thats a great stat

another data stat i wish existed is based on how many crows are playing elsewhere, and which club therefore is the highest ranked at producing great players, but then lose them to other clubs and they have amazing careers by being drafted by adelaide, but flourish further at the next club

crows would win.

If you want to go quickly, go alone.

In addition to:

Patrick Dangerfield
Jack Gunston
Jake Lever
Tyson Stengle
Charlie Cameron
Billy Frampton

Perhaps not necessarily flourishing, but a few more that come to mind that are former crows that were on other clubs lists in 2025:

Rory Atkins
Mitch McGovern
Elliot Himmelberg
Tom Doedee

I am sure there would be others too.

Yeah, I don’t want him back but I reckon the club will cave and throw more money at him again and then in 12 months time we will do it all again

Dimma would be ideal for him, living on the Gold Coast wouldn't.

I might be wrong but I thought Zorko was a rookie at the Suns

I just looked at his Wikipedia page and now I feel dirty...
In March 2009 the newly formed GC17 consortium invited a then 20-year-old Zorko to train with their under-18 TAC Cup team, which Zorko hoped would lead to a VFL contract with the club for the following season but Gold Coast's interest waned after two weeks.
