Was he actually injured before or his fitness not up to standard?

Bloody oath

But I was born into a West Ham family not just picking a franchise so I had no choice.

West Ham actually prides itself on being mid table rubbish and as far from being the arrogant Crows Superstar fans that you will find in world sport. Even our song is about how we always stuff things up lol

I was a west ham / centrals supporter in the late 80’s, early 90’s talk about lucking out on what family you were born into at that point lol

Boy did I cop a lot

Another poor performance, kick 6 goals in a quarter and 3 in the other 3. Not mentally strong enough and the players are waiting for someone else to do the work

4 players recorded zero tackles. M.Crouch,Seedsmen,Kelly,Atkins
5 players recorded 1 tackle.

Just not desperate enough at the moment.

Caught up with a Crows mate on Sat night and told him I reckon they need to tank and cash in on Sloane and Lynch, and via this draft set themselves up for the next decade. He was VERY anti that, insisting their window is still well and truly open. TBH I just don't see it. All established stars at the wrong end age-wise. Shallow in ruck with Jacobs slowing down. Betts, while he'll still be decent, has his best footy behind him. Sloane and B Crouch look like they'll spend their remaining days being injury prone. Gibbs been a gun but likely has 2 or 3 years of decent footy left. Really think they need to load up on some future top end talent.

Atkins can’t lay a tackle, as that might mean some form of physical contact!

I think the Crows premiership drought can some what be attributed to their fear of ‘bottoming out’ and giving Port an edge in the membership/marketing world they exist in.

The stats which were posted on here a while back simply say you don’t win premierships without a few real high draft picks (Geelong being the only side to come close to bucking the trend but were fortunate with some father/son picks)

I’m starting to lean that way JK. Potentially could have 5 picks within the first 25 and have over 1 million in cap space with Sloane and Lynch moving on. Somehow put ourselves in the position to draft Lukcioius and Rankine
