Cripps said in the club article that they see him playing forward. He will be a small forward.
If we want to make the Magpies better why not just draft a Knight or Freeman type who we know what we will get from them?
I also really don't see how a small forward fills a short term need for us. All our injuries are in midfield.
It's just a bizarre pick.
Will he play AFL football this year?It really isn't a bizarre pick. Also worth noting that outside of Richmond, noone else really went the short term route
KPFI’m with you but Port have said they see him being used in the forward half.
Being short, slight of stature, athletic and a reasonable tackler, if he is going to be used at AFL, it’ll be through the forward line.
and Richmond wasted a pick on Parker who i dont rateIt really isn't a bizarre pick. Also worth noting that outside of Richmond, noone else really went the short term route

Three players no one touched are you Matt Rendell?Probably Knight over Freeman. Knight more reliable than Freeman.
Also would take Stengle if he was there.
I would have liked us to pun on Freeman who could be anything if he is over his injuries
Don’t even like the word pressure forward.Sounds like we see him as a pressure forward. Pressure forwards who don't kick goals are my absolute least favourite type of player. Hopes are extremely low.
I tend to agree and yet of having a defensive small forward who locks the ball in is what wins us a premiership then I don’t care what it looks like.Don’t even like the word pressure forward.
I the old days (twilight zone music in the background) forwards kicked goals defenders tried to stop forwards kicking goals...I liked it better that way.
Funny thing is, they have until 30 June to do just that. They just have to offer those players something better than what they have whether it's money or opportunity, get SANFL permission and pay a transfer fee. It's been happening for a hundred years ffs.
They're a moron ... but on a positive note re Cam Sutcliffe, I reckon he is playing the best football of his career in the Maggies. He has gone from "Meh" player to Match-winner this year!
Yeah in the old days size and shape never meant as much. It was all about being able to kick a football. You go way back when Bubbles Obst won the Medal in 67 it was easier to jump over the top of him than walk around him but he knew how to kick a footy.I tend to agree and yet of having a defensive small forward who locks the ball in is what wins us a premiership then I don’t care what it looks like.
The only Port premiership sides used to get criticized for being too old, too rough, too defensive, not skilled enough etc etc. yet come GF day they would beat the sh*t out of the pretty boys from Glenelg/Norwood/Sturt/North.
Imagime the reacts on here if we recruited an 18yo, 172cm Tim Ginever.
From his Wiki.
Tim Ginever - Wikipedia
en.m.wikipedia.org
"Ginever made his SANFL debut as a 17-year-old rover in 1983. If you were to undertake a detailed objective assessment of Tim Ginever's football ability - marking, kicking, pace, ball skills and so forth - you might conceivably end up wondering how they could possibly be combined to produce a player of league standard. Tim Ginever, however, was much more than just an average league player; he was arguably one of the most important SANFL footballers of the 1980s and 1990s, and provided conclusively persuasive evidence that success in football is at least as much attributable to mental as to physical capabilities."
