Training 2025 Pre-Season

[El Doederino]

I think us and North Melbourne are comfortably leading the preseason stakes

Port has 2 players with buzzcuts to our 1. They lead all comers.

I've changed bigman's thread over - he's now the thread starter.

Previous training reports are thread marked

Boooo

If you want the rainbow of Bigman reports, you should have to put up with the rain of GK posts

Which key defender is going to step up and become a dominant player?
To go to that next level our defence needs to be top 4 and will require our young defence to progress.

Can Murray put his ACL behind him and become that?
Or will a second preseason for Keane elevate him?

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

But wouldn't we effectively be replacing ROB with Burgess, Cook or Murphy?

However you feel about ROB, this move doesn't make us a better team.

Or Toby Murray...

Worrell & Max to control the half back line.

Bags of talent that kid, will be fun to watch his development this year.

 

[1990crow]

A top class small forward for free would really accelerate our chances if we can maximise our 2025 and 2026 first round picks in exchange for proven talent.

Mutineer What's your thoughts on this bloke? cheers

The problem with our KPD are they are both too short to take on the monster 200cm forwards. Only Butts has the height. Maybe T Murray can be a defender.

The AA full back last year was 195cm tall.

Cal Wilkie is 191.... they dont seem to struggle.

Not sure now, but last time I checked..Tex,Soligo,Ryan,Shoenberg,
Keayes,Berry,T.Muz.
And they ALL mouth the words to the national anthem too!

 

[Coopers]

Sid was ‘eased’ in? He basically didn’t train yesterday. After a decent break too. Call it ‘management’ if you want AFC, but clearly he a has significant injury. Has to put him in some doubt for the start of the season.

I'd love him to debut round 1, but realistically we have like 30 players we are trying to fit into the 22, so I won't get too worried about it.

Mutineer What's your thoughts on this bloke? cheers

Is he eligible this year or next?

Tex’s boys got the buzz too

If you want a good discussion on the Crows players, and team make-up .....you'll find this very entertaining
Forget the Supercoach aspect ....those discussions are more based upon player roles

General agreement is ...Crouch should not be playing ....and the impact Milera has on the Crows

 

[adelaidecrows]

Not to brag but I was his school footy coach. Taught him everything. You are welcome!

 

[jenny61_99]

I’m glad we bottomed out, finishing last doesn’t bother me, but that’s not the point of my post. Mostyn is giving the club credit as if it was by design, it was far from intentional with Roo saying during the year we expected to be better but our experienced players let us down.

Finishing bottom also forced us to go full rebuild rather than half arsed.

Is that what Bob Ross would refer to as a “happy little accident”?

 

[Crow till I die]

Worrell & Max to control the half back line.

Could easily see Max having an AA Season this year. As a player, he has the talent to be just about the best medium defender in the game imo

Not really. N Murray is not short and has great body strenght to out position his man. Also fast on the lead to help with spoiling

We’ll see.
For me Crouch gets first go @ distributor without Laird and doesn’t look back.

I've said for years, Crouch adds very little benefit to a Midfield, where all AFL Clubs are seeking speed, both legspeed and ball movement

I agree with the analysis, our midfield will function so much better without Crouch .....more opportunities for Rankine, Peatling, Dawson, and Curtin ....plus Rachelle

Yep he's that guy unless Sam Berry comes on in leaps and bounds this pre-season and early on.
