Congratulations to Shaun and Doug on the "coup" of 2004 - recruiting this pea heart. Best $20K the Eagles have ever got on a platter. We recommend Dale Ellis as his replacement, and I hear Luke Toia and Paul Allison are looking for the "last stop".

Do agree with this one in the sense that Rehn would have known all about Crowell from the time they were together at the Crows and perhaps the Eagles knew something that Rehn and Co. didn't. Perhaps it was injuries but he certainly didn't play up to his ability at West Adelaide.

I suppose after he did his knee in on Adelaide Oval in 2003, he wasn't going to be the same player, so a handy pickup, that $20,000.

Yes, he was a waste of $20,000 as it turned out.

At the time, it didn't stop several SANFL clubs, not only West, from trying to get him.

We've got our money back though, Thebby, for Dabrowski.

true, several clubs were chasing him and even at one time i wanted to sturt to get him, but after knowing about his injury, i was glad we didnt, turned out for the best too

Does anyone know whther Crowell is going to continue playing or has he pulled the pin completely ?

Worst recruit ever was Craigh Burroughs.

Not as bad as Stuart Wigney's last effort when he joined Westies.

He'd be a bit worse than Troy Gray, but none of them would get close to Nick Trask, Brisbane to West.

$20,000 for Dabrowski??? Redandblack we have not even recruited him. Surprised this rumour is still doing the rounds. Who is your source?

We have recruited Dabrowski. He was in Oval Ave offices in the last week. I am one of the support staff at the club. Plus he was at training last night at the beach with the team.

Mr Fuller, I have to admit that my source is "MightyEagles".

Thebbie69, Crowell is going to play in the Yorke Peninsula League at Paskeville under his father who is coaching there. [/img]

Chuck in David Strooper and Scott Jordan, into that lot too, Christ if premierships were handed out for the worst recruiting we'd be the champion club of the 90 and early 00s.......

I believe there is a certain pic doing the rounds, involving a certain "poster" giving David Strooper a man-cuddle...

Nup, Darren Burton was the worst ever recruit. At least he didn't cost as much as Burrows.

Thanks for him redandblack the bulldogs ruckman did not know how to play against an eagles ruckman who was Mobile could get his own ball and need I go on !!

Go you mighty eagles who cares were we get them from as long as our colours end up on top of the chimney !!

I was happy to see him help you beat Centrals, micky.

He played well. Our loss, but the reason he left us is no longer a factor, so I'm looking forward.
