I think the unfortunate circumstance of Kelly gives us an opportunity to play Spriggs and it gives him a chance to prove his worth. Itsis apparent by the posts on the board that his name is almost always the first mentioned when trades at years end is raised, the issue might well be that if he is seen in a poor light his trade worth might not be what one would hope.
What would Spriggs be worth. Well, Street picked at 17 and after 5 years on our list, minimal play, moderate success, we traded him for 20, basically around the same trade pick as was used on him in the draft.5 years of training education etc raised his value not one jot. We used the pick gained to get Haynes who was drafted by WC at 16. He had played several good AFL games but as he was out of contract he and he wanted out they probably had little bargaining power. It seems that unless a player has raised himself into the top 10 to 15 players, his value will diminish and the pick used on him will be deemed irrelevant. Therefore Spriggs , picked at 15 ish would not be worth that now.
The one chance we have at least getting something decent for him is to play him. Street would probably not have even been worth the pick we got for him if
1, we he had continue to play him in the VFL.
2,When he played his last match against the Saints he played his best game for us.
We must give Spriggs a chance to show his worth to us and other prospective clubs. If he manages a BOG somewhere or even some solid form his chance of staying in the Big time with us or somewhere else will be raised
