Very true ShaunWDT , he and P Cripps were in the same team and had virtually identical averages.
At the time they were both seen as inside bulls with Jansen having the edge in breakaway pace , clearances were similar.
At the end of the day we didn't need a slowish clearance machine and tried to make him more aerobic and play forward - Blues however saw a specific role for Cripps and the rest is history as they say

Maybe at WAFL level their numbers were similar, but Jansen hardly touched it at the champs. At no point in time was Jansen ever close to Cripps’ level and the picks they were taken in the draft reflects this.

Back to Charlie Constable. I always find it interesting how they compared him to Patrick Cripps in his draft year.

I do not see a Cripps type player with Constable. For starters Constable has quite a narrow body frame. Sure he is 191, but I don't think he'll bulk up too massively. Cripps is a man mountain at 195.

In fact, I find it quite difficult for a relevant player comparison to Constable.

For pace and size, he is more comparable to a Cameron Ling. However, Lingy was more a run with player, and Constable is more an inside-midfielder or flanker.

He is also similar to Joel Corey size, but Corey had a bigger upper body. Corey was also much quicker, and would've offered more tackle/defensive pressure.

Its really hard to place a ceiling on young chook. I am not even sure if we've seen a star that plays a bit like him in the past?!

Chook has gone

Guess he just never got out of second gear.

Hope it goes well to him and maybe he gets a rookie lifeline.
