[Crowfan75]

I've never thought EH to be soft.

Lazy yes

[FR0GGY]

When he's eligible for free agency and he's one of the best players in the comp, the Power won't want to be out of the top 8.

I don't anticipate a trade any time soon.

Still reckon he won’t go anywhere, didn’t like out of state before, can’t see him coming to us.

 

[1970crow]

Proof will be in the pudding I suppose, but we need some fresh ideas in the box.

Will he bring fresh ideas though or will he align with pre-existing ideas? Is 1 person being added to the original group going to shake things up, I doubt it.

 

[whattagun07]

Maybe that's it

 

[whattagun07]

heard a rumour that Port got spanked last night.
Can anyone confirm?

 

[hugecannon]

No other club would want him.

I could see him playing a role with a coach like Hardwick given the success he had with the Costanga etc type during their premiership years, but that’s just wishful thinking now.

 

[dogs105]

Luko’s preference is Port (offer around 3.6m over 4 years). Cumming will be a crow. Come at me

 

[1970crow]

Oh we VERY intentionally bottomed out. An absolute full rebuild.

Everyone here was desperate for it at the time. Personally, I wasn't sure what options we had, but full rebuilds can take a decade before they're successful - and if topping up is an option, you should take it.

What an absolute load of revisionist rubbish. YOU couldn't even find room for Mackay in your best 22.

B: Brown, Talia, Doedee
HB: Laird, Hartigan, Gibbs
C: Milera, M.Crouch, Smith
HF: McHenry, Walker, Lynch
F: McAdam, Fogarty, Frampton
R: O’Brien, B.Crouch, Sloane
Int: Jones, Gallucci, Flanders, Kelly/Knight

Emg (from): Atkins, Sholl, Seedsman, Stengle

The rest: Mackay, McPherson, Davis, Strachan, Wilson, Butts, Hamill, Murphy, Poholke ...

I want McAdam to start ahead of Stengle, though the absence of crumbling small forwards is worrying.

 

[1970crow]

We let him go completely and then rehired him a few weeks later in a different role.

SANFL coach and then he's somehow infiltrated our AFL group again.

 

[Cromulant]

That's the concern yeah

 

[1970crow]

Amazing isn't it .....the board constantly blows up on nepotism for ex Crows players ....yet here we are advocating Rutten come back to the Crows as an assistant Coach

Why? .....give me a reason ....because all I can see is hypocrisy

There could be some hypocrisy, but there's also a sizeable portion who are happy with ex-crows players returning, but only after having expanded their horizons for a few years in other systems. But not when it's someone like Burton who's time at Lions saw them suffer well above average soft tissue injuries. They'd need to have been successful. Goodwin is a case in point, he's been successful, coached with Roos and Bomber. If we ignore the reported cultural issues at Melbourne, he's got the required CV to be welcomed back.

 

[1970crow]

As I've said previously, I don't want any more Neil Craig disciples.

Maybe an exception for Skipworth as he was only on the fringes during that time.

He was a Crusher, he has no standing at our club.

 

[cleanhands]

I’m so confused!

How do you think I’m going then

 

[Floating Doughnut]

Not keen on the word soft being used as much as it is from the other side of the fence.
Never seen EH shirk a contest or drop his head when marking in front, the equivalent for a big man.
Would trade him for a biscuit but he is not soft.
RT has a slight issue head dropping imo when pack marking which I think is hopefully going/gone .

 

[Samcro24]

How do you think I’m going then

Nervous about tomorrow I suspect

 

[cleanhands]

Nah it’s the norm

The players made Goodwin, not his Coaching .....if not for a 15 minute extravaganza from Gawn, Petracca, and Oliver ....MELB lose that GF, and Goodwin is viewed entirely different

A sliding doors moment

 

[Trigger13]

i didn't start the accusations but Trigger decided it was easier to pick on me than the others. sorry im not putting up with that... you too like an argument

Ok, this is getting silly now. I was merely responding to you. It seems we both get piled on here. So let’s shake hands and move on as fellow supporters? I’ve only got Sanders on ignore too. So we have that in common. Like I said, I’m happy to put my hand up if I’m wrong about my intel.

 

[Crow till I die]

Nah it’s the norm

There were 2 sides capable of beating this Norwood side this year and one of them is gone (Sturt). The other is....Glenelg

 

[daniel_4tw]

I don’t have a rumour, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Lukosius ends up landing at the Swans.

 

[MRB37]

SANFL coach and then he's somehow infiltrated our AFL group again.

Shows you how badly we ballsed up our coaching last off-season. Knew we needed to beef it up, missed every single target we went for so had to promote our 2nds coaches (Godden and Hombsch) to our AFL side.

Not soft, but concrete hands.

Hombsch was a good promotion.

Bit of luck there

 

[Tom14]

I think North's F1 might get you pick 10. Ours is probably about pick 14.

I'd be curious whether pick 25 and 26 could get us pick 15 from Brisbane?

I'd be stunned if we don't trade pick 15 to Richmond. They have a heap of later seconds and thirds they won't be able to use, and it will come with a wink wink nudge nudge that they won't bid on Ashcroft at pick 1.

 

[AFCCroweater]

Hombsch was a good promotion.

Bit of luck there
