As young as he is, based on the glowing leadership praise he gets, you would think nobody would go too overboard with Crippa roaming around. Would probably encourage others to toe the line and not jump over it.
Toast Pick #19: Welcome to Carlton Blaine Boekhorst

Based on interviews Blaine sounds like a guy (and consequently was drafted) as a guy who knows what he needs to do to improve and I think from all accounts we went for him because we were very impressed with his work ethic and attitude to continually improve. I dont think he would let it slip now he has gotten his chance of 3 years being in the WAFL system. Hes there and I fully suspect he will grab the opportunity with both hands and not ruin himself at a festival. Unless of course you know something we dont?

no need but we could discuss him in his thread in the players board and his drafted position in the draft thread.
As Aph mentioned this is a welcome thread. Which if i was Blaine and I read this thread I would go 'what the..' Great welcome.

I don't know. I think given the circumstances that his come to the club under its as friendly it would get. I like the kids highlights got some great top end speed and kicking at top speed is exceptional. Hope he can come in and have a big impact in 2015 and beyond.

Interesting comparison Moe B, what makes you say that? What attributes does he possess that are similar to Lovett?

Just from what we saw off the highlights package, the pace, the kick, and just the style in general... I don't really see the pendlebury comparison...

He is exactly what we needed even though I was screaming out for Laverde after pick 18 was called out... Beautiful runner and kicks really well at full pace, Looks clean and might be really exciting for us...

I see a lot of Lewis Jetta with BB. It might just be because of the draft position and similar age. But the long runs with running bounces then a booming right boot does really reminds me of Jetta2013.
