all the more reason not to now. We didnt lose because of harvey we lost because we are weak as pee as a collective, including our off field personnel.

Who dominated the year before that in port and the year before that? Crowley is finished.

Not that I want him ....but I did see Crowley at the local shops a month ago . I was amazed at his size . He is deceptively big .

Can see why Lids had so much trouble with him.

Yes I am serious

Firstly, we are talking about a bloke who's been in the system how long? Who took something not prescribed by a club doctor. He may be a great guy but to do that,  to do something that's completely the opposite to what's drummed into them from the day they are drafted is stupid.

Secondly, he is entitled to be disappointed not disputing that but being 30+ His chances of getting another comtract were a long shot, quite naive to think otherwise

what did he take?

a sudafed? oh my gosh was a flippin female Chinese swimmer

crowley said a few years ago in an interview he would focus so much on his job, the player he was given by the coach for the upcoming games he would often get migraines

was charles a flat out drug cheat?

for mine there a significant difference between a casserly or crowley, or a justin charles compared to dank/hird type systematic drug cheating, not trying to recover from injury but systematically drug cheat over the course of years to unnaturally improve ones muscles

and ironically breaking down with a flurry of soft tissue injuries in the 2nd half of seasons - too much juice too soon



crowley is significantly better at football than grigg

in the similar way that watts or howe are better than chaplin

or kreuzer better than hampson

the phenomenon of richmond fans thinking other players are rubbish, while quiet content to watch week in week out, more rubbish senior contracted players

He took a banned substances, end of story

What it was is not relevant it was banned, he got tested, tested positive and got suspended

He knows the rules and that is you don't take anything if you don't know what it is or isn't prescribed by a club doctor

And FWIW I wouldn't take Crowley because he is over 30 not because of his stupidity in taking a banned substance

I'm with you TM, I'm not a fan of Crowley but I do think he would add some value to our side in the short term and I wouldn't be against taking him for nothing.  Much more so than Stevie J.

Hodge is over 30. Would you not give him a 2 year contract. Crowley is rated by many top footballers as one of the toughest. Some even said they hate having him as a opponent. Most 30+ footballers in the game you will find are the most damaging. Look what Harvey did to us. If we had Crowley playing for us he would have been niggled to the bench.
Title: Re: Tigers should go after Ryan Crowley: Wallace
Post by: TigerMonk on October 19, 2015, 09:57:11 PM
What some are missing the point here is we need a dirty tough player. Some of our players have no balls. Hunt is one of them.
To win a premiership you need these types of players who intimidate others. The reason l would have also got Johnson for 1 season but that won't happen as his gone to GWS. Essendon worked with Chapman. Dew for Hawthorn. We need some experience to take that step forward. Crowley missing a season will make him hungry to play his best.

Where exactly did he kick it 50 comfortably? He took a nice mark and IIRC he didn't make the distance from that. Them skipping the kick in the highlights definitely makes it seem like that.

Also, there are a few players who can't kick it 50 meters. Stokes comes to mind

It's a possibility.

Failing as a coach doesn't equate to he knows nothing about the sport.

It's pretty obvious Crowley would be superior to grigg , our current preferred tagger

Then again, hardwick would play them both.

Fair Call, respect your view on Wallace but what grinds my goat is why he failed so abjectly at RFC and now everyone listens to him as if he has all the answers.

This superior knowledge must have been acquired after he left RFC and the Dogs from a weetbix packet IMHO
