    Dear Crow Fans

    Out:

    Ellis Yohlmen
    Betts
    Jacobs
    Greenwood
    Jenkins
    Keath - Power called their bluff

    Crouch - only second compo, St Kilda called their bluff
    Atkins
    Hartigan

    Head coach gone
    A heap of assistants and footy dept gone
    Kids like McAsey not extended

    2019 Camp...
    2020 Wooden Spoon


    ... For all this pain, your going to choose to not select your Pick 1 player. Adelaide members, go microwave your memberships. You deserve after this run to have a Pick 1 player at your club. If your club wants to deprive you all of that pointlessly, wants to offer it to us, give JUH thousands of dollars in the process, then what’s the pain been for? Call your club and demand that you want the Adelaide crows to have AND use Pick 1 as the reward for two years of neglect and international pain. Don’t continue the pain by pissing away your Pick 1 light at the end of the tunnel.

    Please share. Support the Crows members in solidarity.

    Disagree with this. Easy to explain to your selection that you just wanted WB to pay top dollar, knowing that we would match
    If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

    Sorry, that’s better. My tongue was stuck in my cheek.

    I don't disagree but for devil's advocate purposes....
    A bit harder to explain or justify you diddled your selection out of an extra $20k bonus for being 1st selected?

    I think our Marketing Dept would be delighted if Adelaide handed us the number 1 pick.

    Any chance with Adelaide set to bid number one, and push us to the back of the draft, that Power and Co have any capital to pull any moves to get us back in to the draft earlier?

    There are no moves to pull unless we want to trade a future pick (I believe we only have a first and fourth rounder left) which seems unlikely and ill-advised given 2021 is meant to be a stronger draft.

    This, we have enough points. Let them bid and we get the #1 pick and pick the best player in the draft. They're kind of writing a pretty cool story for us.

    Bont and Marra have already developed a Bromance.
    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

    Imagine I'd be pretty annoyed if another team, who won the flag 4 years ago and just played finals got the number 1 pick and Treloar.

    For us, I'll allow it!

    Fixed.

    On Draft radio, JUH mentioned he borrowed Bon't pants.
