No!


Not even one of them for an Ellis or a Fantasia?
Surely.


Nope

Would have thought a premiership player leaving for more money was bigger news


But that's where clubs go from 10th to 4th, their depth. You're losing what was already questionable depth.

It had to happen, but a few injuries and you're in the deep end.


Got a few to fill their spots; Wilson, McAdam, Doedae, Himmelberg.

I think they have something they are working on too, something like Grundy or Wright


Bar Doedee none of them could lock a spot down in the last two years though, what makes you think they can now?

Neither could CYE or Greenwood yet it’s the end of the world we are losing them

Greenwood is in any sides starting 18 surely.
Always looks like he has the ability to tear a game apart when I see him play.

Could never understand why he was dropped.

You can’t be serious

Could accept him signing 2 years but not for 4

Serious question, has there ever been more player trade requests for a single club than the Crows this year. Obviously im talking about under the current systems in place.

With the amount of players apparently wanting to leave, you’d have to admit the crows have done a pretty good job at keeping it all in-house for so long. A major distraction to the playing group so kudos for not completely turning up the toes in 2019.

Then you should apply for the coaching role, you’re perfectly qualified!

Is your substance abuse liquid or powder?

You’ve lost it.

Starting 18 in 3-4 sides at very best. Even coming as far back as Carlton has.

S**t foot skills more interested in pointing to the sky after a goal, after a terrible family loss. None the less ordinary AFL player at best.
you've gota keep on keep'n on .........

Good luck up for the Gold Coast though with younger more talent med kids around him.

Another question. Are these guys redeemable in a new enviornment? Especially those that were around when Walsh was murdered. This situation is unprecedented in football. It will be interesting to see how the ex Crows go next season. Perhaps Don Pyke actually did a hell of a job.

Very well said.

Add Dean Bailey to that equation plus a raft of close personal losses.

He makes the starting 18 in any side that didn’t make the 8.
There’s 10.

He’d be a better option at Port than Marshall, Watts or even Westhoff now as a 3rd tall.
Can run through the middle too which is an advantage.

He’s no superstar but I’d take him at Carlton given what we pay some of our spuds.

Apparently Pyke not attending the BnF (sorry if discussed already).
Making me think more likely he just wanted out like the players do.
