holy ****!!

 

[Robbo's my hero]

I hear that the Crows players had a bonding session on Sunday. Exclusive footage.

 

[teagueyubeauty]

Wtf haha there’s some fkd up people in this world

 

[thylacine60]

What happened to fogarty? I remember some people on here crapped their pants when we took O'Brien instead of him.

seems to have flamed early but dropped solid rocket fuel and sputtered out into the sanfl...............

 

[BIGGUS 64]

Wtf haha there’s some fkd up people in this world

Hell yeah, every year you read about another Aussie or two who thought it would be fun to run with the bulls and end up getting gored.

To make it worse for the Crows, they stacked their reserves with Gibbs, Betts, Jacobs, Douglas, Greenwood, etc and still lost to Glenelg!!

In defence of the Crows, that Glenelg team did include Aaron Joseph & Luke Reynolds.

The Stocker pick swap will be a win win for both clubs

If a resident Blue IT guru can superimpose SOS's face over the lead singer in this video clip, and likewise Reid's face over that of the guitarist I think it might communicate the nature of the Stocker swap most perfectly.

Carlton highest possible finish is 10th,

Mate, we can finish 8th. It's possible to make the finals from here.

We need to win all 4 games, and increase our percentage over that of the Dogs as we do so, and for other results to go our way.

 

[BigFrizz36]

Still a great talent, unfortunately Pyke wants to play experience thinking they will make finals

Only going on crows board (so take with a grain of salt) but has been trialled at CHB which didnt work out. Since returned to the forward line but has struggled.

Has also been rumoured to be one of the seven players that wants out of the crows.

True. But to finish on 10 wins and make the eight with a weak percentage the following things all have to happen:
- Carlton win all remaining games.
- Adelaide lose all remaining games.
- Port can only win one game (they play Sydney and Freo in SA)
- Hawthorn only win once (they play the Suns)
- Fremantle only win once (preferably against Port)
- Bulldogs need to beat Freo and Adelaide, lose every other match and finish with a lower percentage than us.
- St Kilda need to beat Adelaide in Adelaide, Freo in Melbourne, lose every other match, and finish with a lower percentage than us.
- North need to beat Hawthorn and Port in Melbourne but lose every other match.
- Sydney need to lose twice in the next 5, and can win three games but must beat St Kilda at the SCG. Beating Port in Adelaide would be helpful too.

So yes you are right, but it's not realistic.

First NB's game I saw Stocker play and I thought - Luke Hodge.
Luke Hodge the player and obviously not the leader, but so many traits showed up that took me to thinking of Hodge.

Strength & aggression.
Good kicking on either foot.
Good kicking off one step.
Fair mark in the contest.
Good tackler.
Good vision.
Unflappable.

Where Stocker got involved, he just looked like a seasoned player.
Not the least bit worried about Stocker, whether we would have gone at pick #9 this year or pick #11.

I like your post.

Love Stock, the player and the base for a good minestrone

 

[ajb72]

Been some rumours around we are into Brad Crouch. FA next year

I'd like to get Ned McHenry

Soapy, if we got all the players you would like to get, we would need a squad of 80.

 

[jooce8891]

Is Brad the good one or the s**t one?

McHenry would be a great get, surely they can’t let him go. They’d be an even bigger rabble than they appear.

brad is a much better player compared to matt

 

[Soapy V]

Not really. Just 3-4 quality players and I’ll be happy

 

[jooce8891]

still waiting on Login to tell us the 10 players better then stocker in this years draft...

Brads the good one with a glass body, Matt is very good at getting 35 disposals and doing SFA with them.

Malcom Blight just said on SEN that Adelaide should Trade both crouch brothers to GC for picks 1 & 2 in the draft, so Adelaide have 1,2 & 3 apparently GC will jump at it.

So no crouch for us

Side note I was 20km out Merridan (WA) driving 110km/h when he said it and almost lost control laughing when he suggested it, no way they are worth that, I think Blighty has lost it

Don Pyke, the gift that keeps on giving.

 

[Blutopia]

Don Pyke, the gift that keeps on giving.

I think 2017 was just a sPYKE in the Crows performance. All DONe now...

gc should just fold if that happens, surely its in jest?

The bull looked pretty happy to me! Paint a #9 on its back.

No he was serious, apparently GC would prefer that over two new kids, of course Gerard didn’t pull him up on that.

If GC was going to shop those two picks, which isn’t a bad idea, there would be clubs lining up to give them better than the crouch brothers surely. Neale was 1 first round pick and not as good, he is suggesting that one crouch brother is worth more than Neale
