made it", "too old when they got here", and "cripes, he played for us"?

I still can't believe Eddie Hocking only played 11 games.

It's a tough game this AFL, as many don't make it, as do.

nice work mate but your table needs another coloumn: "Years spent at club", I reckon that'd be pretty interesting.

That particular table would be owned by Matthew Smith. 5 years, 0 games.

I think he was "Grave's Danger's twin bro".

You will upset macca23 ...

Kite was a bit of a partier wasn't he?

Ross was really the groundbreaker for Lawrence Angwin and all those who like to get pissed and steal stereos and TVs from people's houses

It would be! (Alas I don't have that info- esp for the 0 gamers)

what did Worsfold do?

 

[Ozzie]

what did Worsfold do?

Lined him up and jumped into him front on and took his knee out for the second time IIRC, Ross healed but hit the booze, got traded to Collinwood and then got caught on a drunken binge and they sacked him. The hit I'm talking about happened at the southern end of footy park. I saw it clearly. If Worsfold did that now it would be at least 6 games.

 

[Captain Furious]

Ah...Adam Saliba, socks down, mullet out. Probs wouldn't get a look in these days with his athletic profile but man, that boy could play.

 

[relapse]

He and Alan Bartlett were going to be our two big key pillars in defence to stop the likes of Lockett, Sumich and Salmon

I had Bartlett on the never to play again list when Carey (I think?) tore him up in the last quarter and North pinched the game back in 91.

Barlett tried to blame his lack of defensive pressure on "having a corky", whereas the reality was that he just s**t.

The only good thing Danny Hughes had was his 50 metre bombs, another waste of a list spot on a player who came for an easy pay cheque who's heart wasn't in it.

 

[conVINCEd]

Kite was a bit of a partier wasn't he?

Yeah I think there were some off field issues that led to his early departure from our list. A shame.

 

[weneverland]

Rouvray only 21?

Huh. Thought it was more.

I thought he wasn't a bad player. Probably would have played more but left to go to Sydney IIRC after contract talks failed.
