Had a good year (cats in 05) that displayed some potential but fell of the year after. Crows are the 4th or 5th youngest list in the league and the player's we will lose in the next few years such as Reilly, Johncock and Tambling will be more a positive then negative for us. Main ones we need to cover are Rutten mainly and Thompson to a lesser extent. Hopefully with the extra cash we have in the cap after the Tippett debacle the club can attract someone that will go.someway to covering our Draft penalties.

You will find it hard to get a star or emerging star to Adelaide. I think Johncock might be on the way out but his SANFL hasnt been awful. Reilly seems to have lost it again and well Tambling.........Yeah.
I think not having a first round pick in this years draft will hurt you like us, as we traded it for Wellingham, still the draft was very good. Also this next draft again will start to leave a hole in the future. Yes Crouch is coming through and he is a ripper, but Thompson is starting to fade slowly (still goes pretty well).

I know you are a die hard cat, but reckon your memory is inflated of moons due to the passion and effort he put in in the early 00's rather than the quality of his footy. Just an opinion Too FWIW
Brownlow votes?? LMAO.

Here's hoping he plays out the season with the Magpies.

Have admired the way he has gone about his career, fantastic player and very harshly treated by the club IMO.

How so?
I agree he's been a fantastic player, but there's no place for sentiment when a player is past it and it get's harder every year to keep up physically.
You would think Adelaide would do something to celebrate his career before the year is out.

Kicked 26/27 odd goals in 9 (?) games. Until yesterday was only 3 goals behind the leading (Wundke) goal kicker.
He kicked 7 in one and 5 in another game and hasn't really looked to be 100% fit, certainly not AFL fit. I hope he plays out the SANFL season as he will be an important part of Ports push to play finals.
He might lift now he has the burden of AFL selection/training/expectation off his back. I sure hope so.

Not having a crack but Johncock from what I have seen of him this year looks like he is carrying an injury, his body is not right and therefore he is not in shape or fit and at times is looks or has been lazy. If the Crows told Reilly he need to control his weight then god knows what they told Johncock - I suspect maybe part of his "retirement" was he pushed slightly because of this? Re his burden lifting and out the AFL training regime and environment - he may become less fitter now and balloon out as his body shape is not exactly slim and athletic?
