2nds 2016 Adelaide Crows SANFL season

[DD#23]

Is premiership on the cards? I might put some money on that.

SANFL/AFL multi?

Keep it quiet mate but yes same!

 

[beartoo]

Did I hear right that we are limited to 14 AFL-listed players in finals, or did I make that up?

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

A stand-alone AFL reserves competition would ostensibly relegate these four clubs to a third-tier competition, decimating their chances of survival.

This is why I've never understood the whole "No AFL in the SANFL" push.

A push to be irrelevant.

A full league and reserves compertition would be good. 50 player lists and zero association with the SANFL is the way to go. Thats not a port power 'bash' the sanfl comment, I just feel it would benefit both parties to be isolated from each other and then let the SANFL find its own identity again.

Bring back the reserves curtain raiser!
And when we travel we really do fly as one.

I haven't heard much about the SANFL team

I thought we were allowed to recruit one senior player (not including top ups) that isn't on the crows list? like we did with wingnut.

We still need a captain.

Captain situation is interesting. Without the thread getting derailed I'd think VB is a fair chance to play near the entire year in the 2's. There's doesn't appear an obvious candidate on our list. I'm going with a weekly rotation.

 

[1970crow]

Will anyone volunteer to captain the side from the current squad ?? Im not keen on rotating the role so who is likely to play out the majority of the year there ??

VB
Otten
Mackay

We don't have a very old squad this year and of our older guys only VB is likely to spend any great length of time in the SANFL. Thommo may play the odd game here and there I guess but IMO he would retire before being dropped.

As little as I rate VB on 2015 form I would have him a bit ahead of Dmac to play a few in the 1's.

 

[1970crow]

The problem is that he will then get the call-up to the AFL side. He's one of those players too good for the 2s and marginal for the 1s

He's not too good for the 2's, he was average when played there. He didn't have the big game that VB had to 'earn' a recall. He'd been poor, but we thought we'd need pace and run v the dogs, so he was recalled to sub.

Beech recruited to be captain?

Is a rookie so needs to be upgraded before playing AFL anyway.

Is it too late to maybe sign a senior player that has recently been delisted from an AFL list?

Actually that's a pretty good call. I wonder what his leadership skills are like.

Comfortably the bottom 2 in the pecking order from our SF team - we've brought in 5 talented, ready to go young players who could replace them. Add Crouch Sr, CEY and Rat to the mix. No reason for either of them to be anywhere near the 22.

Probably could still be done. Not sure it sends the right message though. Recruiting a captain from outside kinda implies we're a little light on for leadership. Doubt that Beech is the answer for those who mentioned it, if he was setting his sights on a full year in the sanfl he'd have stayed with the bloods. It's his last crack and he won't be keen to be burdened with captaincy.

 

[Smithalicious]

The more I think about it the more I think it could be a rotating captain.

No stand ouch choice. Personally I see Otten as the captain to start the year but will be interesting to see I he can push for the seniors.

Really looking forward to many players but the one for me is Greenwood.

It's the first time in a long time where I am genuinely excited by all the team (minus Lowden, unless he can step up).

Most players are either good enough for afl or are showing potential.

Or have been found out.

No good reason

 

[relapse]

Thought id start this up.
Squad news, Fixture release date and all pre season trial info please post in here.

I am yet to see the 2016 SANFL fixture.

Now as all teams play each other twice, the SANFL schedule is a bit of a non-event

Still good to know some of the time slots etc
fixture is due out a few days before xmas.

 

[maxlilly]

I think we will be way to strong for the other sanfl teams.
If we are dominating games, I think the sanfl clubs will be calling for rule changes again.
I wonder if we will play Ramsey Forward or Back this year. I was surprised to see him in the backlines last year but that may change now with Pods out of the side.

I suspect out side will look something like this:

B Kelly - Otten - Cheney
HB Van Berlo - Shaw - Wigg
C Atkins - Gore - Mackay
HF McGovern - Ramsey - Beech
F Milera - Dear - Lowden
R O'Brien - Lyons - Grigg
I Hunter - Greenwood - Others

I'm assuming players like CEY, Knight, M. Crouch, Lever, Hampton, Seedsman, etc. will be mostly in our AFL side. Jaensch will be out injured for half the season, and Keath might not be around (due to cricket)

You're forgetting about injuries, the situation that our reserves side faces is that essentially it has to contend with the equivalent of two injury lists, it's own and the firsts who need replacements for their injurred players. So we can't count all our chickens just yet, we'll need to wait to see how our luck goes and how much we'll need to rely on top up players.

Yes you're right, injuries will play a big part.
I'm not sure if it was luck or good management but the last couple of years the crows have done well with the injury list.
I hope it continues next year

You expecting Doedee to play AFL from the get go??

If not, surely he plays in the SANFL every game that his fitness dictates??

home games at Theberton.

interesting.
