15. Jamie Cripps (2013 - )

[LordHaart]

Can't find much 2014 footage yet but he became a bit more of a fixture in our side 2014 and if fit and in form should have a spot in the 22 every week this year.

His defensive work has improved; his main area to improve for me would be his endurance as he can go missing. One of our better leading targets in the forward line though and oftentimes the first on the scoreboard for us. Still not at LeCras's level but turning into a similar kind of player IMO.

I like that even though he can go missing for big parts of the game he still manages to pitch in with a goal or two

Not concerned if he isn't getting 20+ a game but happy if he is putting pressure on up front and snagging a few goals. Needs to aim for 30-35 goals for the year, he should also have a few mins in the midfield to rotate some of our mids up front.

Really rate your man Lordhart, get used to seeing your 'co-sponsor' fly the flag for him in 2015

Well if i sponsored Mitch Brown i'd be looking elsewhere.

You never answered me last time so i'll ask again.... Do you want to get hit? Big bustling brown is going to take home Spuds Golden fist award this year!

Your man just got married, so don't be so tough on him.

Seriously though, I've rated Cripps for a while now and I was surprised noone before me called his name out. His diabetes will likely be something of an obstacle for him running out games at 100%, but as others have said even if he can just improve his goal, tackle and disposal numbers by 20-25% I think he'll be best 22 for many a year to come.

And Brown is probably underrated on this forum, actually started finding some pretty good form last season and considering how MacKenzie also improved drastically over a couple of years at around the same age I'm hopeful that he can be a similarly valuable defender. Not many sides have two KPDs of the quality that we have, and along with Bennell for the small forwards I think it frees up our HB line to play more offensively which can only be a good thing considering the players we have there (Hurn, McGovern, Ellis, Yeo, Schofield - all best when they can play creatively).

Probably the best player on our list and it took me until page 3 to find his thread.

To the top!

Too arrogant of a sponsor to keep up lol.

Will try to update hopefully after win the premiership.

Jamie Cripps is now a Premiership Player.

 

[Jimmy_the_Gent]

Crippsy is a little underrated, IMO.

There's every chance he finishes his career in the top half dozen goal kickers in West Coasts history.

Still can't believe we got him for a small pick downgrade and a pick in the 40s.

In a nice little coincidence, Cripps is (barring unforeseen circumstances) playing his 150th AFL game this weekend against St Kilda, the team with which he played the first 16 of those games.
