Not sure if this has been posed yet;

How much Crowcoin would you be willing to throw at Jamara?

Imagine a forward line with Jamara and Izak.
Tex has retired, and cya Fog (traded for capital)

I'm sure he wouldn't leave Vic, but is it worth a shot? Offer $8M over 6?

Doesn't exactly solve our midfield issues though i guess
The Fog trade should be seriously considered.
Will he actually stand up next year (ideally now!) without Tex or just drift on pretending he's going to put it all together one day.
He has some value now but in 18 months time ?

Trouble is we don't have anyone capable of being any better. Gollant isn't it.
Welsh is years away from being ready.
Petty isn't as good.

I hope Burgess wakes and tries to get him to lose a few kegs to be more mobile.

Yeah the old risk vs reward.
Maybe give the forward line to Filthy as the main man.

The game plan definitely doesn't help.
 
Imagine being a young highly talented kid (top 5) in this years Draft knowing you could end up being taken by the Crows...

Your heart would sink and confidence would be gutted knowing full well you will have to toil away in the Two's and hope to Christ you get lucky to get selected if there's injuries despite smashing it.

The Milera's - We got the WISH version. A comparison at ANY stage of Wayne Milera vs NWM has poor old Wayne getting destroyed. Unlucky with the injury, but for me, despite what the clanger/turnover stats say, has been woeful in the MANNER and location on the ground in which he's coughed the ball up. Up there with Hinge in terms of being a massive disappointment this season.

They were drafted six years apart, why are we comparing them?

I reckon former Richnmond Captain and now midfield coach Chris Newman would have a few clues?

His left boot is a bazooka!!

From that article :

Here is Newman’s assessment of McAuliffe . . .

“You look at the size of him . . . he’s a readymade body and plays that inside mid role really well.

“Wins his own ball, and it’s good to see a left-footer in there that’s able to get inside and out.


“The thing that he likes to do is actually win it, but he’s quite good at getting in to out successfully.

“He loves taking on tackles, shrugging tackles and getting clear.

“He’s a really honest worker . . . works hard, which is exactly what we require out of all our mids.

“And his patterns are strong.


“He’s a really good kid, who loves to learn. He’s always in my office and works closely with Sam Lonergan and Jack Ziebell as well with his stoppage craft.

“He’s a really talented kid . . . a beautiful left-foot kick and quite penetrating, too.

“So, he’s got a good leg and he can kick both sides. But he’s quite good at getting on to his left.”
i thought he would have been a great pick for us. Loved the way he played in the game at Ikon Park.
 
They were drafted six years apart, why are we comparing them?

A testament to how bad our drafting has been. They've been drafted 6 years apart, but at no stage has W Milera managed to achieve the sort of stats and impact on a game in his entire career compared to NWM who's only been in the system for 2, entering into his 3rd.

Both Pick 11. Both play the same position. What a dud.

But why those two pick 11s?

And was our drafting meant to be able to predict Milera's injuries?
 
The first 2 words of the post give some indication.

What’s with the daft questions all of a sudden?
That’s like comparing Bailey Smith to Brodie Smith, what’s the point?

Comparing WMJ to someone from his same draft year who has developed better would make more sense, at least there’s a genuine direct comparison there
