Jamie Cripps & Kobby Stevens swap club

[damienc]

Why do people on this forum keep saying that Kobby Stevens is slow? He isn't. He is marginally slower than the Eagles fastest midfielder Shuey according to their sprint tests. The guy doesn't lack leg speed. The way people are talking they make him sound like a cart horse which he isn't.

Maybe we should get Koby, I mean, what kind of position does Cripps play? I can't see him playing in the midfield, and he didn't really seem like a forward (not like Saad etc), I guess he is a small defender? Do we need a small defender with Geary and Gram?

IIRC you could tell Armo was sore/tired towards the end of the season, so having a few bigger mid's would be alright, especially if we have bad luck with injuries.. (I thought we were lucky this year).

We can take someone in the draft that will be as good as Stevens. Can't say I'm that keen.

The draft is the unknown

I'm confident of getting a good midfielder with a second round pick, a midfielder like Koby Stevens is a dime a dozen IMO.

And so are most second round picks?

Then you could get a Leigh Montagna at 37 or a Jack Newnes - the draft depth is there if the recruiters have done their homework.

I reckon the recruiters at every club have done their homework and yet some of them are going to get it wrong. Our recruiters aren't immune from that risk, surely?
