Which team out of Adelaide, North and Hawthorn has the better youth?

[Elmer_Hauser]

I’ll be honest haven’t watched all the Crows games this year watched a few but can’t say I’ve seen much of Soligo …….. has he had a good year how many coaches votes has he racked up this year?

Been a bit up and down from what I have seen (compared to last year) arguably a tad disappointing, but plenty of great young players have had the second year blues.

Probably needed a spell in the SANFL a couple of times this season for a breather (which I think probably adds legit criticsm from Crows fans to Nicks as coach)

Elijah Hollands is someone they need to have a serious crack and wouldn't cost too much in trade capital.

You guys started a Jake Soligo will be the best player in the league thread lol.

Agree with that, he is still making too many mistakes. All the tools are there though, except for perhaps size.

Don't know about 'average' but I got some laugh reacts by Adelaide supporters from a pretty irrefutable, fact filled post.

I mean - I didn't even bother to highlight the coaches votes:

J. Sicily 52
T. Stewart 52
H. Andrews 47
S. Taylor 45
D. Moore 45
C. Wilkie 45

Want to guess how many coaches votes Nick Murray has?

None, ever in his career.

I mean there are 33 key defenders who have picked up coaches votes this season, Murray is NOT one of the 33. I think it's pretty safe to say he is not in contention for AA.

Indeed, nowhere near it. A good honest footballer who plays his role well for us but no AA.

I bet you a thousand bucks we win a flag before North or the Crows…

 

[Blackhawk42]

No banter tonight.

Nothing but solidarity.

Crows absolutely robbed by a dodgy goal umpiring decision.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Checked the score at one point, saw this….

 

[HairyO]

Roos 17th, Hawks 16th, Crows 13th.

Maybe our youth arent so far apart afterall.

3 wins and about 30% points between Adelaide and Hawthorn.
Hawks with 5 more wins than North.

Ladder isn’t a perfect metric but surely you know this post isnt sensible.

There goes the constant “atleast we are pushing for a spot on the finals” argument.

B Smith outstanding off half back yet again.

Crouch and Laird got an arm chair ride from ROB. Sadly Crouch one foot out the door.

Having watched really really closely…
I’m very underwhelmed by Fogarty and Tilthorpe is a shadow of his drafted self. If it weren’t seasons end for Adelaide he’d be headed to the Parade next week.

You know it was a tongue in cheek post right?

Also the discussion is about youth not which team is carried by a racist.

Wait til after we beat Melbourne. Then its only 2 games difference !

And you lot get to play WCE twice. Thoroughly unfair and a gift only reserved for the very poor teams.

Had to go have a look at the stats to verify your claim.

Pedlar was sub and had 12 disposals in a half with 0 clearances from 6 CBA’s and he’s 3rd best on ground? That’s a pretty low bar.

Rankine kicked a single goal and had just 2 score involvements. Best on!

Soligo got his hands on the footy at least this week which is a nice change, but he still only had 1 CBA and 2 clearances with most of his footy had in the back half.

Just don’t mention Laird with 31 disposals and 9 clearances! Or Crouch with 26 and 7!

Laird and Crouch were in our best.

But so were Pedlar and Soligo.

Yes Pedlar only played a half, but was one of the key reasons we got back into the game. He absolutely was in our best players.

Rankines influence was huge, our best forward, not easy to play. 2 goals disallowed possibly leading me to overstate his influence, but please don't look at the stats to inform your debate.

I want saying others didn't play well, but this is a youth thread.

Crouch worst game since returning, Laird solid as usual.

You still think we’re reliant on Sloane, you have no credibility.

Subbing Sloane for Pedlar flipped the game on its head

 

[Blackhawk42]

Always happy to give credit where it's due.

Pedlar has fantastic in the second half.

Never even mentioned Sloane.

I do note though that he did have 9 disposals, 2 clearances and 7 tackles from 5 CBA’s from 42 minutes on the ground.

Pedlar has those numbers and he’s in the best 3 though, I guess.

Lol I didn’t say you did this game.

but you’ve saying for weeks we’re reliant on him, your brain is as cooked as Sloane’s legs

It’s a literal fact that Sloane is still top 3 for CBA’s in 2023 at the Crows.

I'm not sure why you bother, surely they're having a laugh?

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Hawthorn will be pushing for a finals position next year imo

 

[kriles76]

Liked the look of Henry Hustwaite. Didn’t look overawed and was pretty good working between the arcs - very measured for a kid on his debut. 15 touches, 5 tackles, 2 goals and no turnovers.
