Yes mate, I think Winmar is up over 190 now too.

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.
Thanks for that bud! Like the info!

Lynch measured in at 192 as a 17 year old. It would hardly shock if he'd grown a couple since then. He was always more CHF/CHB material anyway.

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.

The cupboard is a bit bare....may Gaertner hasn't gone.....
Well Blake did play in the ruck
And a few have wanted Goddard as our full-forward.

I think you will all be pleasantly surprised by Curran....good pick up.

Ross has been very specific on our requirements in this draft period.....and he has got what he wanted.

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!

Hi Sav....yes I'm still around.....

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.... ;)

There were also some recruiters at the St Kilda football club who thought he was worth pick 24 if he was still available.
AND we all know most of them. :wink:

So the recruiting brief was pace, good skills and a small hooter? :shock:

This is Ross thinking outside the square.

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! :D
