Crows 2013 draft picks?

[phil5158]

i'm really looking forward to the SANFL next year because all the rookies will be wearing crows colours instead of other teams and i will take time to watch them whenever their on TV or possibly live.

With the old system there is no way you could possibly see all the young crows play when they were spread out in between 9 teams. The only ones i watched develop were Brown, Grigg, Walker, Kite, Young but i wouldnt watch Port Magpies even if Scott Thompson was playing i hate them that much HAHA One club HAHAHA

They say, we say: Club-by-club verdicts on the 2013-14 Pre-Season and Rookie Drafts

They say
'We have gone for talent and the talls got knocked off before we could get them, so we stayed true to our talent order with a bit of leaning towards locals where we could. We were really keen to get speed into our list and Charlie (Cameron) fits that. He's your speedy tackling machine and he'll learn plenty from Eddie Betts and Ian Callinan.'  - Hamish Ogilvie, recruiting manager

We say
The Crows were initially hamstrung entering the draft because they were docked their first and second round selections following the Kurt Tippett saga. But they traded Bernie Vince out to get back into the second round and grabbed midfielder Matt Crouch. From there they continued to target midfielders and smaller players - Riley Knight in the national draft and Charlie Cameron, James Battersby and Jake Kelly with their first three rookie selections. Only the fourth rookie pick, medium forward Alex Spina has neither "small" or "midfielder" next to his name on the clubs website. - Ashley Browne

James Battersby is this year's Sam Colquhoun IMO

Eli Templeton probably is.

It's time, a small part but important part in the Draft, left with 23, 46 and 80 odd which won't be used

#23 and who do we want, obviously guys like Trent Dumont, Luke Dunstan and Matt Crouch but if they are all gone? They wouldn't take Apeness would they? Should they? Too early for Darcy Hourigan? Maybe Taylor could be there?

I'd say if they don't get Dunstan, Dumont or Crouch, nab Gartlett! Just the player we need!

#46 and I want a forward, Luke Reynolds the one but would love Charlie Cameron or Karpany the small guys!

Is tbag on the ball or just mad? :P

Two of the ones I wanted 8)  Pity about Reynolds though :P

Little Charlie Cameron or lil CC as I will call him, was gob smacked to learn we actually stile him today 8)  Could be our Jakey Neade in 2014 ;D  I can sense a cult status for this boy! Welcome to Adelaide! Wanted him since first spotting him in the carnival, now we have him and I couldn't be happier! With Battersby it's a great draft now for our great club!

Will battersby get promoted early enough to get games crows fans??

Do we have a spare spot on the Senior List?

I think there are a lot of small defenders in the squad so he might struggle early

Guys like Brown, Laird, Smith, Reilly, even Jaensch and Martin. But with Tambling and Stiffy gone it might be a good pick up.

I'd be almost certain Charlie C will get a nod first, unless someone like Smith, Laird or Reilly went down

Batters I think will get games though at some point

[Toga]

Will Charlie get games in 2014 do you think fellas? Big fan of the kid 8)
