Could you explain/justify this in “how he performs at AFL level in 2024” terms, rather than “where he finished in the B&F” terms?

Using coaches performance rating as a counter to argument what's effectively criticising coaches decision making is a bold strategy.

I was watching his highlights from earlier in his career. The 100 games highlight package he was a completely different player to today - he played with desperation.

These days he's just going through the motions, grumpily and doing the bare minimum, like a public servant counting down the days until retirement.

He'd be annoyed that he's having to put in to hold his spot well before his contract year. Poor bloke.

I think Rachele needs a bit more love. Great result for him in the b&f last night which is backdd up bu his stats and for those who say he doesnt go hard - well the stats just dont back up that view.

Above average FOR

ground ball gets
I50s
%1s
contested possessions
centre clearances
stoppage clearances
marks
goals
goal assists
score involvements

got very few CBAs. this is a remarkable season for a third year small forward of indeed any small forward. lets get behind him cos there lots of haters based on one of two incidents not the whole year.

Don't have any problems with rachele. All I've seen is nicks, dawson etc acting like dickheads over how he celebrates goals and banter in the media.
 
How does anyone actually get banned?
Can’t you just sign up again with a different name?
I started here as dude001
I was thinking the same but I suspect some of these aliases are him. but perhaps the pure punishment of not being able to post as "sanders" is considered punishment enough

why some posters ask to bring him back is beyond me.

CROWS RECRUITS’ VALUE REVEALED

Adelaide will reportedly part ways with second round picks in the national draft this year and next to land Melbourne’s Alex Neal-Bullen and GWS’ James Peatling.

AFL Media’s Callum Twomey has revealed that the Crows’ pick 28 for this year looks likely to be sent the way of Melbourne for the departing Neal-Bullen, who is returning to his home state for family reasons.

Such is the seeming simplicity of the deal, Twomey added it could be one of the first deals done once the trade period begins on Monday morning.

With their only second-round pick of this draft now all but certainly attached to the Demons gun, the Crows will likely need to look to the future to rope James Peatling out of western Sydney and into West Lakes.

Their 2025 second-round pick looks a more appropriate price to pay then using one of picks 45 and 63 in this year’s draft.

If successful, Peatling would join former Giants teammate Isaac Cumming in Adelaide - who successfully moved as a free agent to the club on Friday.

Twomey reports that Peatling will be on a four-year deal at the Crows, an offer much greater than most clubs in the race for the 2021 mid-season draftee.

Still think 28 is way overs.
 
I'd prefer to see Berry develop over playing Crouch. Berry tackles more, kicks more and puts defenders under more pressure because he runs forward out of contests. His base numbers are a bit low, but need to factor 56% TOG into that. Still needs to get it a bit more, but replacing 30 from Crouch with 25 from Berry would be an overall positive.
Crouch is currently a much better player than Berry.

However, we should be looking to rest him during the year & use Berry as his replacement.

I would prefer we get more games into Taylor though as imo will be a better player.

Agree, so we should be getting back a later pick from the Dees which covers us for Welsh points & we can trade on the night if we don't use.
 
he came third in their b&f. the pick is projected to be 31 by the time its taken. hes 28, not 32. be a little realistic !
Given drafts are year on year this doesn’t matter.
The number after compensation is given is what the pick really is.

I’m using Edwards and Dowling in the midfield ahead of Berry, too
 
And he was Crow Mo and lord knows how many others in past lives!
Only aware of the 3 usernames.

Was originally Cromosone, then CroMo, then Sanders.

Watch out for a new user called Ronald McDonald... as sure he will be back under an alias.
