@Crickettrag1965 If he leaves to go to WCE they will throw the Gibbs line offers just to acquire him. Carlton needed a clean out last year and had that rebuild year now.

@mccormack_b Not good ….. Sadly for Carlton they won’t get as much as they need for him to kick start their rebuild

AFC CROWS 🟦🟥🟨 Plenty of Crows fans talking about ex SA Carlton players this morning as potential trade targets ? ZEROHANGAR says rumours are growing .. Either of the two below, players we should entertain pursuing ? 🤔

@Crickettrag1965 He’s the Fyfe 2.0 They tried to push him forward but he couldn’t get his arms above his head much like Cripps

@mccormack_b Very true …

@Crickettrag1965 He averages half a goal a game and half a behind a game. He just doesn’t kick the ball enough which might be a deficiency in his game. He isn’t the type of player like Danger who could cause havoc to an opposing defence.

@mccormack_b Like your analysis … Don’t think we need Weitering at all.. but I’m always perplexed that Cripps doesn’t score more … very surprised, wonder if he went to another Club whether they’d use him ore forward also he increases his goal tally

@Crickettrag1965 I think if they were available, A- we’d have to give up Woz and Rash for Weitering and would command $1m + salary B- Cripps would be a massive boot for our mids but doesn’t add leg speed. Plus we’d have to give up the world for him. Unfortunately he doesn’t hit the scoreboard.

@mccormack_b Fair call.. but a fair few of respondents on here have said they wouldn’t want either even if they were available … Are you surprised at that ?

@The_KJ_ @AFL @kanecornes @sportsbetcomau He went past the footy to take the player.

@AFL @kanecornes @sportsbetcomau It was a fraction late, but clearly was not high. Why is Cornes so disingenuous all the time?

"I'm not sure what he was thinking." @kanecornes takes a look at Zak Butters' bump on Joel Freijah. Watch First Up now, thanks to @sportsbetcomau: afl.com.au/video/1514942

@Crickettrag1965 Get through the game and get some contest footy into his body. He won’t kick a bag, it’s just making sure he pulls up well. I think a couple week stint to build some match fitness. The goes with 🤧 just get through the game unscathed. But I think the fans will love it more

SANFL CROWS 🟦🟥🟨 Cannot wait to see these two players back in SANFL action today .. 💪💪 Particularly Darcy Fogarty, running thru the SANFL did Soligo a world of good a few weeks back .. Hoping the same result for Darcy 🤗 Hopefully both get thru playing well .. ♥️ ♥️

@JoshJenkins24 Would McGovern make the side if he wasn’t playing forward

Would this ESSENDON x CARLTON combo play finals this season!??

@AdelaideYid @bazz_27 Cold wet windy night in Tassie tells me it’s a stay home and rug up Tex

@bazz_27 Not risking him in Tassie mate 3 weeks off a hammy zero chance he plays that game

Have the month off king

@JoshJenkins24 Solly goal gets somehow over turned. Butters soft push results goal Milera goal, Rash soft push in the side. ANB held without it no free, Keays holding the ball next play no free. Izak ran 9-10 steps ran to far. The umps did everything to try not let 🐦‍⬛ win

The sport cannot afford Port to win after that free kick. Woweeeeee

@flag_crows @PedlarFan I know he was drafted as a mid as a junior but doesn’t mean he automatically plays mid in the AFL. Perhaps he doesn’t have the tank for long minutes in the midfield.

@mccormack_b @PedlarFan You must of missed his games before he was drafted? he was electric dynamic and quick and could easily hit the goals from 50m on the run, you also know he was drafted as a midfielder right?

Interested to hear the thoughts of crows fans. Obviously our midfield mix is a concern and a lack of quality midfield depth. Not everyone will agree but here’s my brutal ranking. A Dawson B Rachele, Rankine C Peatling, Berry, Soligo D Edwards, Dowling 1/3

@bazz_27 @cammart32 Trigg Tippett saga 2018 list management Jones, McHenry, Hamill Camp Walsh murder McLeod cut ties with club Stengle Crouch dilema Dean Bailey suspension

@cammart32 Its a long list. Tippett gate Camp Walsh murder Are the clear top 3 of the top of my head. Then we have stengle, Tex bernie and Jaensch rat pack? Dawson family tragedy. No doubt im missing a big one?

What would be the Crows top 5 offfield dramas/issues in its history?

@akl_1990 @PedlarFan Take away Neale and Bailey, would the others mentioned get a role in our side as it sits? Neale on a 2yr deal whilst he lacks the raw pace he has the footballing IQ which makes him the inside 🐂 he can feed it out to the likes on Ranks, Rash etc.

@PedlarFan I rate Darcy Wilson. Other players like George Stevens, Ed Allan, Sam Marshal could add and complement our mix. If Bailey and/or Neale don't come then grabbing a fringe player or two with our current group could be enough.

@flag_crows @PedlarFan Pedlar doesn’t have the tank for midfield. Can barely get near it most games.

@PedlarFan Peatling has the potential but they keep giving him these shit tagging roles and fuck me would they just give pedlar a shot

@bazz_27 Only issue is JP has some pace compared with Solly and Bez Agree that ibis and Moose hasn’t worked but Moose does provide a marking option and does compete. Berry had an off game but has been solid this season. The injection of Charlie has been great.

This was an interesting listen. Rate what he is saying. For anyone who cbf. Thilthorpe 2nd ruck and move maley and ibis out (think we can agree that hasnt worked) Soligo in midfield over peatling and berry. Need to pick a 4th midfielder and they should be our focus. He like peds

So ROB in for McAndrew and Co??? Oh please NOOOOOOO The only reason you would do it was because of physical size. Yes ROB win HO but he is useless around the ground, the security guards have more of an impact than he does.

@RonBertag @JakeThomasB1 I don’t know why the 🐦‍⬛ extended him by another season. Just holding back the development of another player.

@JakeThomasB1 No one has mentioned Laird but I think he’s flying under the radar and lucky to have a spot! Slow play, long loopy kicks down the line, turnovers - unfortunately I think we’ve moved past keeping those guys in the team if we’re serious about going anywhere!

Surely if we actually have standards then a certain guy in the leadership group is dropped this week. Take out the Blues game, 4 goals in 6 games. Get back to work in the sanfl 💪

@Crickettrag1965 But if Bailey comes then do you chase Kade when Rash or Ranks can play that role

@mccormack_b Good point … probably Kade .. because we really don’t have a true dedicated crumbing little man up forward

Ok Crows fans .. Kade Chandler or Tom Sparrow ? Both RFA’s this year

@WilliamsConnorJ @godra61 If everyone was fit and firing and playing roles Edwards 4 DC 🫎 out for 🌫️ (although provides a chop out in ruck) Muzz 4 ☘️ (unlucky though Muzz) Bond 4 Hinge Taylor 4 🤧 Pedlar 4 Solly Draper isn’t coming in for anyone at this stage. He’s behind Edwards and probably Billy

@godra61 1. Cumming for Ah Chee 2. Finbar is perfect depth. Fog likely higher quality overall. 3. Is there a world where Muzz comes out and Butts and Keane play together? 4. Pedlar for Soligo 5. Taylor for Curtin 6. Nank for Dawson 7. Bond or Laird for Hinge. 7. Isn't pushing anyone out

Who makes way for these guys when healthy and ready: 1. Ah Chee 2. Fog 3. Keane 4. Soligo 5. Curtin 6. Hinge 7. Sid
