Another Adelaide Big Hurt
The Crows will be without big Kurt Tippett for several months after he was injured at training.
Read the news from the Adelaide Crows about the Tippett injury.
The Crows would not have expected Tippett to be ready to play AFL in round 1 next season even before the injury, and as he will now miss most of the preseason his debut in 2007 for the Crows would be pushed even further back. If the other tall forwards for the Crows play well next season then Tippett may have to wait until 2008 for his chance.
In 2008, or maybe towards the end of the 2007 season, the Crows will have a lot of depth in their talls division when Tippett, Biglands and Hentschel are available. But until then the ruck spot will be manned by Hudson, Maric and Meesen while up forward the pressure will be on Perrie and Welsh next season, with McGregor, Gill and Sellar the other tall forward options.
