shorter than Lenny, Dal, Gram.....not sure he is a medium marking fwd
he has long arms and will be a far more productive player player than McQualter and Eddy combined


Another opportunity awaits!

i agree that raph could improve us, but that position - running half-back - is one where we don't exactly have a shortage. there are many capable of playing that position: gilbert, lynch, fisher, dempster, simpkin, blake, goddard, winmar, clarke, gwilt, polo, ray, peake, dal santo, gram, gamble. yeah, some are better or worse down there, but i think we have a few options. third tall forward is much more important.
Raph has more upside and he could better free up Gilbert to play his new role.

Just know the types we do recruit....and our formula has seen very few good kids come through in the last 6 years.....and be regulars(the diff between us and Coll).....and our recycling has had hits and misses...

Not whinging

Cripps may be good.....hasen't set the world on fire
A couple of midgets
Aaron is a long way off
And a couple of REJECTS

Sounds like 2004-2009
So you don't care who we picked but you do care who we picked.

How's the fence feel under your arse there Big Mart?
:D

On this team we tear ourselves and everyone around us to pieces for that inch. We claw with our fingernails for that inch.

In case no-one else has added a link to this footage, here is a video of some of Gamble's footy at Geelong: http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/showthread.php?p=19615076
We could do worse than him kicking the odd bag of 4 goals for us. And one would imagine he'll be better now than he was when he did that a couple of seasons ago, when he was only 21.

He is an odd size and was behind S. Johnson, Stokes and even Shannon Burn at the Cats, he is a guy with potential that may just be a gun, for where we are at and the pick we used it looks positive.

He needs to be given a bit of time to find form with out the pressure being on him. He has to at worst rev up competition for Minis spot.
