Young guys progress

[Rusty81]

Firstly I am not a troll, i am asking this question out of genuine interest.

Can anyone give me a run down of how these guys have faired this year in the SANFL (League or reserves) and how far away you think they are from playing for the Crows?

James Moss
Tony Armstrong
Andy Otten (I realise he has debuted)
Jared Petrenko
Aaron Kite
Taylor Walker (I dont live under a rock i know he has been carving it up for Norwood)

Cheers in advance

All lacking consistency and power running at the moment. Very disappointing.

Armstrong: Been pretty impressive in the ressies but apparently has been too inconsistent to be given a go in the seniors as yet

Moss: Been pretty solid in the league side, will probably be retained as a rookie.

Otten: Destroying it for South as both a Midfielder ans forward. Will play a fair few AFL games next year

Patrenko: Gun, will be upgraded and will play games next year if not this year

Kite: Was a smoky selection but has been impressive. Probably still a while away from AFL level.

Walker: In cotton wool for next year, good enough to have an impact this year though imo.

Who's Taylor Walker?

all the new guy's have had good season's in the sanfl and i think the crows would be pretty happy i think taylor walker will debut this year and andy otten should get another crack at it i reackon we will have to wait to the NAB cup next year to see aaron kite and jarrad petrenko in action. while armstrong may take a while longer than that

Myke Cook seems to miss out on these type of discussions

Out of sight, out of mind?

your assessment is way off

For James Moss and Tony Armstrong to be playing SANFL league footy in year 1 would meet the crows expectations

For Andy Otten, Jared Petrenko, Aaron Kite and Taylor Walker to be playing league foorty week in and week out and to be consistently in the best players for their respective clubs has been a fantastic effort and the crows would be delighted with this progress

Nah Carl Spackler is right. I also feel all the youngster's contested marking should be more of a feature...

Hasn't played for most of the year, so no progress to report (other than hopefully some improvement with his injury).

Sounds like they are all finding their feet!

Cheers for your replies!!

Same goes for Brodie Martin! His developement has only been matched by Petrenko, and considering he has managed to break into a league side which is pretty strong, he is deserving of either elevation to the senior list next year or retained as a rookie.

Indeed. Training form too needs to be picked up a notch or two.
