Was having a think about the Crows and was wondering about the top 5 players the club has produced.

I came to this conclusion. agree or disagree if you want or tell us who your ur top 5 would be.

1 Andrew McLeod
2 Darren Jarman
3 Mark Riccuito
4 Tony Modra
5 Shaun Rehn

1. Jarman - my all time fave anytime
2. Rehn
3. Ricciuto
4. McLeod
5. Hart

Roo
Rehn
Edwards
Modra
Lindner
All Westies maybe a bit biased. Still a fair top 4, Lindner a carry on from 83 grand final

a richmond supporter posted one then it got deleted im not sure what happend there.

Not necessarily in order:

Jarman
McLeod
Ricciutio
Goodwin
Hart

Agree CP - I'd put them in this order:
D. Jarman
Ricciuto
McLeod
Goodwin
Hart

I'd probably 100% agree!

Pittman
M Robran
B James
R Maynard
S Rowe

I left off James Theissen too, and didn't count M Primus 'cos he played for the other team.

First two pick themselves
1. Roo
2. Andrew McLeod

after that it gets a bit hazy --- i'll try Hart, Edwards, Rehn

1. David Gallagher
2. Daylight

[quote="Dissident"]1. David Gallagher
2. Daylight[/quote

By Daylight do you meant Andrew Eccles???

Couldn't believe our luck when Carlton grabbed both of those duds off us during the trade period

Top 5
Roo
Rehn
McLoed
Hart
Edwards

Unlucky, Goodwin & Maynard

What about ...... The WEEEEEEEEEEDDDDDDDD??

Top 5 players:
Roo
Mcleod
D.Jarman
Goodwin
Hart/ Edwards

Biggest influence:
Modra - He put the crows on the map
Jarman & Mcleod - Won them 2 flags

On that basis, Jarman wouldn't count. He came over as an established star, the crows did very little in developing him. But if you mean top 5 players based only on their performances for the club, it gets tricky. Does Edwards' 300 games top what Rehn or Jarman did in much fewer games?

For me, it's thus:

1: McLeod. 2 flags, 2 norms, B&F winner, 350 games.
2: Riccuito. Great captain, all Australian year in year out. Only number 2 based on McLeod playing in 2 flags and Riccuito not having a great GF in 1998.
3: Hart. Marshalled the defense for a decade. Not a standout, but never poor in over 300 games.
4: Jarman. Won more games for the crows that anyone else, although a shortened career.
5: Edwards. Just ahead of Goodwin and Rehn. More consistent over a longer period of time.

Goodwin misses out because he wasn't quite the brilliant player that some were, and didn't play quite as long at a high level as the others. Rehn simply not enough games to get into my top 5.
