He's been injured the majority of the year and the last two games that I can find stats on he's had 20 disposals and 17 disposals.

You're really writing off a kid who is 18 years old and is just in his infancy at an AFL club?

Christ its no wonder you let Bennell go so cheaply, if a kid isn't dominating the game from the moment they step out on the park you think they're shit.

I didn't actually let bennell go cheaply - at the time it was generally received that I won the deal big time. At the time though the only offers I was getting was like pick 15 for him and he did have no value. I also thought he was soft etc. poor call from me.

He's just not having the impact on games the crows thought he would. It's like 17 touches but they're all just...meh.

I really want him to gun it. So hopefully I anti-jinx him.

When you say 'Crows', you mean you and a couple of your mates I'm guessing.

I'd be highly surprised if the Crows organisation themselves placed such a high bar for Crouch to reach in his debut season of senior league footy.

This year is and always was going to be a development year for him. To say that there are 'serious doubts' after three-quarters of a debut season in which most of the time he has been out injured is uneducated garbage.

Look I didn't mean to have a go and I'm biased given I watched probably 15 games of his last year. But a pet peeve of mine is when people just make sweeping statements like the one's you always make. They are always so inaccurate and there's never any facts or information to support what you say.

An article was published this past week with the Adelaide and West Aelaide coaches singing his praises, with the fatal superstar comparison - liking him to Dangerfield. I think the wraps on him are huge. Based on that, I can't agree stife. No serious doubts on him just yet.

If I was to give my comparison, I'd say a more nuggety (and slightly better) version of Jordan Lewis at the same age.

I had given up on Higgins. I've got plenty of small forwards.

I know it's not an ideal trade coming into finals as Couch cant play. But I think he will be an absolute jet and his price is only going to get higher and higher.

Stife lol

You've got Sylvia in your best six small forwards and you think you're set in the forward line? Boof's dick would be hard at that statement for its complete idiocy.

I don't see a huge problem with Sylvia?

Before making comments like this why don't you have a decent look at his stats, in particular the last 6 weeks

Sylvia's so unbelievably overrated and hopefully one more DUI away from being gone.

Sylvia is one of those players that have the potential to be top ten SC wise.
