Crows 2015

I like that Adelaide have gone with the Yellow one because it's actually one of there colours, unlike white. I've wanted Adelaide to do it earlier because IMO clubs should be more creative and look at using their primary colours in their clash gurnseys instead of opting for the easy option that is white as the main colour. Too much white in the game for mine, great more creative!

The yellow looks like the training top from the early 90's that the injured group wore at training....

Sauce Jacobs extends contract until the end of 2019!

While I expect Goldstein to be AA ruckman and perhaps Natanui on the bench, I'd say the AA selectors must have Jacobs in their discussions. Once again he has proven to be extremely durable and IMO Adelaide's most important player.

Without him Adelaide would be a different side.

They are a huge improvement on what has been dished up over the past few years.

Is the yellow strip in between the red and blue strips on the yellow clash jumper necessary? They should merge the red and blue and make it of similar style to the bulldogs jumper.

Minor criticism to an otherwise decent change. Simple is always effective.

That looks pretty good.
That's a Crows guernsey.

I really like that.

I like floating around the jumper design threads on BF- there is some absolute gems amongst the tripe that some posters come up with.

Thought this was a pretty funny story, and also explains his reaction at the time.

Great stuff from the Essendon fan for paying up too!

Talk is NBL turncoat Hugh Greenwood who quit the Perth Wildcats last night one month into his 3 year deal to try and play AFL will be signing with the Crows.

Not happy about that.

Was a very good junior footballer, good person and has some great attributes

I don't think a 'good person' signs a 3 year deal with a pro-basketball team and then two weeks into pre-season training walks out on the team to go and try his hand at another sport. It's very poor form. I'm no Perth fan but he's screwed up there plans now so late in the offseason comparable quality players to Greenwood have either already signed with other NBL teams or European teams.

He was a fringe Boomer and the Wildcats viewed him as their point guard of the future with Damian Martin getting older and starting to get more injuries now.

He should have made this decision when he finished his college basketball career earlier this year or at least after he put his name in the NBA draft and went undrafted in late June.

He actually is a very good person. I agree timing is not great and leaves the Cats in a bit of a bind, but he has chosen what he thinks is the best option for his future.

I'm loving the wildcats copping a bum steer. #hatethecats

Yes how dare he have freedom of choice ... Good on him for chasing his dreams. Last time I looked we are not living in North Korea

Dont sign a 3 year contract then, no one forced him to sign it. Sounds like he sooked at missing out on Boomers selection so decided to give away basketball.

[tigerhutch]

Yeah that would be the reason

Is this a serious post? Like Jim said don't sign a 3 year contract then, pretty simple I would've thought.

[Gozu]

:roll: Yeah that would be the reason

I haven't read them but people have gone back and found interviews he did in the past where he supposedly says his first love was footy but because you can't play it internationally he went with basketball because his dream was to play at an Olympics. I don't know for a fact (just second hand) if him missing out on selection for the Boomers in the series against NZ thus meaning he would be very unlikely to break into the national team in time for next year's Olympics was a deciding factor or not but it certainly seems like it given he quits basketball (1 month into his 3 year deal) two days after the series finished.

Honestly who cares. You seriously expect someone to just play for 3 years doing something that might not enjoy anymore, especially when they failed in their goals and probably want to try something new?
