Are you happy with the Crows Draft?

[matty p]

Personally, I'm shattered. How we could not pick up Ebert is beyond me. Let's just pick up a Victorian averaging 8 possessions a game over a South Aussie who's more proven and has great pedigree. I just don't get it.

What does everyone else think?

 

[brown30]

Yes and no.

Dangerfield is a pick for the future but he'll be a great player. Shame he's not gonna be with us next season.

The rest is exactly what we've needed in terms of pace. Now we wait and see if they develop as we hope.

What does that mean?

 

[Crow-mo]

all this proves is how little anyone actually knew about the process and prospects. so with that in mind, who the hell knows if we did well or not?

 

[brown30]

What does that mean?

Staying back home and completing year 12. He's a youngun'

I'm sorry but if Ebert's good enough to go to West Coast in a flash at pick 13 after they had hardly even talked to him, then I think he would've been good enough to go to a local team at pick 10.

Get back to me in a week

 

[hugecannon]

In my opinion we should have picked Ebert he will be a gun who would have played AFL games next year.

 

[BlackDouglas]

Yeah - let’s see but not picking up any South Australian lads is not good considering we have a high ‘go home’ risk factor. This may come back and hunt us in 3 or 4 years time.

And our number 1 pick will not be at the club next year is not bloody good. WTF

They need to convince Dangerfield to move to SA to finish his schooling.

 

[Spadge]

very surprised the crows didnt pick up Ebert
i thought it would be a certaintly
cant say im disappointed though. Couldnt imagine an Ebert playing for Adelaide

Cant say ive heard much about Dangerfield but he must be a future gun to pass up on Ebert

Not too concerned, there was always a feeling that the SA lads were of a lesser quality.

The only one Im is Ebert. But its done and we move on

well that makes no sense.

 

[Blue Red and Gold]

at the moment, no to pass on a guy who is AFL ready for a guy who wont even be training with us next year is a sham. Who knows what happens down the track.

 

[Mismatched]

Not sure at this stage, Dangerfield had better be better than Ebert, otherwise Rendell will be in the firing line big time. Happy with Otten and Jackhy, know very little about the rest. Extremely suprised we didn't pick up any south aussies.

That was a short week

sun goes up sun goes down

Still irritable

 

[big schnitzel]

Basically Ebert wasn't quick enough. SPEED was the key... it's our major weakness, so of course we were going to pick a quick bloke over him.

 

[vlbl]

I'm not too sure about many of our draftees (due to not seeing them and hearing too much about them).

All i am concerned about is how our forward line going to function next year without any 'afl ready' players from this draft. I mean walker still is a year away from playing regular afl footy. Also really surprised ebert wasn't taken and if it was only due to speed and not talent then Rendell and the rest, well i will say later once we see how dangerfield comes along.

I guess only time will tell but, lets all hope Rendell has found some gems.

 

[Mad Dog]

are any of our picks any chance to play in '08 ?

 

[Porps_is_HOT_loz]

I know Ebert is gonna be star..
I dont know WHY we didnt get him
When he wins the NAB rising Star ill cry

 

[ICanDressMyself]

I voted not sure .. I'm not totally unhappy with our picks but I cannot for the life of me understand why we took some kid who wont even be at the club next year.

Aaron Kite looks like Dale Thomas a bit, so maybe he'll play like Thomas? ere's hoping

 

[Truck Rutten]

What like Shannon Hurn? If that is the reason then we have erred.

 

[Spadge]

Russell Ebert on 5AA this morning was absolutely filthy that Adelaide didnt pick up Brad. He's concerned about him going to West Coast with their culture problems

not like thats a reason to be filthy at Adelaide in particular but more of where he is ending up.
Pity he didnt slip 3 more spots and we could have snaffled him

 

[Truck Rutten]

I'm not unhappy, but pick 10 I would've gone Ebert. Using pick 10 on a guy with question marks over his skills is enough to put me off, no matter how quick he is. Sounds like we got plenty of pace with subsequent picks. Pick 10 should have been a guy who can find the ball and with great skills on both sides of the body.

 

[Asgardian]

I'm surprised Ebert was available to you at pick 10

I am amazed, stunned, shocked that he is not now a Crow

Different players, different positions I know, but the situation reminds me a little of Port's selection of Boak and letting Sellar slide
