If I was Freo the chance of us finishing bottom 4 again would be the motivation. Be a 50/50 bet

Adelaide F1 to Freo for 13 and F1. There's a reasonable chance we come 15th and they make the GF but it's time to gamble. If we come 12th and they come 6th it's been a good trade. Trade 4 and 13 to St Kilda for 7 & 8 (Battle compensation) We get two gun players to develop this year, Draper...

I would be prepared to finish bottom 4 next year as long as we cleaned out the dead-wood and gave the next generation their opportunity. We are not winning a flag in 2025. Regardless of anyone else's form: Dowling, Taylor, Nankervis, Edwards, Ryan, Curtin, Cook, Bond & Pick 4 must play whenever...

Rory is a club champion and done a mighty job. He's got the most out of his career through dedication and ability. It's not his fault he's been a club champion when we've never had so few champions running around. When Roo and Bunji were running around they had Rehn, Hart, Smart, Goodwin...

Fair trade for Rory Laird

I wanted a Pick to take Dodson and 17 should be around the mark. Freo really should play finals next year and may be a Top 4 side. We will have a better draw and should improve but it's an optimistic supporter thinks we're playing finals. So maybe, Pick 8 for Picks 14 and 17 - which be slightly...

Pie In The Sky Time Delist McHenry Parnell Burgess (even if he’s contracted) Retired Smith Sloane FA Himmelberg - GWS Trade Berry – Richmond Pick 29 Laird – Melbourne Rachele – Carlton Pick 11 Keane – Collingwood F2 Gollant – Richmond Pick 47 Picks 4, 11, 25 (Melb 2nd), 29, 42, 47, 60, F2...

Luko is not elite talent. On the bass of his AFL career he's a nice to have at best. SA based footy reporters and recruiters rated him the best talent from the state since Platten, D Jarman, Bradley, McGuinness etc, and pride means they can't disavow that view. Six years in the system and he...

We haven't made finals in seven years...there's not a realistic Crows fan who thinks we are guaranteed to play finals in the next three years. Sydney are top and favourites to play in another GF despite a major wobble, yet you are arguing we've made as many mistakes as they have in recruiting...

Of course they don't get every pick correct but there are only eight legitimate picks on that list and Florent, Hayward and McDonald are all major pass marks at least. Ling is a definite miss and Stephens is a bust even though he still might have a reasonable AFL career. The last three are kids...

Gallucci is a massive miss, players after him were Todd Marshall, Jarrod Berry, Tim English, Sam Power-Pepper, Isaac Cumming, Will Hayward and Jordan Ridley. Jones and McHenry are bad misses...they've played games in a bottom four team most of their careers. 2018 proved to be a super draft and...

Is your view that it's just back luck that we selected so many players through that draft that no longer play AFL or have had limited careers?

Whatever the ills of the Crows the lost opportunities and mistakes of the seven drafting years through 2014-2020 have come back to haunt us. These players are aged from 28 to 22 years old and should be the backbone of our squad. Only 12 of the 23 remain on the squad with another couple at least...

We have 13 first round draft picks: Smith, Ryan, Cook, Milera, , Pedlar, Thilthorpe, Rachelle, Fogarty, Edwards, Jones, McHenry, Curtin and Michalanney. We paid first round picks for Rankine, who was a 1st round pick, and Dawson to make first round picks at 15. Only 7 of those played on Sunday...

Luko is an upgrade on Burgess, Cook and Gollant, but that's about it on his career so far. Jack Watts Mark II

Five First rounders running around in the magoos if you include Edwards and Ryan

Rachele is a top 5 draft pick...we couldn't take Darcy or Daicos ahead of him. We traded a Top 5 draft pick for Rankine, which we wouldn't take back if we could. So 3 Top 5 draft picks int total

I'm holding hoping he can turn things around. I think St Kilda will have a strong end of season and the two weeks off should see his knee improve

Could have looked at Frampton?

As a Whitfield owner I'd far rather have Himmelberg who has averaged 100 the last six weeks compared to Whitfield at 94av in the same period. But it's too late in my season to use a sideways trade, unless forced.

Add in Himmelberg and Salem as other possible options at around 90av from here on current form

These are our 100+ game players aged between 25-30: Matt Crouch Jordan Dawson Ben Keays ROB Lachie Murphy Brad Crouch Jake Lever Tyson Stengle Jeremy McGovern Charlie Cameron Shane McAdam Tom Doedee

Get rid of Roo? Do you understand how a propped-up Boy's club dictatorship continues to survive? Nicks out - Goodwin in is the next move

With Cameron, Betts, Lever, Talia and B Crouch on the list - we don't hav that quality now after a five year rebuild

Who predicted that? All of us - we are terrible, call it drafting, call it development, call it coaching, what ever it is we are terrible. Schoenberg Burgess Scholl Berry Keays Murphy McHenry Strachan Hamill and so many more are not AFL standard

Cook was a first round draft pick in his year, 2020, due to the number of academy and compensation picks ahead of him. It's not the number when they are picked. Schoenberg was Pick 24 the year before and a second round pick. Ryan and Edwards were second round picks in their year

We've 13 first round draft picks on the list now if we count Dawson and Rankine who cost first rounders; Smith Thilthorpe Milera Jones McHenry Cook Curtin Rachele Pedlar Michalanney Fogarty We also have eight second round picks on the list so that's almost a full team. It's not how many...

GWS have had a great five years...which is a worry as they passed over Curtin

We all know the players we have drafted in the last seven years; this team is an alternative. It isn't anywhere near the best team we could have selected from picks after ours, it's just a team from SA born or SA based players drafted by other clubs. It doesn't include Rozee because we didn't...
