The creserves vs the preserves? Hmm, the preserves, to outlast the creserves.

We have a great looking forward line, if the ball gets down there enough we should be able to finish. Has there ever been a better forward line at SANFL level?

F: Walker, Johnston, Porp
HF: Knights, McKernan, Callinan

Over the decades there have been plenty of good forward lines.
May be the best forward line of the era since the Crows came in but pre AFL days there were better forward lines
How soon we forget the great eras, most of those players you have named wouldnt be fit to clean the boots of the great SANFL players of the past

Just curious, Go Sharks - Did you previously follow on SANFL club before your AFL side got a Reserves side in our League competition?

You mean not involving John Butcher?

As much as I dislike Port im taking a forward line of
Brown, Abernathy, Hodges, Borlase, Williams, Smith over your side any day of the week.
The Port forward line in the 90's would massacre that Crows one, then you have the great sides of the 70's and 80's with far better line ups

Did Aba play forward much?

BoundaryRider84 · Post by **BoundaryRider84** » Thu May 01, 2014 10:43 pm

memory says he and buckley both had around 30 touches, hodges kicked 6. tylor missed out with a broken arm after kicking 97 goals for the year

Not sure BR84, they are just guys I remember towelling up Norwood several times through the 90's, could add guys like Tredrea, Waterhouse, Poole, Rohan Smith, Francis, Tylor who were around that time aswell. Probably some I have missed but any combination of those guys would be better than the Crows line up.
Its a shame a lot of people dont remember just how good the comp was

F ; Russell Ebert, Tim Evans, Ginevar
HF ; Craig Bradley, Dwayne Russell, Williams

I would say there has been many better looking forward lines. The Port one of the early 80s was unbelievable as was a Glenelg ones featuring the likes of Kernahan, Copping, Hodgeman, McGuiness and Tony Hall.

Perhaps you are very young but your miles off in your statement

Darryl Poole and Brett Chalmers in the 90's

Doesn't Knights play for Richmond now?

When did this happen?

bennymacca · Post by **bennymacca** » Thu May 01, 2014 11:18 pm

2 years ago? lol

Riley Knight now runs around for the crows, but he is a midfielder

Oh so some nobody who has been gifted a game of SANFL league footy is included by you crows fans in a discussion about the best forward line to ever grace the SANFL.
Pretty much sums up crows supporters, no surprise there
