True shouldn't have put Brown in, my mistake.

Cameron, McGovern, Milera, Brown and Henderson are not automatically picked if they are not performing. The others might have a bit more grace.

Both Hampton and Menzel have had interrupted preseasons and years with injuries. Plus Menzel rocked to preseason out of shape.

I can see both being in our best 22 next year if fit, Hampton half back wing (Henderson/Seedsman) and Menzel Half forward/Wing (DMac)

I think Menzel will be delisted without ever playing a game for us.

Needs to seriously pull his finger out.

Luke Lowden? Much like Angus Graham I don't think he's ever played a game for us has he?

I hope Lyons stays, unless he is used as part of a trade to land someone bigger than him. Have liked his work this year and I think he deserves a decent offer.

The problem is, they will be thinking players like Knight and Hampton may take his place in the best 22, and as such aren't going to offer him the world.

Reckon there's a fair chance of that too .. Kid has the ability, for Crow fans sake hope he can show it consistently, and in a hurry

Welcome back, Ivan Maric.


Is this rumour out there or just one you are starting now?

Maric looked cooked during the year. Liked the look of O'Brien too, so we dont really need another backup ruck on our list. Maybe grab another rookie ruckman.

I wasn't starting any rumour but with the Crows back up rock prospects of recent years not being too flash maybe we could entice him back.

Reckon there's exactly zero chance of Maric coming back to Adelaide. One of the stranger thoughts I've heard lately.

No I think Hartlett going to Adelaide is the strangest one I've heard.

That would make a heck of a lot more sense. For a start, Hartlett would have a chance of actually playing AFL for the Crows. Not going to happen, but at least there would be an argument for him being on the list.

Still won't happen though. With the exception of probably the dogs we would be up there with the most depth in terms of half back types.

What has happened with hartlett though? Has had a pretty bad year. Falling out?

Don't agree with you there Benny. Soon as 1 of Laird or Smith miss a game we go to shit. Opposition always cramp them if there is only one and if you have one to cramp then the Crows find it tough.
Can you bring a man to his feet when defeat is on repeat?

Hartlett can kick the ball. Anyone who can do that is worth investing in. Just think he's overpriced and unreliable.

Err he won the game for your ressies last week. Send him back to carlton yea

When you suddenly get injuries half these boys will get games

If the current surplus of players not getting games leave will it be a bad thing or good thing for crows? Get draft picks in return or just more fringe players

Jako is talking about workrate, not talent I believe.
