Why are we talking about Cripps? We won't be drafting him with pick 27.

It was considered a reach by Carlton when they picked him, and it's paid off, blokes a gun.
We were never gonna pick him with our first rounder. Get over it.
 
He's not, possibly in the future. Although I find it difficult to fathom how a kid who can't kick will be a star. A good player no doubt but no star. Don't see what Lennon has to do with this.
This elite kick thing is so overrated, all this champion data crap is no indication of how good a player is. I'd consider suckling an elite kick but is far from being a star. Dangerfield and dusty you will find do a lot of clangers but have way more impact in a football match. Cripps is in this same category

Except that crips doesnt kick the ball often.

Cripps is the 1 clearance player in the AFL.
Averaged 8.8per game
That's more then Fyfe averaged in his Brownlow year.
Also 4th for contested possession
This is a kid in he's 3rd year of AFL footy.
Kid is a beast
Cripps is a ****ing gun but he has to be because no one else will fire. If there were more good players around him those clearance numbers would drop a little.
 
I like Cripps and would love him at Tigerland but when we talk 'Elite' it has to be in all area's and Cripps isnt that yet and may never be that but he is tracking well for a 22 yo.

Just for argument sake even though there is 3 years difference to the 2 players i am about to compare, They are tracking very similar and yet the Richmond player Anthony Miles is considered by Richmond supporters as being 'B grade and trade material and Cripps is already considered 'A grade by Carlton supporters

Bishop any over agers worth looking at?

Markov was a good find last year
Drummond the year before was going well until he done his knee.

I like that a 19 year old can impact straight away.

Not sure too many '97 births will get picked. WA's Matt Guelfi & Quinton Narkle are two that I could see being drafted and stepping in, in some capacity.

Tim English is the obvious '97 born & he should be top 10.

Ben Long one of the only Vic '97 who will get picked, I'm not a huge fan- but should go in the middle of the draft-late. Small forward role.
 
Out of Mutch, Powell-Pepper & Scharenberg who will become the better player?

I much prefer Mutch tbh

If we get SPP i hope Bishop goes on a Weaver like meltdown after we drafted Jack. ;)

To SPP's credit- He finished the season off well and has improved his kicking and decision making a bit from what it was at the start of the season. Still not for me, others on the board I like better.

Seems to have garnered a fair bit of media interest. Fair chance hes gone before our pick anyways?

A fair few slipped out of the first round last year. Remember Clarke, Hibberd, Mathieson and Balic we're all considered top 20 by the majority "group think" but they ended up going at picks 30+

It'll be interesting to see who tumbles down this year.

They were the obvious two- Mathieson ran a 12.5 beep test on draft combine which was appaling. Balic's wrist is completely stuffed.

Yeah a bit of talk about Mathieson's attitude at the time as well. who do you think could fall for similar reasons this year? I think I've seen you mention SPS and Shai Bolton?

Think SPS will be Carlton if I had to have a bet. Otherwise Gold Coast will take him with one of their 3/4 picks.

Bolton I think is a late 2nd rounder +

I did say he was improving. A mate said his Colts finals were good and his kicking was much better ;)

Ridley, Begley, Rotham the three I'm eyeing off.

That's obviously taking those will be gone by then out. A pick in the 20s is hard to tell, someone 'always' slips & a couple bolt.

Would love any of them

How bad is his wrist?
 
Ridley and Rotham are skinny third talls. Talented, but not what we need. Either a powerful, goal-kicking mid like Begley or Poholke, or a quality KPP like Brennan Cox.
Whenever i hear the name Brennan all i can think of is
