Welsh most definitely needs to leave home and live with a professional teammate

Craig didn't like his talent also
That off season lost welsh, mattner and hudson, part john reid with his non market wages and part craig implementing his crowbots theory to full effect
Sirens should have been going off with hudson and mattner in particular losing such quality so easily

Neither was welsh was he? If we didn’t need to match a bid technically we haven’t used FS benefits to get him (aside from having him in our SANFL team / FS squads)

Right you are!!!
If we didn't nominate him, someone may have taken him.
We have benefited from the F/S system here, because there's not much point of bidding that late, so the clubs just left him alone.

That was part tongue in cheek with Craig's preference for system over talent. But perhaps you forget how reid said welshy and hudson had some issues fitting within the craigy program as for reasons why they left. I'm sure john not paying the right salary played a part too!

Other clubs bid late didn’t they?
Pretty sure there were some late un-matched bids.

Scotty quit the club and entered the PSD in 2007 after he was called in to explain some of his behavioural issues. From memory, Nathan Bassett was the one who reported him to the cub.

Saying the right things
“I came here with the Crows academy a lot growing up… I was about 13 or 14 when I started coming to the father-son academies and that was awesome,” Welsh said.
“(But) it was a totally different feeling, walking back in here after being drafted.
“Everybody gave me positive energy and I’ve had a great time so far.
“It’s unbelievable.”
Welsh’s draft night was made extra special by finding out he would be wearing No.17 on the back of his guernsey - the same number his dad donned during his 129 AFL games at the Crows.
Scott presented the guernsey to his son on Thursday night at Tyler’s junior footy club - Henley Sharks - where family and friends gathered to watch night two of the draft.
“It’s unreal. It was a cracker night, there was a big crowd (at Henley Football Club), all my family and friends were there,” Welsh said.
“I didn’t know (I’d be wearing the No.17) and my Dad didn’t know, either.
“Adam (Kelly) rocked up, showed us the guernsey and that’s when Dad started to get pretty emotional.
“When I walked into the Club and saw my name on the No.17 (locker), I took a photo and sent it to Dad straight away.”
Welsh had been training with a few of the Crows players during the off-season, with his main focus to improve his fitness.
“I want to be as fit as I can, I have a lot of work to do, but it’s going to be a good year,” Welsh said.
“I have been out here running nearly every day and I went out to Karen Rolton Oval with the boys for a couple of main sessions as well.
“I got messages from (the players) last night after it all happened and they said ‘head down, bum up and get as fit as you have ever been, and work hard’.”

Another benefit of him being ingrained at the club already, being able to train with everyone before pre season officially goes back. Love to see this attitude, he clearly wants it.
Now I have a mental image of Welsh tipping back an extra pint while Bassett watches on and throws his mouthguard in disgust

Welsh seems like a footballers footballer. Can clunk a grab, nice kicking action, good on the lead, some forward smarts.
Hopefully part of his 2024 involved working on the other stuff. Defensive action, what you do when you don't have the ball. All the stuff that might prevent a raw newbie from playing in his first season or two.

Has the talent, knows he needs to get much fitter.
Tanking over, time to get the body AFL ready.
Based on the interview earlier, it sounds like he struggled with the bigger bodies in the seniors, and so he put on a bunch of size to help him compete. But it obviously slowed him down a bit.

Really good to hear him say my teammates have told me to knuckle down and get fit and respects them all enough to take on that feedback and get out there and start running with them.
