and work vs sport is apples and oranges, youll find much more loyalty to your organisation in football rather than the workplace.

I would've done the same thing in his situation. I don't think it's a tantrum or letting team mates down. Gives a good opportunity to one of the younger guys now too and let's face it, the Crows aren't 6 - 3 with finals aspirations. With Edwards/Goodwin and the likelyhood of McLeod, Henschel, Burton possibly also Doughty missing next year I think now is the time to give game time to guys like Sloane, Armstrong, Cook ect ect

At his age with 320 AFL games to his name why would he want to maintain the sort of commitment to the sport if there's every chance he won't ever play another AFL game. If he were in his mid 20's then it's a different story. I highly doubt the situation with McLeod had anything to do with it either.

The next few weeks will make or break the Crows for the next 1-2 years, with a few players out of contract and a lucrative GC and WS teams offering good cash to players, they need to get ink on paper.

Might already be too late with the concessions and access allowed to GC

spot on....there's a couple on your list being head hunted with a large carrot being dangled in front of them to go north.

If you were a prospective 2nd tier player in a team that's got no Flag aspirations in the short term future, you'd be nuts not to say goodbye.....especially if you're one of them that doesn't get enough game time

The situation between Edwards & Tyson was more tongue in cheek but it doesn't matter now that the club has done a back flip and guaranteed an out of form player a game next week even though he's been side lined.

That 2nd level of players is the whole Crows future which is what clubs in general base futures on.

[whatsisname]

Guys like Mackay, Vince, Knights, Dangerfield, Douglas, Porps, Otten, Davis, Walker, Tippett... these guys are going to have to step up and pave the way for the future, some have already shown that they can. Vince, needs to learn how to cope with a tag.

[whatsisname]

Pete, I disagree to a certain extent.

Burton, apart from the Melb game has been rubbish. It is time for him to retire. He will continue to struggle with his knee and the way the club is rebuilding his time has come. Walker needs to step up.

Bunji, his knees have been the same ol same ol for years! Every year people say the same thing and each year he proves them wrong. This year is no different.

Goody, looked a little out of sorts over the last few games, was not right in the Lions game, you could see that clearly. I thought he might play on, clearly has the motivation and is good to see him play out the year to help mentor the young guys and prepare the next captain.

Edwards, time to go. Been a long time stalwart of the club, but has lost the drive, lost the pace and is well out of form - hence he deserved to be dropped. Good to see the club will give him a farewell game. He deserves it. It's not like our season is on the line, it dropped off the radar weeks ago.

The new breed to replace these guys are: Vince (down on form, needs to deal with taggers), Mackay (injured until recently), Dangerfield (playing in the foward line. needs to go into the middle) ...

That came out of left field.

Out of the the 4 veterans, he was the last one that I expected to go and actually thought he had 1 or even 2 more years left in him......he certainly hasn't let his side down this year.

Burton on the other hand is a different story......he needs to say goodbye cause his best footy is behind him.

McLeod's knees have caught up with him, so get ready for some more news from him.

Tyson Edwards, reminds me of Roger James - the silent achievers that get the work done week in week out with no recognition by the VIC gurus yet always amongst the Top 3 BOG........don't know if he has another year left in him, maybe 1 more.

If they all leave this year, CROWS are in serious trouble next year cause these 4 (apart from Burton) haven't been anywhere near as bad as the 2nd tier players in your 22.......you're really gonna notice a big hole with Goody gone me thinks.

EDIT: Krishy, all common sense aside, any good team player would not abandon a ship mid way through a season........Goody is possibly the best club player the Crows have got........and that's coming from a Port Ferral!!

[Krishy]

hahaha port got thrashed by Richmond.....dont expect to be playing finals port if you cant beat a team that hasnt won a game all season till today

[Luciano]

Fremantle 10 goal quarter :-) Sitting 2nd on the ladder (due to percentage), Pav still leading the coleman medal! 2010 is a good year for AFL.

All those years of rebuilding and getting thrashed is now paying up for them.....good to see them do well for once.....this week would have been a decent paying round only because of the results.....Essendon were paying $3.xx....Hawks $2.xx....Richmond $5.xx so just for only those odds would have been a decent multisport bet

[writeoff]

I so nearly picked Richmond for the AFL Gauntlet tipping comp (you have to pick one winner from round 7 to 22 but can only pick each team once). The hardest part in this comp is tipping when the crap sides (like Richmond, Adelaide, Hawthorn, West Coast etc) will win. The rule of thumb is tip whoever is playing Richmond. This week I thought the Tigers were a chance to win as the Power were coming back from Darwin. If the game had been played in Melbourne I would have tipped the Tigers. If I had paid more attention to the weather predictions I would have tipped the Tigers as well. Instead I went for the safest bet and picked Geelong to beat Melbourne, who were also coming back from Darwin, and had rested their newest gun midfielders Scully & Trengove.

on the dreateam front, managed 1755 with merrett, b johnson (WB), and J Waite out of the side.
