Crows delist Skippy, Obst and Gibson

[stan]

I think the crows should have tried to develop at least obst as a key forward. They seem to bve down on talls and yet are off loading some of the younger un tried talls on there list.

tad surprised HINGE'S name wasnt amongst those

When the numbers were low he was in the mix a couple of times during the season !!!

HE may have been in the mix but he wont be playing AFL

trades are win-win, my point! but as far as i can see what have the crows only lost by not trading him for something/anything? maybe im in a different world??? and why would the AFC come out and say there was interest in him but a deal couldnt be done if there wasnt?

Why would any club trade player X for player Y if player Y is not going to add to your list?

In other words the Crows knew they were going to delist Skipworth, and mooted trade wasn't going to add to their list i.e. would not be in the Crows top 35 players, why do the deal???

No matter what happened in that scenario Skipworth or his potential trade was going to get de-listed.

That is my reading of the situation which I admit not being close to the action could be quite wrong!!!!

I was thinking more of draft picks? surely the crows could advance one of their picks if they traded with a lower based side? yeah im not sure, im over it. just thought the crows didnt treat the lad the best, but thats AFL i suppose.

In regards to the crows developing Obst in to a key forward, over the years we have attempted to turn so many defenders in t forwards, I rather have an extra pick in the draft and target a young forward

I seen Edwards play earlier in the year and I was hoping the crows might have a crack at him, he can play

Maybe would could look @ maybe a Angwin or Watts type !!!!

I admit, the crows have not been successful in drafting and devloping key forwards

hopefully this draft can turn that poor record around
