Oppo Camp Discussion on other club's trade/draft decisions

[Wright 1]

Camon mate just a friendly discussion here no need for that.

Let's agree its late and to be continued this discussion to maybe R5 next year to see how both come along in pre-season and first few rounds

By the end of their careers I expect:
Dunstan - To be regarded similar to what Jobe Watson / Sam Mitchell have done.
Cripps - To be regarded similar to what .....well......Brock McLean has done.

There is your answer. Bye

 

[toxic]

Wow,
Always read the saints pages but got confused when the paddy cripps love fest began.
from sn outsiders point of view.
billings first by a mile
Blake "fyfe" acres easily 2nd
dunstan 3rd
cripps 5th in a 4 horse race

Cripps is simply not that good

 

[12Chill]

I'm not telling lies, he had a growth spurt

LMAO he didn't go from 168cm to 193cm in a year, you're absolutely kidding yourself. Stop trying to troll us with this Cripps>Dunstan sh**.

I made a mistake with that fact about his growth spurt but I corrected myself. How am I trolling? Just a question I had and it got answered

Ok yes agree stop, no more

I understand. It happens. No worries.

You came on here, asked a question or two, had a conversation, got some feedback from Saints supporters, and as you said got your answer.

Now before some of our feistier supporters absolutely crack it at you, I would respectively suggest you move on. Any further posts could really be seen as trolling.

You guys are on the right track with what you did in the offseason but still have a way to go, something I'm sure you agree with.

Best of luck in the draft, (but not too much luck)

That suggestion has already been made.

Cripps was nicknamed 'a The Extractor' think only thing ATM that has over Dunstan, his clearance work

Dunstan averages 3 clearances a game.
Cripps averages 0.3 clearances a game.

 

[toxic]

Dunstan averages 3 clearances a game.
Cripps averages 0.3 clearances a game.

Cripps will grow tho....

 

[joop]

Cripps will grow tho....

Maybe, but he said at the moment that cripps pretty much had him covered in clearance work. Which he most definitely doesn't.

 

[felsty]

Cripps will grow tho....

i think toxic is being sarcastic joop

Yes it would appear so!

 

[Ian Dunross]

If Whiley doesn't do a Miles and the boy from Qld whose name escapes me, 3rd or 4th year inside mid, doesn't develop, given Cripps is only a GOP or Sewell at best, Carlton's midfield is officially stuffed.

Lucas was a bung flush & pick 7? wasted.

So many poor, average players.

It looks like it will be 2020 & therefore 20 years, until the Blues start challenging again.

Lesson on how to stuff a football club right there. Boggles the mind that they could stuff up drafting & development for so long.

Their only saving grace could be GCS & GWS rejects, but why would they choose the Blues, unless they're short for suitors, like a Whilst for example.

So true. Dunstan stole all the press in the first year but u just know Billings is gona be the better player. Some of his kicking was ridiculously good.
I love hearing about all this Acres hype. I havnt really seen him at all but ive heard so many people really rate him highly.
to rate him above Dunstan after the first year. You guys must think hes gona be pretty damn good.

Kane Lucas > Daniel Talia, Nat Fyfe, Lewis Jetta, Jake Carlisle etc etc. Yeah that was a bit of a utensil up. That said our drafting was not too flash that year either...

(guffaw...)

Jaksch has a stress reaction in his foot though.... Are you sure he's not training with us?

I have been boring people for years telling them how the mighty blues have never got used to the draft since it came in, they are always just on the lookout for the next Judd that they can pilfer

 

[Dopey BJ]

Since the draft came in in 1986 they won a flag in 1996 when they admitted to cheating on the salary cap, great planning you pack of flogs.

Here is proof of growth spurt

Who cares about a carlton player

 

[Saintos The ITK]

Question Saints fans

I'm doing ratings and rankings of draftees from last year.

If you had your time again at could pick Cripps instead of Dunstan, Billings or Acres would you?

Trying to establish out of the following draftees last year out of
1. James Aish
2. Patrick Cripps
3. Lewis Taylor
4. Luke Dunstan

Who will be the better players in the long run in 3-5 years time

Yes

 

[VDS66]

OMG some seriously embarrassing calls on this thread.

Just read this page lmao

Don't go looking through the posts from the past 5 years, you'll find plenty of embarrassing ones from us smugly proclaiming the genius of Richo and laughing at Richmond and Melbourne.

 

[SaintsSeptember]

Cripps averaged nearly `18 contested possessions per game over 2018, while Dunstan struggles to average 18 disposals in general. ( in fact he averaged 22, nearly 10 cp's).

ANYONE who can get more than 15 contested possessions per game is worth having.

Cripps averaged 14 in his second year.
