Cripps !

No ******* way

I will need to make a visit to toys r us if this happens...I'll need something to throw!!
Although I reckon its all wishful thinking on the eagles behalf...

 

[jezzajay]

[DollarsandSense]

ummmmmmmmmm yes please.

 

[FoeverBlues]

Would take Yeo or Barrass as well....

Great!, imagine all the inside info we'd get from Barrass

 

[thylacine60]

Only way I'd accept a deal for Cripps is 3 picks inside the top 2

imagine what sos could do with pick zero........

Cuningham?

SEN reporting that the Giants left out Devon Smith from their last two games despite him being fit.

I'm not giving a top 20 pick for a chronically injured, medium-impact small forward, who "may" spend some midfield minutes. Would rather target a kid 6 years younger such as Lachie Fogarty.

If Devon's medical deems him corrigible and he nominates us along with Kennedy, I'm doing no more than #27 (On-traded from Adelaide, originally from Melbourne) and our '18 2nd and for the pair (And possibly a further salary dump).

I think SEN are wrong in this instance. Leon Cameron said at his press conference that Smith was still sore in the knee from the Geelong game.

Should go in the 3rd round, won't last until our 4th so P38 it would have to be.

I got the rumour from my mates brother re Cripps. He told the other bloke to GAGF (Not GAFF, but Go And Get F........). The word was that there may have been talks already, but they were rebuffed. Eagles aren't going away though apparently.

Id trade him for Vic Lads, no worries - Cripps for Shuey/Gaff/Duggan/Cole/Mutimer/Venables/Lamb/Nelson and Pick 13.

Throw in McGovern, Natanuie, Kennedy and next year's 1 St before we start talking.

 

[Lace_Out]

It has LO.
Watched all his games this year with Peel.
Hands a lot cleaner in traffic, good foot skills, but its his over head marking he has taken to a new level.
Not the quickest leg speed player, but his quick decision making tends to get him out of trouble in close.
And still only 19 years old.
So room for plenty of improvement.
All this for a kid that didn't want to be at Freo, imagine what he will be like back home and at the Blues

Didn't realise he waa only 19! Plenty of scope for improvement then.

Absolutely zero to worry about with a contracted Cripps but what I worry about is Cripps and Curnow both coming out of contract and getting $1mil plus offers and us still sitting down the bottom end of the ladder. If we aren't playing finals then have to pay up and it would mean it pretty much puts us out of the running for players like Shiel, Kelly ect.

[Aphrodite]

Murph and Bain went to high school (can't remember if it was Whitefriars or Marcellin, but I think Marcellin) together

Whitefriars

 

[passmark]

I haven't seen a minute of him play live.

From those highlights he doesn't look overly quick but he's always hitting the ball at a fair speed and doesn't fumble. Very clean off the deck, quick to recover.

 

[thylacine60]

Whitefriars

same - me and paul van der haar.........

 

[Coops93]

Hmm I find it hard to believe our third round pick is to late Kelly.

Drafting a 23 yr old (assuming 24 by next season) before the third round sounds a bit daft. People even thought we stretched at 19 for a 21, 22 yr old Boekhorst. (which we did tbf, but he was expected to be mid around the mid 20s)

I think our third round pick is about right, unless a desperate spends a second on him, at which point I'd be happy we didn't get him.

 

[Quazza]

Cripps is currently OS with Marchbank, Byrne and a couple of others

so going by his Instagram, he seems pretty happy

 

[goreds]

once again not sure you are correct. Fraser refused to co-operate with afl who already had enough self reported evidence to convict. a hard and tough carlton man who gas always put the club first.

All true!

SOS had given the AFL all the info they needed!

 

[bmaurizio]

Cough up your first, 2018 first and Venables.

Oh and Hurn better stand aside too because Cripps isn't playing second fiddle to a 30yo half back flanker.

Yes reluctantly if one had to contemplate a trade of Cripps to Egales, both their 1st rounders for 2017&18 and a youngster with promise would do it.
Next year's draft is monstrously good , some combination similar would just about sway me.

I reckon he'll get through till late.

 

[bmaurizio]

Andrew Bradshaw (pick 3 draft ) and Kelly help Crips out , would be huge gets for our midfiled.
Murphy , Gibbs and SPS would be magical to watch.

 

[jezzajay]

Cuningham?

i hear ya....but i dont see anything wrong with acquiring another of this type and he's mature so should be ready to go...

 

[cookie monster]

If required, SOS would find a way to get a higher pick to nab Kelly. Theyre not that hard to come by, and our list management isn't done by McKay anymore...

 

[passmark]

I see Kelly as a possible Simpson replacement.
