This kid is uncannily like a young Dustin Fletcher. Except .......a much better kick. He along with Lever will create a wall and carve the opposition up on the rebound. Inspired drafting and a steal at this pick in my opinion.

Anxiety.... heard it all now.... Then these poor umps probably ended up in straight jackets did they Ray....

http://m.afc.com.au/news/2014-11-26/recruiting-files-walker Take a look at the ‘circumstances’ in which Walker got to his beloved Crows.... Hypocrite of the highest order. No other team had the chance to draft him and if they did he’d be the first to request a trade to Adelaide if he had the chance. Plus the fact that there’d be no go home factor to Broken Hill anyway....

No lap of honour here. I thought it was a reasonable trade period for us as such. I was just putting the Lever trade into perspective.

There are differing views as to the value/currency of draft picks and the hit and miss rate. In Lever we have a fair idea (barring injury) as to what we will get for the next TEN years. The childish behaviour of the Adelaide representative (forgot his name)walking out on talks and the unprofessional public lambasting of Lever (who did everything professionally and respectfully) by Tex and Co. should be the biggest indication of how much they valued Lever at the Crows. The whole club was livid that he was leaving. Even uninviting him to the B&F even though he said he wanted to go. I have never seen such behaviour by a club, players and FD as with the loss of Lever to the Crows. Lever is the ultimate professional in all aspects. He chose us over bigger offers from other VIC clubs. Absolutely the biggest trade of the week.

We leaked consecutive goals in a short space of time on a few occasions this year. Levers acquisition will go a looooong way to alleviating that in future years. That is something you cannot put a price on.

I think a Bex and a good lie down is in order DS

He's had a couple of lean years but the start of his career hasn't been an easy ride. A good preseason to clear the pipes will have him running on all cylinders. Only then will we be able to see if he regularly gets leather poisoning.

You could be on the money there bub. After all it does say 'Highlights Reel'.

The missing link. Get him Dees!

^This Plus by all accounts his response and training standards while doing his time have been exemplary. The value of a hard at it player with 6 weeks rest at the pointy end of the season cannot be underestimated.

From my recollection he generally only uses a full straight arm if the opposition ruckman raises his knee to push him away from the ball. A New addition to rule - 11.3.5 1. The Player shall not be permitted to block an opponent’s Muay Thai knee to the sternum in a centre bounce contest.

If our mids aren't lowering their eyes when delivering inside forward 50 then put TMac back to take the big forwards and slot Joel Smith in at full forward.

I was never trying to come up with a way to stop it. I was just mentioning the unfair nuance it has at the other end of the spectrum. No more, no less.
