Hawthorn.

Even if they don't have the high picks of North or even Adelaide, they just develop players so well.

Nash, Worpel & Newcombe shouldn't be the bones of an elite midfield on pure draft position, but it is. It's a testament to their culture and Mitchell's genius as a coach.

Still lacking a second tall to support Lewis, and assistance down back, but the midfield is sorted. They'll win a flag within 5 years.

Reckon our key position stocks are looking better than most.

Fogarty & Thilthorpe up forward should be ready to takeover from Tex, with father & son Welsh likely to come in once Tex hangs up his boots.

Key defensive stocks have been tested with injuries to Murray & Butts, which may be a blessing given our reluctance to give form depth a go.

Both Keane & Borlase have stood up well since their Crows debuts over past 2 weeks. They now have a year to compete with Butts for a key defensive position, to partner Murray - the Crows most improved in 2023 - on his return from ACL.

Prefer Worrell as 3rd tall, but has shown he is comfortable as a key defender.

Will get a good look at our future this weekend with a test against a quality Lions forward line this weekend.

Using pick 6 in that 2019 on MsAsey did hurt. Imagine a Caleb Serong or Hayden Young in that crows midfield?

How is it you can't grasp the argument in this thread made by Adelaide supporters including yourself?

It’s pathetic you’re not capable of making an argument without using strawman or straight up lying.
Show me where I’ve said the ladder alone means the crows have better youth?

This rubbish is ironic because idiot trolls like you tried make this argument about hawthorn 12 months

You are using a straw man to attack others for straw manning. Irony.

how is it a strawman?

The straw man is the claim that either side is saying that ladder alone is their entire argument.

Not possible when our kids are winning everything.

Except games? lol

We finished off the season well. How did you guys go?

What awards did your kids win again? Participation awards don't count.

Finished pretty well. Beat the minor premiers and another finalist.

So you've changed your opinion? You agree North and Hawks youngsters are ahead of the Crows youth?

and how was your last game, the one at home against an interstate team with nothing to play for?

We can’t all knock off the perennial power house that is the Gold Coast Suns.

lol this is another strawman. I did not say this

 

[Roby]

I'm asking you. What is your opinion.

You can't conclude it's a strawman if I'm asking you questions; unless you genuinely believe these are rhetorical.

we weren't expected to win. we did.
you were expected to win. you didn't

Maybe the Hawks aren't as good as what their blinkered fans think.

 

[Caligo]

Just ignoring the fact we smashed both top 2 teams eh? Fair enough. I would too were I a North supporter. When did North last beat a minor premier?

 

[The Jet From Poowong]

we weren't expected to win. we did.

20+ weeks of losses and you are still on here sprouting crap

No I don’t agree, but the point of contention w hasn’t my opinion but the reasoning behind it

You don't agree. Why are Adelaide youth better performed than Hawks' and North's?

 

[Mr MysteryGuest]

You don't agree. Why are Adelaide youth better performed than Hawks' and North's?

Higher talent not necessarily better performed.

They’re all ‘youth’ but hawthorns standout mid prospects are a year or 2 older than Adelaide’s.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

You don't agree. Why are Adelaide youth better performed than Hawks' and North's?

Simple answer, they’re not.

Go have a look at their predictions for their top 10 in their B&F. A single player 22 and under.
