Training Pre-Season 2024

The dream is he gets pushed out by someone, not sure I can see that happening though.

And because he's god awful everywhere else, he can't even have his minutes transferred to someone else. He's permanent ruck or he's in the 2s and we know he's allowed to play crap for half a year before any pressure comes on him.

Yep, the won’t push him out comment was because we won’t push him out not because a player won’t push him out.

Best of luck.

Any word on billy Dowling? Had amazing junior numbers. Wondering if he’l ever play or if he’s a few years away? Any thoughts?
Also Sam Berry seems to be on the outer? I thought he looked quite good? Seems to be out of favour.

Dowling was one of our better performers in the reserves last year. I think a less conservative coach would have selected him in the AFL side just to give him a taste. That dead rubber against WCE would have been perfect.

I like Berry but he needs to develop his game so he's more than just a tackling machine. His form fell off a cliff at the start of 2023 and he seems to have developed a leather allergy. It's hard to see where he fits in atm.

fairly confident he was playing under duress. He's the type that needs to be cherry ripe as effort is his one wood.

Hi all, apologies if this has been answered or asked 1000 times. Will the intra club trial be steamed?

Will be interesting to see if the changing of ruck coach has any influence on our ruck set-ups... & ROB's hits to advantage.

Or to herald a change in ruck selection?

No word yet from the club. They streamed it the last 2 years, so there's no reason to think that they won't do it again this year.

Doesn't look like it will be too steamy. Nothing like the R1 game last year.

It is in Pt Lincoln though? Not at the club, could intact things.

Surely to goodness it's getting streamed

Country football gets streamed

Shouldn't be that hard for them to establish an internet connection, between their video camera (and they'll probably only have one), and the AFC servers back in Adelaide. Port Lincoln isn't exactly an internet blackspot.

That won’t make any diff, it’s not as if ch7 are doing the game

Chatting there to a former crow

I was more reflecting that Charlie Curnow was 5/6th on the list. Even Oscar Allen made the list!!!!!

but Tex….

possibly expecting a drop off. There's some handy players on 85, he might've only just missed that arbitrary cut-off as well.

Need a big improvement from ROB

I'd settle for never again seeing him standing in no man's land 15m off a stoppage or pushing ahead of the ball to assist the defenders in spoiling a deep forward aerial contest.

I'd also be happy for him to dial down his handball receives

Adelaide veteran Rory Sloane is back at West Lakes after his latest eye injury​

After yet another eye injury, Rory Sloane was at Adelaide training on Monday. So what’s next for the former Crows captain?

Adelaide veteran Rory Sloane is set to start exercising again from Wednesday as the former Crows captain begins his comeback from a second surgery on a detached retina.
Sloane was at Crows’ training on Monday at West Lakes, where he walked laps.
The 33-year-old had surgery on a detached retina for a second time after he noticed he had lost some of his peripheral vision during training.
It is the sixth eye issue Sloane has experienced during his 255-game AFL career.
As Sloane looks at getting goggles to protect his eyes during his recovery from the latest surgery, he is set to ramp-up his training load this week.

“We know how positive Sloaney is and how important he is for the group – and it is great to have him back at the club,” Crows defensive coach Jack Hombsch said.

“I think the plan, for this week and over the next few days, is to get him moving a bit and doing some exercise. He is infectious and comes in with such good energy so it is good to have him back again.”
Sloane will miss the Crows’ internal trial in Port Lincoln on Friday evening.

Young midfielder Jake Soligo is back at training, but is also a doubt to feature in the hitout after he suffered an ankle injury just under two weeks ago.
