Training 2025 Pre-Season

[Coopers]

he was all over the news. it was election time. Kids cover it in school. so yes, he did.

My kid is 12, so when he started getting all political I told him to do his own research and got him a facebook account

Good to know that future Crows players are anti criminal rapists.

Of course you know that the person you're inferring isn't actually a criminal rapist? On the balance of probabilities it was determined that he'd sexually assaulted someone. That's a long way off being found to have r*ped beyond a reasonable doubt. Semantics you say, ok, but even the dullest among us understand the higher burden in criminal proceedings. And you deliberately used criminal, which I think you know is very wrong.

I love the fact that you put "research" and Facebook in the same sentence.

Slippery Pete I believe this is your cue

I’ll ask my 11-year-old self and get back to you.

Look I get that it’s probably a hot topic at footy training by an yo

Feel for the kid, I am sure he thought he was going to play footy not get a Ted Talk.

wtf is the point of posting that?

Why do you care?

Technically true, but he is a criminal and a rapist.

Disagree there 1970. He’s a convicted felon. He stole classified files and showed them to foreign visitors.
He misappropriated campaign funds to pay off a sex worker he’d slept with.
And the most serious case - that he tried to overturn the result of a fair election hasn’t even been heard yet.
I’m a little mystified why anyone would try to defend him.

When his conviction is overturned on appeal you'll be straight back to rescind of course?

Hint : the reason he was given no sentence might be a clue that the judge is expecting him to win his appeal.

Yep, I’d be shocked if Crouch isn’t going to be given first crack as I’m pretty sure he’d be our best clearance winner, as long as he’s farming it out to one of our explosive players like Rankine, Peatling, Dawson then he’ll be doing his job.

If we have a new recruit who excels at stoppages then we might not need Crouch. Seems Draper could be that player as he likes to give away the quick handball but can also burst away. But he won’t take over from rd 1.

Our midfield this year is going to be very interesting to see how we shape up, we are now developing a bunch of decent mids but need 2-3 to be A graders to elite.

Dawson, Crouch, Soligo, Rankine, Draper, Curtin, Peatling, Berry, Taylor, Schoenberg, Rachelle are a decent bunch to work with and some tough calls to be made. Haven’t included Pedlar but could get in there as well if we saw him as a mid.

Selection with a healthy squad all over the ground is going to be a challenge, don’t know if Nicks and co are up to it. What we can’t do is have a mindset of a best 24 and persist even if some are out of form, 2 average games and you’re out, there’s someone now capable to take your spot. Keep the pressure to perform up, the only lucky player through poor list management that can escape that is ROB.

Further if we have an injury to a KPF, do not want to bring in Burgess at any cost, play 2 KPF and Curtin as a full time forward.

Yeah I think in time Draper will be our go-to clearance winner, but will have a few more strings to his bow than Crouch

Peatling will also be good in that regard. I have Crouch playing R1, but we will have players to cover what he brings once he moves on/falls out of the 22

Seems it's OK to bring Politics into this thread now hey.

Don’t think so. He got no sentence because he’s going to be the president.
And that’s really not how the courts work.

 

[Mutineer]

Don’t think so. He got no sentence because he’s going to be the president.

So you think he'll lose his appeal?

I don't.

Woops, thought this was a footy thread for a second

It was, perhaps the instigator forgot what thread he was on.
