2nds 2024 Adelaide Crows SANFL thread

[Mutineer]

Ned Atkinson is draft eligable this draft with a July 06 2006 birthday and has nominated.

Played mostly midfield coming through U16's and as an underager at U18's until this year where he's played more forward.

I remember posting this in Evans draft year, remember him as having an exceptional leap...we could actually be having a look at him as Strachan's replacement...now we just need to look for ROB's replacement?

I dont mind us doing that TBH.

Taheny seems like a weird pick

No SANFL games in 2024, and pretty poor production overall in the two seasons before that

 

[spenze]

Surprised he wasn’t made head coach

Nord has a coach for that?

I seem to recall he's had a history of knee issues dating right back to U18's, had talent but there were big questions about his commitment and preparation back then.

Jacob Newton is the SANFL 18 year old I'd love us to give a gig if he goes undrafted,

Interesting approach by Adelaide with the new rules targeting younger developing players. Bit surprised Ned has taken this path and sad to see McCormack leave, he was kicking bags of goals in the reserves this season.
It seems like Adelaide is using the new rules more as an adjunct to a rookie draft.

ok judging by this mccormack doesnt count as one of the 4 as sturt themselves are describing him as a community listed top up player, and ned is under the talent development program, which i think is crows pay a 2.5k loan fee and if not selected he goes back to sturt.

McCormack according to Playhq is from Rostrevor OC and before that Hahndorf in the Hills Association.

I remember in his draft year he was touted as a 1st round chance after some big games at League level for the Redlegs but then his form tapered off towards the end of the season. Was still expected to lgo reasonably high but that didn't eventuate with rumours swirling around about his preparation etc, possibly got a bit ahead of himself.

Everything came very easy to him before getting drafted, got a bit of a culture shock along with the injuries. He spoke very highly of what Geelong were and what they did for him... he just knew he didnt have that extra level of work in him.

Ned would still play ressies if not selected for Adelaide.

Tommy would go back to a community club.

How tall is Evans?

Genuine ruck height or undersized but has a big leap?

Should've played more league footy at Sturt IMO.

Hard midfield to crack but still

 

[George Kramer]

Question to the learned amongst us. With these new rules what happens when most AFL players are available and these signed players cannot make the team. Eg Ned Atkinson. Does he play for Sturt or a local club??

And exactly why a serious player wouldn’t play for a shitshow

I agree, even if he got his body right in 2024 I felt like he was a fair way off Norwood's best 22.

 

[Ticktak]

Will Crane is a bizarre choice to join our SANFL team.

Definitely has that vibe to it . Any chance he becomes a ROB replacement

 

[hugecannon]

Jacob Newton is the SANFL 18 year old I'd love us to give a gig if he goes undrafted,

Evan Bradley is another one i hope we look at if he goes undrafted.

Wouldn't think so, Strachan replacement as depth far more likely.
