Something to do with our development here in SA?

It's more about him being a lad in this time.

Has all the talent he needs, just lazy and undisciplined. He can still make it, but it has to click

Josh Worrell has turned out ok

Josh's biggest problem according to his coaches at the Sandringham Dragons Josh Bourke and Jackson Kornberg was self belied and work ethic at U16's which he straighten out as an underager and a top ager when he decided he wanted to be drafted.

So not really like Tyler Welsh at all who has gone the other way it appears, over confident if anything.

 

[50BC]

Note his response about ruck.

Did you expect him to publicly agree with Kane?

 

[Samcro24]

Trade period is over. We did pretty dam well. Way better than usual. How about doing us all a favour and giving the criticism a rest for bit?

No

His first couple of pre season with us don’t say that

 

[Mutineer]

Jack is this year , super longshot to be drafted at all

Might be one we target through the new SANFL rules re the Crows ans Powa?

Zero chance of getting drafted IMO especially this draft.

 

[crow2crow]

Reid looks to me like he's done. Even though this was his best single trade period.

Take it up with Jackson Kornberg not me, he's now coaching Frankston in the VFL, that's what he said in an interview I heard a year or 2 ago.

I'd be looking at Boyd from Norwood as one of the recruits if possible...mid season pick up and he's be ready to go

Josh himself said it wasn’t until his dui the light bulb went on

 

[MRB37]

I suspect that's the plan.

The word was we were super worried about him last year and that's why we got him into the club a year early.

If he hasn't got the message by now.....

18 year old who probably was able to get by on pure talent since he was a kid and now he's reaching that stage where that's just not enough anymore. Wont be the first or last kid it happens to, so bring him in and hope he gets it once he's in that environment full-time.

How would you look having to talk to Kane and Damo?

zero chance of him nominating for the MSD

if we want him we would have needed to commit to a proper rookie spot minimum if not a proper contract.

There is zero chance we are not taking Welsh

There is a common feeling across clubland that Tyler Welsh has a very poor attitude and work ethic. This is info ive just been told by someone in player management. And it makes complete sense given his poor testing and body composition. I’m leaning toward us not taking him. Maybe as a speculative rookie. What a fall from grace.

Not a poor attitude because he was brilliant with the Crows Academy kids for a good 2 months. Worked hard with them and these 14 yr old lads really spoke highly of him.
We erred by taking him out of the u18s program this year. There's a feeling he would've dominated, but we hid him away, was rushed into the SANFL, lost confidence and then his body struggled.

Club internally believes he'll get to the rookie draft. I'd be very surprised if we didn't select him in that after all we've put into him this year.

 

[1970crow]

Well it would be to our advantage if he did, wouldn't it?

Our biggest advantage was if he was good enough to go pick 1 which we get a big discount on and get to use a bunch of crap picks to acquire. All the advantage is lost because he’s slipped so far that we get no benefit whatsoever.

 

[WheresGroomgone]

what went wrong?

Nothing went wrong apart from posters on here thinking he was as good as his brother which sadly it appears he isn’t.

 

[GreyCrow]

It's a joke he can't run out a full AFL game after all this time on our list.

Its a mark against Burgess also

Just tell him to do lap after lap after lap until he clicks

I heard Max on radio said he had a long way to go but that was it and early in the season. Big shame.

 

[LoBu]

Ruck is so unimportant. A mediocre ruck is fine so long as other key areas are set (midfield, defence, small forwards).

ROB out of contract next year, so 2026 we have a new ruck and NMW hopefully, anther 20 games into our kids, and that's our year to make a move to premiership contention.

 

[Crouch#44]

I'd love to do a poll, who will be the best newbie for 2025,
1.ANB,
2. Cumming,
3. Peter pan
4. Pick 4

Yeah think you’re right but they’ll keep him guessing a bit and definitely discuss pros and cons

I’m sure they’d like to see a positive few weeks of self motivation from tyler

I’ve written on here a few times. They may be brothers but entirely different characters. Jack likes to stop and sniff the roses. Max would stuff the rose up your clacker and chuck you in the river.

Nice player though Jack, good size and plenty of talent to work with.

He's already in, that's the thing.

I still think we draft him, but he'll have to cop a bit of a wake up call

I doubt it. My guess it'll be something like "we won't accept a F/S if you get a 2nd round bid, however will from the 3rd round".

It did sound like we're probably taking Welsh unless someone really loves him.
