Worst player to put on a Crows jumper?

And Brayden Lyle and Shane Bond... looked a canny exchange for a good few seasons until injury and all-round crapola saw the three Power picks in question delisted/traded/retired...

Meanwhile Gardiner, after looking jammy and incapable of fulfilling his potential in the same timespan, has developed into a colossus.

EUGENE WARRIOR.

And who'd we trade for Negri?

No Bond and Lyle were seperate.

The Eagles recieved like 4th round draft picks for them. They were direct trades.

Ian Downsborough was an uncontracted player selection for Port (along with Wanganeen, Primus and Heuskes), we got picks 1 (Gardiner) and 24 (Wooden) in compensation for losing him to the new team, West Coast were desperate to secure Michael Gardiner and simply asked Port what it was going to take to make it happen. It was Downsborough.

Warrior never actually played a senior game for us.

Negri was a member of the Crows first 52-man squad. Was initially Woodville's first ruckman and was first ruckman in that first-up 69 point demolition of Hawthorn as Mickan was injured.

New user here peoples.

Allan Bartlett (useless 6ft 4 hack loved by Cornes), Shane Tongerie (once saw him walk after Shane Crawford who was sprinting up the outer wing of footy park) and David Gallagher - definitely.

And the rest...

Thompson, Rouvray, Lamb, Marshall, Viska...

I'm sure he would've selected Salisbury and Melican if he'd have been able to get away with it.

Poor old Darren... was the best CHF in the SANFL but didn't have the required athleticism to make it in the AFL.

Champion bloke too was our Doreen.

Just didn't have the necessaries at AFL level.

David Gallagher was the most fustrating player in recent memory, but Jars came up with some dead set shockers from the early years. This question probably deserves a poll. Probably should limit it to players who have played at least half a dozen games or so, as at least with players who only played a handful of games, the club realised early that they were duds.

basically all the crap we recruited when Blighty was here...

Evan the dud Hewitt came in at the end of 2000. So you can blame Ayresy for that one.

Ayres was also responcible for recruiting James no talent too Byrne.

In retrospect, Hewitt was an amazing trade choice. Ayresy can't stand soft players and has got rid of a stack since coming to the Crows. Yet he took on Evan Hewitt. Perhaps he had the modern-day version of Dr Christian Barnard standing by ready to give him a heart transplant. If so it was unsuccessful.

James Byrne. Don't know what to say. Perhaps Ayres thought he was Cornes for a brief moment, and must have a Glenelg player.

That IS a savage one.

The pick we gave away for Hewitt got exactly what we needed.

No point getting the ball if all your gonna do once you get it is dance on the spot for a few minutes while all the options dry up and then kick it about 30 metres and 50 metres in the air...he could get the ball but had sh*t all decision making skills...the only best thing he ever did for the team was colliding with Carey that night against the Roos...Carey got taken off with a shoulder injury and thankfully Connell had to get stretchered off as well.

I've always felt Connell was pretty harshly maligned.

He was a key player on the wing during the Shaw/Blight era.

I suppose you're right...he did keep Tregenzer out of the team...

Trengenza, like Liptak, was riddled with injuries from 1997 onwards.

And don't cave in so easily acg_204*, more people agree with you than me.
