And yet last year Gregson and Lang both played 20+ games. If you're good enough, you play. Smedts will never be good enough. Bews was a role player, no longer best 22. Thurlow didn't have a position. All were 18 year old draftees. Ruggles is older and has a defined position. He's a different player to Kolo. I'm not saying he will play 22 games or anything but I think he's worth a punt.

The fringe backs seem to be a lot more uncertain is all I meant to say. But I hope you're right!

Think there's a chance he's upgraded but Cowan plays R1 and he doesnt.
I've never really rated Cowan. Sure it's a nice story that he's made it back but others have gone past him.

Darcy Parish to be named everyone! He came into my work today and i fanboyed. Told me he will be named, feel like I need to start him now!! Parish vs. Oliver just got more interesting for me haha

Great inside information. Hopefully it's true looked good in his one nab match. Hopefully he's not in for an injury riddled season.
 

alrighty then

No HArtley. Whooooooo do we replace him with
I had decided to go without Brown so I could do that.

I was big on Mitch McGovern very early in the preseason but didnt think he would get a game for the Crows... now he has been named. Could flick Adams down back and bring him in? Last minute decisions are never good.
