cripps...1/2 back/wing with plenty of pace,loves to run & break the lines with good disposal although no goddard but not a scatter gun as is gram
prepared to do the hard yards ie 10 k run on none training days etc
happy as a pig in chyt to get him (although they all say that)
will play rnd 1...we wait & see what the selectors think

ledger...got a bit of lenny hayes about him...lacks a yard but hard tough inside midfielder

keen on a rookie small & skinny with blistering pace,a 2-3 yr project no matter who takes him

imo cripps at 18 (with more upside)replaces miles at 24 on the list

all we have to do now is wait 3 yrs to find out if weve got a couple of top liners,gops or duds

its a good thing we have registered the name Western Saints otherwise the marketing dept might try and change the club name soon !!

its good to see that the club is looking at other comps besides the Vic comps for players in the past all these players would of ended up at the eagles or dockers .. or playing WAFL ....

i must admit im getting excited about 2011 !!

spaceman the player i was refering to was ledger

club spin has him as another carl lewis...the word i got was he's a hard working inside mid who doesnt mind having a crack & is not overly quick although not a draft horse...i asked who would you compare him to & after a bit of a pause out popped the words LENNY FN HAYES without the side step at this point in his career

with pick 40 or whatever he was we cant expect miracles...we just gotta wait & see

as with our new rookie... he will give himself every opportunity of making the grade (his words)

as with all 3rd 4th round rookies we cant expect sugar for chyt (my words)

he was smiling like a skunk chewing chyt talking about cripps
