And with our current management team in place I'm very confident that will happen.
However if Cripps does return to WA it should in no way affect our thinking when it comes to interstate recruiting. We have to continually look Australia wide for the best possible talent.
Your too nice for your own good. We should cut off WA with a Berlin wall style rabbit fence and let them sit there rubbing their piles of ore all over themselves, filthy westies don't deserve to leach off our great footy culture, they should carve a channel between us and then nuke the place....

Can't believe people saying pick 27 is a fair deal for us. Cost us pick 24, he has had two years development and has shown signs that he could be a player.
If it was the saints that raised this with wc then I would hope it was to try and trade for brown. IMO that would be fair trade for us as it fills our needs.
Let's not hang the bloke !! From what I'm hearing the club happy to trade him .. As for him nominating West Coast as a new home well would you prefer him at Freo ?? In my opinion he will be playing mainly for East Freo in the WAFL if he gets traded anyway ...

I'm not going to hang him, but I don't have a lot of sympathy for these go home kids. I can deal with Judd asking for a trade home after several years of service, a brownlow and a flag as captain. Guys like Caddy and Cripps demanding special treatment after two years doesn't sit we'll with me. I'm in favour of free agency, but not for brats who just miss their mum or their mates.

Let's hope he's our version of Buckley(leavin Brisbane for GF"S at Collingwood!
Not a big fan of fringe players at best requesting what club to go to, especially so young. That's why there is a draft, would understand if he had some value but it doesn't seem like much. Just amounts to a waste of time and money for the club. Can't even shop him around for value if that's where he requested to go. If it's not done, Do you really want a player at the club who has said he wants to leave?

He has diabetes it is fair enough if he wants to be closer to his family...

That'd be right...top up with spuds

How many defenders will The Saints pick in the 2024 draft ?

List cloggers. Silvagni was not taken by the Saints for a reason and well I know very little about Lower but if Lyon id offering him he would be a hack.
Lance or James??
There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say, "Enough is enough." For me, that time is now. I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in <redacted>. Over the past three years, I have been subjected to a <redacted>investigation followed by <redacted> witch hunt. The toll this has taken on my family, and my work for <redacted>and on me leads me to where I am today – finished with this nonsense. (Oops just got a spontaneous errection <unredacted>)

You're dead right. Makes a mockery of the draft. I really don't think he'll be much of a loss. A bit soft.
In Springfield, they're eating the dogs. The people that came in, they're eating the cats. They’re eating – they are eating the pets of the people that live there.

What does diabetes have to do with his request? It's a completely manageable condition. He doesn't need his mum to hold his hand while he takes insulin shots. I doubt the home cooking is any better for him than what he's been eating over the past two years. It's about as relevant to the trade as his eyebrows.

As I said before the idea of heading home was planted in his head by St Kilda ... The story I'm hearing is Cripps was asked if he was open to the possibility of being traded to the WCE ... From what I'm hearing he was shocked by that as he felt he was a required player .. After talks with his family in Perth he decided that not only was he ok with being traded he in fact wanted to be traded .. So in that sence he only became a "go home kid" after the club suggested it

Your on drugs .. Cripps and our draft pick for Zac is more realistic the guy is a young Ruck his value is sky high Cripps is a young midfielder they are a dime a dozen

How is a second string ruckmen that hasnt played that many games so much better than cripps that has a lot of potential
Because Ruckmen are rare every year 50 new midfielders enter the draft you would be lucky to get 5 decent rucks ... Potential wise Zac has more scope to be a star then Cripps has .. The only reason he was out of the freo team all year is cause Ross was more in favour of Kepler (god knows why) just like at st Kilda when Ross played guys like Polo & eddy over Armo and Steven

That's pretty much the exact opposite of the reported story. Is there any reason we should believe your unnamed sources over the media's unnamed sources?
