Thillthorpe is more than just a capable ruck forward. He can do things very few big Ken can do. He just needs to stay healthy. He is very mobile. He has a great set of hands. He can kick bunches of goals. He is a freak below his knees. His issue is getting a decent run of it.

Sounds like mail from a drunk, second cousin, twice removed. Will is a MASSIVE Crows fan. He would absolutely come here, infact, it's either Sydney or Adelaide.

They just need that missing peice of the puzzle.

Thank God.

The issue is more this. When the talent is good in the Academies then you get them all at a discount, but when your talent isn't there then you get to take from the rest of Australia. It's called having your cake and eat it. I think if you want to prosper when the talent is good, then you can...

The GC and GWS had cap issues after their kids all became good players. No different to any other club. Now, why is it that Sydney don't tend to bleed talent back to other states, but GWS does? Why is it that Brisbane no longer has an issue, and in fact has attracted a number of high quality...

Not every player has to go into the midfield. Was Eddie Betts best value in the midfield or forward line? Is Charlie Cameron more valuable in the forward line or midfield. I want to see Izak where he will do the most damage, and that's kicking goals. He can go into the midfield, but he should...

Yeah, that's the issue with Fog. He struts around like a 1980s Tom Sellick, but he isn't a confident as he appears. Very much someone who needs to play well, to keep playing well. Plus, he did have some mental health issues previously, so we hope he isn't in a down spot at the moment.

There is things we don't know. Maybe this is the way the club thinks is best to blood him. He has gotten a taste, and now his nerves would be lessened. Being a KFD is probably the worst position for a young kid to be exposed to at the highest level. He is up against full bodied and experienced...

I would be happy to have three Lairds. Two in the backline, and one in the middle.

Was a massive Crows fan for what it's worth.

Leave the Port anti SANFL speeches to the Port board. The issue is the amount of money the AFL puts into Jr development in Vic compared to what it does in SA and WA. How would the Vic talent look like if the VFL had to fund it instead of the AFL? It's been reported that some of the U18 Vic...

Adelaide prioritised defenders and forwards in their rebuild. It's easier to find midfielders than KKP. We have an excellent young backline with Michaelanny, Curtin, Worrell, Keane etc, and the forward line has Fog, Rankine, Rochelle, Thilthorpe, Pedler and Cook. We get Welsh this year in the...

Rory Sloane for Adelaide. Travis Boak and Robbie Gray are two from Port who stayed loyal even after big money offers from Victorian clubs.

Rory's a legend of the club. When he first got drafted by the Crows her cried and didn't want to come over. He did come and got in the team pretty quickly. He was a massive St Kikda fan and they really pushed to try and get him back, as did other clubs in Vic. He resisted those calls and even...

Won't happen. The visuals of a North ending up with pick 10 instead of pick 1, where maybe there top 5 are a level above the next five, would never be good.

I think there is good news for some here. The Crows have a potential top 10 Father Son pick next year, so it's pretty set that the AFL are going to change the rules around FS.

So where are we expecting a bid around for Welsh at this point in time? Would be a top 5 pick in this draft I think.

The AFL is bizarre. They bring in a program like the Northern Academies and the NGAs, to increase the amount of good talent coming from those areas that the AFL has deemed are under represented. The minute they start to bare fruit, and be successful, they then try to shut it down. The other...

Cam we delist and then relist as a rookie?

I'm fine with clubs giving players long term deals. They are only ever given to big time players, and as we have seen, it in no way stops the player from changing teams. All ot does is give the club some long term hold on the player.

What does Melbourne know about him that's making them want him out? Massive red flags for any club looking to take him on.

By all accounts, he has some personality issues, aside from his mental health ones. Not really loved in the change rooms by the other players is the word.

No, Adelaide actually had his value right. It was GWS who over valued him. It's obvious now that he was not worth what GWS wanted for him, so you should be questioning GWS list managers on why they thought he was worth an early second rounder. Adelaide was correct. GWS was wrong. But, like I...

I always wonder why clubs put so much effort into getting a player to join their team, when they think he is worth sweet FA. McAdam isn't some back up ruckman, or a player that you are chasing for depth, he is a.player who you expect to be in the side all year, and kicking goals. You obviously...

Dude, if you are that salty about Hatley still, you can pick him up for free as a desisted FA. You can get him back for the same price we paid.

He can play, can kick goals, and is quite mobile. He plays a good game and you think he has turned the corner, then he goes quiet again. Maybe with going to the same team as his brother, it might spur him on.

Don't be surprised if Port come for Borlase.

Interesting that there has been no movement yet with the Crows re-signing Borlase yet. His games at the end of the season were excellent and shows he has a future in the AFL as a defender. We have Murray out with an ACL as well as Doedee, do we do need him in the team. I have suspicions that...

In rugby there are tackles from behind, in front and from the sides. There is no increased risk of ACL from any of them. Reality just does not bare that out.
