Are the Crows mad?

[Sky]

You’re in the bottom 2 and you find out your club has basically delisted a club champion and two time AA despite the fact he’s 29. Yeah Daniel Talia

has had some injuries but he’s not 33 and he’s clearly best 22. I can understand delisting Tom Lynch but he’s also best 22.

It looked like they’ve been turning things around but, no, obviously they’re still in shambles. If I was a Crows fan I’d be absolutely pissed. They’re supposed to be building and they’ve just given their best defender away to probably one of the 16 clubs better than them currently on the ladder.

Between the whole Tex thing, the camp crap, some of their off field decisions are really astounding. Has this club done anything good in the past 4 years with the exception of drafting Thilthorpe? They even screwed that up because they tried to pick Jamarra first..

Pride of South Australia yep ok

 

[Liam Boy]

What did they lose by bidding on Jamarra?

 

[Bald]

What did they lose by bidding on Jamarra?

If anything it was a gain. Thilthorpe loses the pressure of being the number one draft pick.

 

[I Lost My Keays]

Calm down mate

It’s clear we are focusing on youth for the future, I understand that Lynch and Talia have been fantastic for us for the last few years but realistically they’ve struggled to be on the park with their injuries where Talia may never play again or be very limited.

You can’t continue to be playing guys who are in their 30’s in the team and neglect youth.

Hi Daniel. I'm sure you'll make it elsewhere

 

[Kreuuuzeurns]

They made a grand final less than 5 years ago. So yes.

 

[The 747]

Not sure why they didn't at least try to trade him for something but perhaps he indicated he wouldn't move. Hard to know the story behind it from afar.

Crows admin is a dumpster fire though, their fans are well aware of that.

 

[Jcpdragonx]

Offers will come for him and it might get us a second round compensation pick.

But yeah would have been happy to keep him on, there are other senior players who are less useful to us- Walker and MacKay.

 

[Jcpdragonx]

the funniest part is they refuse to state whether or not their racist captain is going to play on next year, all while making decisions on players who have plenty left in the tank and aren't racists [citation needed]

Our new ceo initally was more forgiving however Nicks was pretty gutted/angry. Give it time but I doubt Walker returns.

Its a bad look though to get rid of a club champion yet say nothing on Walker, as wel; the C grader MacKay.

Agreed - in some sort of fairness to the Crows the AFL should’ve taken it out of the clubs hands and handed down a more severe punishment

You seen Geelong the past 5 years? No premiership or high draft picks to show for it but you’re no guarantee to win it all even if you had 20+ first rounders like Gold Coast over the years

Are you cool with accepting mediocrity?

Accepting mediocrity would be keeping a 29 year old KPD that has been riddled with injuries for the better part of 2 years. The guy has literally not gotten close to playing this season. His body is shot. Best case he gets his body right for a season and plays in a bottom 4 side in place of a guy like Jordan Butts who has played every game this season and is developing very well.

Keeping Talia doesn't help Adelaide rebuild or develop a playing list.

Nevermind that we have other developing defenders in the SANFL that need to get a go too.

Adelaide's problems are midfield, midfield and midfield.

 

[10571z]

No issues, nice talent coming through. Clear the decks and rebuild.

 

[Lensen]

They've fallen for the bigfooty youff meme, pisser when actual footy clubs do it

 

[Power Raid]

The crows will bounce back in no time

Never stopped Carlton

 

[MisterMarcus]

People were saying the same thing about North Melbourne at the end of last season.

Clearing out the older blokes seems to be working out okay for them.

He is EXTREMELY lucky to be dual AA.

2014 was well deserved, but Robbie Tarrant (who has zero AA’s bizarrely) was much better than Talia in 2016.

Not surprised Adelaide have cut him at this point honestly. They are clearly focused on the next generation.

 

[le dominateur]

Confirmed rabble.
Keep McKay and Sloane and get rid of a top liner in Talia.

 

[Gavin Excell]

Will he be picked up by another club next year?

 

[Chairman Zia]

Will he be picked up by another club next year?

not with his injury history, both him and lynch are not exactly in their best 25...

 

[Chairman Zia]

People were saying the same thing about North Melbourne at the end of last season.

Depends on who you clear out? We cleared out more than a dozen who have been around for at least 6 years being mediocre.

talia is injured a lot...

"Second round compensation pick?
How do you figure that?
You've delisted him.

12 player 30+, captain and spearhead 34 in 2022, be careful before you gloat.
