On another note, a friend who scouts VFL for an opposition club reckons that Cripps is a great get at #24, could be in our best 22 by the end of next season.

I have a mate who does a similar thing and he said he had Cripps top 15 odd so looks like he was highly regarded by quite a few who should know.Animal Enclosure wrote:Yes mate, I think Winmar is up over 190 now too.borderbarry wrote:Animal, is that our Tom Lynch? If so he is now CHF material.

Good to see you still around. If you say Curran is a good pick up, then I believe it. Looks like he can really use the ball & do the tough stuff!

Yes I think they were pretty happy to get him...thought he might have gone earlier....couple of other clubs talked to him...
Interesting Geelong picked up Burbury at the pick before us....especially where Peake may end up....

We obviously rated Curren above Burbury...were we intending to take him with the pick after geelongs?Scoop wrote:Hi Sav....yes I'm still around.....savatage wrote:Scoop, long time no talk mateScoop wrote:I think you will all be pleasantly surprised by Curran....good pick up.

There were also some recruiters at the St Kilda football club who thought he was worth pick 24 if he was still available.RW&B wrote:I have a mate who does a similar thing and he said he had Cripps top 15 odd so looks like he was highly regarded by quite a few who should know.Animal Enclosure wrote:Yes mate, I think Winmar is up over 190 now too.borderbarry wrote:Animal, is that our Tom Lynch?

Now that I am old and know so much more, I know that I know so much about so little, and so little about so much.

This is Ross thinking outside the square.borderbarry wrote:And to think I believed the recruiters only looked at a kids pace, ability, courage and size.
A team of short nosed players will actually create more space, which in turn should lead to more movement and more scoring opportunities.
Gotta hand it to Ross; the man's a genius!
