HAWKS IN FOR CROWS MID?

HAWTHORN is in the box seat to secure out-of-favour Adelaide midfielder Brad Crouch, according to former Port Adelaide champion Kane Cornes.

Adelaide:


quote:

ADELAIDE’S midfield depth has been dealt a serious blow as revelations Brad Crouch has suffered another serious hamstring injury.

The talented but injury-prone young gun will miss the entire JLT Community Series and is in serious doubt for Round 1 as the Crows take a precautious approach.

quote:

I was down at training and left pretty soon after it finished, while the players signed autographs. Brad was sitting out the front of the cafe, in his civvies. I had a chat to him and asked him if he was ok - said he'd mildly strained the string again and it was the 3rd time this pre-season. Said he couldn't feel it when he ran, but when kicking it was pretty sore. Was going to see a specialist sometime in the near future - he seemed pretty flat about the whole thing.

Check to see if Randall, Phillips, and Marinoff are available

It really does highlight the utter disaster that was our trade period, and the total dysfunction within the football department.

For pick 43, and an upgrade from 71 to 67 :thumbsup:

Such a shitshow, and you'll be surprised to learn all of it is being run through the insiders and old mates club, f.ex the guy who blew the Gibbs trade is the son of the guy was was banned for crafting the illegal Tippett contract.

viney has been named co-captain to join nate jones in the role

not sure i agree with that, jones does a fantastic job and while viney is great on the field he can barely string two words together in front of a mic and is still very young. would have much preferred him having at least another year or two under the belt before stepping up

Yeah I really don't see the need for it tbh. Viney was obviously going to be the next captain, why not have him as vice captain for a while because Jones has really grown into the role

its a bit of an interesting one, viney very nearly took out the b&f in 2015 despite missing 7 games and then won the 2016 award, so there's not much else he could do from his point of view to state his intent beyond 'be older'. i guess we will see how he goes, but it feels a bit unnecessary when jones is already doing such a great job and has a number of years on viney, its not like it was a 'now or never' moment from a timing point of view.

Erin Phillips? Is gay and has a partner who just had a kid, it was mentioned last week she was playing on almost no sleep.

Still. A much larger percentage of players in the aflw will be gay compared to the afl.

Maybe the aflw needs a pride round.

Ground was mostly full. I thought Adelaide generally outworked the Dogs throughout the match and also looked for the best avenue to goal where everyone that got inside 50 for the Dogs was super hungry.

Definitely have to reassess, that Crows forward line have strength and speed. They really punished the Dogs. A bit of biff in the game too. Also, wtf is up with the tipping, it still thinks the game is ongoing.
