This is actually harder than it seems when we’re doing cross-era comparisons and totally different type of players. One was more influential in the major rounds, the other a more consistent quality performer.

An interesting perspective:
How would Robran go in our current team in 2023?
How would Crouch go in our squad in 1997/1998?
Not sure who would make it a better outcome.

Am I the only one who thought Robran was meh
I think that's Robrans position.

Was he good or was he not is why he's early in this debate.

But he kicked 6 in a preliminary final, which no offence to Matt Crouch is worth more than he has done in his career to date (that could change)

Crouch won a b&f and was the age player of the year in our only grand final year since 1998

Shane Ellen kicked 5 in a GF. Does he get in?

Robran flopped in both grand finals by the way.

You know, I completely forgot he won a B&F , it feels like an age since that happened.

Ellen - in the vote? Why not. Don't think he gets far

Double edit - I'm sticking to my rose coloured glasses vote 🤣

Triple edit - holy crap, he really didn't do too much in the GFs ...might need to re watch them.

And Matt was our best player in the 2017 Grand Final, in fact the Crouch brothers were our best in that final series.



Then put a vote in

Uh.... you're missing a few notables
  • Basset
  • Porps
  • Vince
  • Bock
  • Connell
I'd have a couple of these guys over Crouch or Robran for example...
Porps was great. Bernie I'm not sure. But he did win an B&F didn't he?

I'm not making any big calls after over rating Matt Robran though
 
This new one is a ridiculous comparison. C’mon man. You need to have players who are comparable in their positions and/or styles.

Example:

Welsh v Porplyzia

Sloane v Edwards

Robran v Mark Stevens

Brett James v Brett James

etc etc

Well, we are looking for the best Crows players, not the best CHF, best midfielder etc. Randomly chosen parings from the population of interest.
 
This one’s really unfair on Welsh though, plenty of people would pick him otherwise, but he isn’t going to beat Sloane
Perhaps Sloane is a better player then, and should be the one to go forward?
