WTF is going on with these posts???
No Lachie Murphy makes that list a fail.Not sure I'd agree with half of those
No current season stats available
I still hate the p.s. He really gets right up my nose.He won it twice. Also has an SANFL league and reserves flag, and WWT were pretty successful during his tenure.
I'm not saying there aren't potentially better candidates but that's his credits on paper.

Wayne Milera
It feels like Wayne Milera is always mentioned in these types of articles.
He has always promised so much, yet is his body constantly lets him down and he just cannot string games together.
The sublimely talented 27-year-old, who is stranded on 99 AFL games, has played just 39 matches across the last four seasons, including only three in 2024.
He has been denied regular game time by stress fractures, patella tendon injuries and other various ailments.
Milera played 22 games in 2023 and finished 10th in the best and fairest. That’s what the Crows needs from him in 2025 and beyond.
At his best he provides cleverness, drive and quality ball use off half-back which is something Matthew Nicks could use as the Crows push towards a much-needed finals berth.
Absolutely.Pedlar.
Why does everyone forget Curtin?
He’s going to be front and centre imo.
Exactly. People forget he's a TALL. They take longer.Curtin won't be front and center in 2025. If he's at an AFL average production level next year, and showing signs he can be more, we're cheering.

I think he plays a full season in the 1's and he has a lot of talent. As a bigger mid, he will be able to handle the physicality - I believe he will be someone that we value in-game by the end of the season.Curtin won't be front and center in 2025.

Nat Fyfe averaged 25 touches and 4 clearances a game in his second season after being drafted as a scrawny tallCurtin won't be front and center in 2025. If he's at an AFL average production level next year, and showing signs he can be more, we're cheering.
If we work out where we want to play him....Nat Fyfe averaged 25 touches and 4 clearances a game in his second season after being drafted as a scrawny tall
If he's genuinely elite he should be front and centre in his second season. Third season at the latest
Good teams don't **** about with this stuff and have a plan early.If we work out where we want to play him....
I know they're high end picks but Filthy and Max slotted to key forward and defensive roles in their first seasons with no real issues.Good teams don't **** about with this stuff and have a plan early.
The reason Crows supporters think elite players take a while to get up to speed is because we don't usually plan for our draftees to come in and play important roles. At least not in the last decade.
I'm sure many have forgotten that Brodie Smith and Matt Crouch were both All Australian in just their fourth season
The Monfries one ??2013 Showdown "best matches ever" is on Foxtel at the moment, for those interested.
It's only rucks that take longer?It's not that he's a tall - it's only rucks that take longer - it's that Curtin at this point is roughly where you expect a first-round draftee to be. He's got through year one, got a handful of games (not enough, but still), and had some moments that show he's a serious prospect moving forward.
The expectation next year is he tears up pre-season, converts that start into being a locked-in best 22 player, and puts up AFL average numbers in the bottom half of our lineup alongside showing flashes that he's still a serious prospect.

Plus he still needs to learn how to defendExactly. People forget he's a TALL. They take longer.
I agree with most of that except Cook. I'm not at all convinced with him yet. Pedlar has much more upside than Cook IMO if he can get his body right and confidence.Absolutely.
Right now he is behind Rankine, Rachelle, Keays, Murphy flushed, Cook ect in the forward line.
I would think/hope 12-15 games is his targetIt's not that he's a tall - it's only rucks that take longer - it's that Curtin at this point is roughly where you expect a first-round draftee to be.
