Crows 2014

[Footy Smart]

In my opinion I believe he would be a better choice than Lyon as he finds the ball a bit and that left foot can be damaging

.

Agreed, Lyons isnt up to IMO. I cant think of why Sando played him over Crouch and Grigg last year. A year of development at AFL wasted.

[kickinit]

that would be the hope - both the crouch boys can accumulate and win their own ball, so hopefully that means danger can be used forward of the ball a bit more often and really hurt teams.

Wont hurt teams if he is running around the 50% eft like he was this year.

Most inside mids have similar numbers, for obvious reasons. But yeah, we need to give him space

[Psyber]

Would Matt Crouch be looked at, to take over from Scott Thompson when he is done?

How long do crows fans think Thommo has left?

I think Thommo is slowing down a bit and may need to send less time in the middle.
I've been wondering how he would go at half-back or in a forward pocket.

I think he plays in the mids or not at all. Ive heard a few people say he is 'slowing down' yet his stats would say he is still winning his fair share of the footy.......

You could sam the same about Boyd. Both on ageing legs, but rack up the numbers because they are smart footballers and run angles well to get to packs.

His stats are quite good FS, but i think Thommo gets exposed on the defensive side. IIRC, Priddis played h2h on Thommo last year, and killed him on the rebound, as Thommo IMO, doesnt have a big enough tank to sustain 2 way footy for an entire game.

Yep your probably right there Valleys no arguement on the 2 way running. If we didnt turn the footy over so much as a side it probably wouldnt be so bad, but while we kick at 50% it will certainly help the mid puch FWD and expose that.

Talk that Richmond tried to trade Pick 12 to Adelaide for Scott Thompson but Scott declined

[dedja]

Surely you jest ... he's not worth a 3rd round pick and a couple of bottle tops

[Brodlach]

Been reported a couple of places in Victoria

Sounds absurd to me but their recruiting of late has been a little odd... What did they pay for Chaplin?

[Brodlach]

Luke Thompson, Alex Spina and James Battersby all delisted today

[Coach Bombay]

I reckon we held on to Luke for too long and he probably lost confidence whilst not getting a game. Had some talent but was too slow on the quicker smaller fowards and not strong enough for the big power fowards

[bennymacca]

Yeah he just wasn't the right type of athlete for afl level. Will go back and dominate sanfl on the smaller tall forwards

Lyons has signed a new deal with the crows

Great news for the crows haters out there

Another genuinely average footballer stuck on their list

whufc might be a little harsh with his comments, but really not that far off the mark.

Lyons is no world beater and lacks pace, something Adelaide admit they need.

[MW]

Agree but you can't have 40 world beaters on your list.
