Cripps Traded
We lose Cripps & Pick 46, received 41+44 in replacement. That's probably as good as we could've expected.

Re: Cripps Traded
With no contract...and only two clubs in WA we had no bargaining power.
Let's hope that Brown shafts WCE next trade period though!!!!

Re: Cripps Traded
That's actually OK.
They got Dennis Lane for 47 I'm guessing as a similar type to Cripps.
We would've only expected pick 41 as best from West Coast for Cripps, we got that and slightly upgraded from 46 to 44.

Re: Cripps Traded
I hope we can return the favour to egirls one day
Still got a gaping hole at FB - put all eggs in Brown basket and got zip
Martin at 50 odd would've been a much better option for mine
Agh well.... let's hope a state plodder can minimize the annual Buddy/Cloke floggings we get ..

Re: Cripps Traded
Effectively means that we have 4 picks in the draft before the Eagles. 25/26/41/44 which could all be upgraded if the Crows lose draft picks over the Tippet saga.
Thats Mr. Smartarse to you
Re: Cripps Traded
I sincerely hope we find a mature bodied ready to play backman in the draft.

Re: Cripps Traded
So which state league key defender will we take a chance on ?
How many more will we need to delist ?
Hopefully next year Mitch BROWN can walk to us in the pre-season draft !

West Coast well and truly bent us over but at least we kept our undies on.

Agreed. Whilst I am sure that Brown is a good player, WCE were sitting laughing & waiting to see how silly our offer would get. Glad we haven't paid overs. FInd a cheap stop gap and spend the year in Brown's ear.
Mark it down in the diary and screw them next year.

Re: Cripps Traded
West Coast screwed us.
Cripps for pick 41 and an uprade of pick 46 to pick 44, just 2 places.
That means that Cripps has been valued as a pick 39

Re: Cripps Traded
The best we could've expected was 41, realistically. We had no other leg to stand on. I'll take the 2 pick upgrade & they obviously took Dennis-Lane for 47 as a similar type to Cripps. We did OK considering where we were positioned.ace wrote:West Coast screwed us.

Cripps was a pick 24, so it's not quite the reaming it could've been.

Re: Cripps Traded
eagles obviously weren't too bothered about Cripps.
who'll get the 35 jumper?
Ferguson better have a huge preseason.
