[ABAB]

I think he's a little impatient/harsh in his appraisal,but it's not as if we are stacked with elite young midfield talent going forward.

He seems to be very harsh on our list which is still rebuilding as well. No one is arguing about our stuff up of developing McAsey as KPD and Jones as the elite midfielder but our list has taken a big leap in the last 2 drafts and this year bringing in Rankine.

 

[Mr_Moogle]

how many mids do you need FFS what are they doing!

Is that you Nicksy?

 

[crowholder]

Crows draft Hugh Bond

A former top-level rower who turned his full attention to football

www.afc.com.au

Plenty of strength and upside

 

[crows dude]

You're missing Hinge

Crap you are right. OK No Turner then. Fixed

 

[BACCS]

Big year for Hately with competition from Dowling

 

[Ramify]

Soligo looks a real talent.. Taylor hasn’t played a game yet but geez his late sanfl form once he got over his injuries looked bloody exciting..

And I reacon Rachele will end up a gun midfielder..

I agree. I throw Shoenberg in there as well, but until proven, they are speculative potential and we have to address this need via shotgun(GrommoT) as we haven't many realistic alternatives to work with. Old mate is complaining that we are already stacked in this area and that we should be targeting talls.

Yeah I see his point to a degree though. Would be nice to land a couple of high end young mids in the draft one day.

Who was our last?

 

[ad victoriam]

Looking like we need to trade out our 2024 first rounder into 2023 (or 2025) too.

Would be Highly likely if Welsh is top 10 and we perform better each year. we could lose 2024 pick 1 in a Father-son bid. So we can trade it in 2023 or use on a player Trade in 2024

 

[Mutineer]

There goes our rookie chance

 

[ABAB]

Not all high end young mids becomes gun or even decent players, look at Patrick Dow.

 

[Afcprophet]

No idea who these guys are to be honest.

 

[Scorpus]

Not sure how we had a pick there. Maybe we have to pass even if we have no list spots

 

[Sanders]

Hey Crows fans,

Just wondering why Adelaide chose not to take Keeler as an NGA when he virtually would have been a free hit?

The suggestion is that he might be a bit, erm “uncompetitive”

 

[Afcprophet]

Why didn't we take a shot at verral with our pick?

 

[incorrectdisposal]

So

Out: Rowe, Frampton, Brown, Davis
In: Rankine, Michalanney, Dowling, Bond

Good summary Scorpus.

Rankine is a big upgrade on Rowe.
Michalanney is our next generation Ben Hart/Rocket Maynard
Dowling is a ball magnet and 188cm midfielder, feed the lad some protein bars and 2 preseasons and he'll be a likely type.
Bond already has the lungs to be a good lockdown defender, we need mid-sized backline/back-flanks to replace Brown & Laird and compliment the tall timber.

All up I'm happy with who we picked. All inbound players seem to have one common characteristic and that is work ethic and tackle pressure. A good hand of selections available for 2023.

 

[crows dude]

[Viva la Mattner]

Who do we rookie list ? Verrall ? D’Aloia ?

 

[Ramify]

So is anyone going to allay my fears that we've reverted back to recruiting players that can't hit the side of a barn by foot?

Not all high end young mids becomes gun or even decent players, look at Patrick Dow.

Yeah mate I know. I've used this exact same argument a couple of times in the past fortnight when people have appraised our list. Seemingly based on not much more than where the players were drafted.

[Danger in Texas]

Who do we rookie list ? Verrall ? D’Aloia ?

Moose and Seed

 

[crows dude]

Who do we rookie list ? Verrall ? D’Aloia ?

McPherson and Seedsman. They are contracted and have been promised that we would rookie them.

 

[Afcprophet]

Who do we rookie list ? Verrall ? D’Aloia ?

If we re-rookie seedsman and turner over taking a shot on some young players I think it's a mistake.

 

[crow2crow]

There goes our rookie chance

we can still LTI seed and or payout moose?

 

[croweater 41]

Who do we rookie list ? Verrall ? D’Aloia ?

Unless we want to pay out both Moose and Seed we will be taking Moose and Seed.

 

[Scorpus]

Who do we rookie list ? Verrall ? D’Aloia ?

Seedsman and McPherson
