    Opinion New AFC HQ (Part 2): Family picnics on hiatus

    It’s a nothing article, these are the only parts that aren’t just Crows saying they’re reviewing or replanting 3 for every 1 tree cut.

    It’s some sort of continual tug-of-war mind game the Australian management play with themselves when they try to protect their selection choices, most of the time especially recently Marsh isn’t actually an all-rounder anymore - he’s a batter, but then when selectors/team management need to...

    Yeah but his ability to provide vibes, make people laugh with self deprecating humour & be BFFs with skipper is an immeasurable intangible he brings to the team.

    Cricket Thread: Indian Summer

    I think what’s become obvious is how personal relationships & the want to desperately avoid putting pressure on experienced individuals is fully having its adverse effects now. At least in the setup they’ve acknowledged the issues with Marnus’ form with the bat (and to a lesser extent broadly...

    As I mentioned at the time I did see some speculation of her maybe contemplating the future post-season so you’d think it wouldn’t be 2, seems like the type that won’t be hanging on grimly ‘Brodie Smith’ style and will know the right time to hang ‘em up, so all likelihood it will be a one and done.

    Munyard likely on lowest tier but signed it for a guarantee of a 2-year contract. As I predicted ’carrot on stick’ extensions for the other 3, obviously want to release another article on the website for Gould & Thompson’s.

    Which is why most have still chosen to stay over the years out of loyalty and relationships built, but like with all modern pro sports teams and that’s where they are heading in terms of player movement individuals will still have that human nature of a little bit of ego or grass is...

    https://www.afc.com.au/news/1706137/aflw-four-young-crows-sign-on It’s pretty safe to assume this first release of re-signings were the lowest tier deals, Kustermann & Boyle-Carr signing for 2-years and Smith & Tarlinton on 1-year deals would all be right at the end of the pile. Probably the...

    Well it’s getting to the point where Australia probably need to reverse the order every test, top 3 hardly look like they can bat. Really playing like they didn’t expect to bat today.

    Bumrah just taking the piss out of Khawaja this series, 38 years old today and missing balls like that angled into the stumps is not a great place to be at.

    India going to avoid the follow-on because Cummins has had to bowl himself into the absolute dirt because even to numbers 10 & 11 Lyon looks totally unthreatening

    He’d want to find some rhythm fast if he wants to turn it around in the 2nd innings, reminded me of the old Lyon when he was still wet behind the ears & he’d bowl too much around the wicket on too straight a line and drag it down too short.

    Nathan Lyon has bowled absolute pump today on what is a pretty favourable pitch for him.

    If it wasn’t under the old state-based system I’d argue Boileau & Kustermann would’ve been ranked as late first rounders at least talent-wise, I do agree that of course she’ll most likely get more games than those I mentioned but the question was what amount of impact she’ll have in the first...

    Bowling has been nothing short of ordinary/unthreatening today, team really looked like they dropped their heads once Hazelwood went off. Nathan Lyon averaging nearly 60 over this & the last series against India at home. *Edit: On cue Smith helps him drop it down a bit…

    Since 2021 these are the number of games played by first-year (18/19 y/o) draftees/recruits under Clarke; Prowse - 1 Tonon - 3 Ballard - 4 Kustermann - 1 Mueller - 5 Smith - 1 Boileau - 4 Henry - 0 Most of these games were with minimal actual time on ground as well, Rasheed as immensely...

    Ah I somehow missed that, I was a fan thought she was getting better as a player like you said makes a lot more sense especially with Jacques also gone & Tahau is always a chance to go back as well to help that area too.

    Still will need another bigger body up there plus while Jones loves to trail behind an opponent in hope of jumping on their head to take a big mark it rarely occurs and you can’t really rely on that methodology, plus the type of skill she possesses I still think she’d be much better served being...

    So at the end of it all they’ve addressed a bit of that talent deficiency that became obvious post all Port concessions and filled a need after having basically no dangerous small forward goalkicking options. Of course the Rasheed question will be there but you address that when that rear’s its...

    Just saw Port picked Chloe Gaunt and like I said Brisbane didn’t match, looks a good player but will be behind Houghton, Teakle, Levicki and the returning Tahau and Young… interesting to see how many tall forward options they have on the list where as the Crows have only Gould and maybe...
