Young Crows

[Geoffa32]

I have put this team together of Players at Adelaide who are younger than 25...

Forward

Jericho, Luke 26 Hentschel, Trent 61 Porplyzia, Jason 25

Half Forwards

Gill, Nick 6 Sellar, James0 Vince, Bernie 10

Centre

Hinge, John 1 Knights, Chris 33 Campbell, Bryce 1

Half Back

Mattner, Martin 98 Bock, Nathan 62 Stevens, Scott 78

Back

Johncock, Graham 125 Rutten, Ben 78 Douglas, Richard 16


Followers

Maric, Ivan 14 Reilly, Brent 84 Van Berlo, Nathan 52

I/C

Griffin, Jonathon 15 Meesen, John 2 MacKay, David 0
]


Others

McIntyre, Andrew (R Pfeiffer, Darren Gallman, Greg (R) Tippett, Kurt Turner, James (R)

Archard, Rhys (R)



Forgive the formatting...the number is the amount of game....I realise having three ruckman is not an ideal scenario




If all our players over 25 retire today...how do you think they would go??



Considering we have never had a rebuilding year this team looks fairly good



Be interesting to see how other clubs would stack up...

Some quality players in there. Adelaide must keep topping up on youth though.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Just looking through that team the thing that leaps out is the balance. There is a good mix of KPP's, midfielders, forwards, defenders and ruckmen.
There isn't really one position that leaps out at you as an area we are short in. Good list management from us . Whilst there might not be the genuine Ricciuto, McLeod, Goodwin star-element of yesteryear it does look a pretty solid collection of players.

 

[Geoffa32]

Exactly....Look at ports youngsters....On the MAin board, I put this thread up too...Overlaoded with Midfielders...

This side could play an AFL game and be competative....I think it may alck leadership....THere is no standout leader like Roo was in 1994...

Rutten VB and THompsosn Are close but have not seen enough on their own to indicate their Leadership style...

After seeing VB shape up to A Rocca and C Cornes, I am impressed....

Ill give you a hint, we'll never stop drafting young players.

Yes perfect. I like it. Hopefully Porps can soon become a great forward target (he already is but I want him 2 be like a Brown). Luv ya porps.
Crows will become one of the best teams in the competion one day and i no it

You miss the point my child. The club must make a concerted effort to be topping up on youth at the expense of older players. In the past we've brought in youngsters while other youngsters have been delisted. I don't want to see someone like a McIntyre discarded to make room for Walker for instance.

Had to change his name and now only leaves his house wearing a Groucho Marx mask.

I believe his funeral is being held at Neverland Ranch on Sunday.

They are expecting up to a million people there.

[Kane McGoodwin]

Exciting side now - more quality depth

Completely new spine - stronger forwards, weaker defence (but would be when AA players just miss being 26)

 

[Drummond]

E: Giffin (23), Sloane (10), Kite (19)

Lee? A guy who has played a handful of reserves games, as a forward, and hasn't ever seen more than 5 possessions per game?

Why not Young? Young will be a FB for the AFC.

 

[Elder van Berlo]

*cough* Hendo

And I know Sloane looks young, but really...

Whoops, I meant Young - I mix these 2 up. Fixed now....

I'm surprised we have 9 players older than 25 actually!

The big 3 + stiffy + stevo + dogga... can't think who else.
