Crows 2015

[Magellan]

Hope all the Gold Adelaide members got their membership blanket in their pack. Nothing worse than apricot slice crumbs making their way down to the Rockport walkers.

Or caught down the side of the Jason recliner.

And I hope the Power supporters enjoy their free yoghurt sample, easy to eat with no teeth.

Peter Turner
Adam Saliba

Some real wasted footy talent there, be it through injury or other influences. Both good enough to have made it at the highest level.

Shane Tongerie 4

Didn't he get 3 Brownlow votes in a match at the Gabba in 1994?

[bennymacca]

Two first round picks in that bunch! And doesn't include angwin either!

Happy our drafting has been pretty good for a while now though

[JK]

From memory Brent Williams was the AA Teal Cup CHF forward. Whilst a bit slow I thought he showed a fair bit of ability, but dropped out of the system fairly quickly. Reckon he might have been traded with Collins to bring Bassett home from Melbourne.

Saliba had PLENTY of natural ability

[BoundaryRider84]

Tom Warhurst played the crows first ever 2 games. Now owns Joggers World

[Magellan]

Saliba had PLENTY of natural ability

26 touches in his debut against Sydney at Footy Park. I have a feeling he also started that game on the bench. Played in the Jarman/William style - slow legs, quick mind and hands.

Sported a fair mullet too.

[Brodlach]

Paul "mirrors" Patterson played over 200 games for West

Ashley "fist" Feenee was a good bloke, worked with him for 12 months

[JK]

Saliba had PLENTY of natural ability

26 touches in his debut against Sydney at Footy Park. I have a feeling he also started that game on the bench. Played in the Jarman/William style - slow legs, quick mind and hands.

Sported a fair mullet too.

Also did a coupla useful things in a state game around 93' I reckon.

[Magellan]

Reckon it was the 1992 SOO game you're thinking of, I think he'd chucked AFL footy in by 1993. Think he got selected in the squad after only a couple of games. But yes, capable player at the highest level.

[TEX07]

Aaron Keating 6 games and one premiership medal - when greats like Abblett Snr, Lockett, Harvey dont get one and this guy plays in 6 and wins a flag shows how cruel this game can be!

Or modra for that matter.

[Fricky]

According to a source of mine, at the time trial this week Menzel came dead last and walked the last 200m.

[Mr Beefy]

Probs would have still won Carlton's....

[Booney]

According to a source of mine, at the time trial this week Menzel came dead last and walked the last 200m.

Over a 2km run?

[The Dark Knight]

According to a source of mine, at the time trial this week Menzel came dead last and walked the last 200m.

Over a 2km run?

The usual 3km Uni Loop I would of thought?

Nah mate, Port run the 3km. My understanding is the crows only do 2.2.

And won a SANFL premiership with Norwood the next week!
