Walk Cripps to the PSD

 

[Goroyals22]

After losing Ryan, having Cripps to mentor the young smalls will be great for them.

Especially when you consider the most senior players after them would be Owies and Brockman...

They are gonna look mighty confused when Cripps says if you get the ball give it to Ryan wherever he is…

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Someone I work with - great guy, unassuming type - had a long WAFL career and played two games for Hawthorn in the 80s. Looking at him you'd probably not expect it.

Even though he’s 6’6”?

Haha glad I wasn't the only one who worked out who it was

Not these days he isn’t!

It helps Fivey’s Facebook friends with me, he has a cheat code

Not sure what your excuse is!

 

[Mop]

It isn’t Steve Malaxos, by the way

Didn’t use anything about you, I just looked up players who played two games for Hawthorn in the 1980s

 

[THE A5]

Random question but whats the story with the rookie draft always being the following years? For example last years national draft was considered 2024, while the rookie was held a few days later and it’s considered 2025

Historically the PSD and rookie draft weren’t held til Feb/March, they’ve just carried on the numbering from then.

Yep, same! I was a Hawks supporter in the 80s which got me curious as well

 

[Mr Q]

I was a Hawks supporter in the 80s

Anyone that age has a few shameful skeletons in the closet.

(I was an Essendon supporter in the VFL before the Eagles came along)

[Priddis Is Done]

I don't mind Phillips - coming off Glandular is no joke.

Main concern will be his ability to increase his tank. Can he play 80% game time at a high level? Because I don't think we can carry an inside mid for 60% TOG at best.

Isn't he treakle slow? We are talking Priddis levels of slow.

 

[bzparkes]

Isn't he treakle slow? We are talking Priddis levels of slow.

He's not slow at all.

Gave Naicos a bath last year, until mastercoach Clarkson took him off to start the 4th quarter when they were like 40 points up, Naicos got off the leash and Collingwood won.

 

[Broken_Chairs]

Isn't he treakle slow? We are talking Priddis levels of slow.

I wouldn't call him fast, but also wouldn't call him slow at all.

His knocks are:

• Tank (pretty far back post-glandular)
• Versatility (can pretty much only inside mid)

 

[THE A5]

Meanwhile, E.Holland cripp walking to the PSD

Much safer than him Cripp walking to the swans

 

[Mop]

• Versatility (can pretty much only inside mid)

Fine by me, that shelf in our cupboard is bare as

 

[flamingEMBERS]

Has a club ever delisted a player with the promise to pick them and then passed on them for someone else when their pick has come?

 

[archiemoses]

Delisting cripps and rookie listing him is the most obvious list management move we are yet to make. Not even Matt Clark can **** that one up.

 

[eaglevision]

Something happened with Tony McGuinness and Sydney decades ago where he told everyone not to pick him then Sydney stitched him up.

 

[BSD]

If you Jamie Cripps would be offended by that, it would be serious snowflake territory. He knows he's in the last year of two of a career, and that to play on, there are things that have to happen.

It's list management. No one is going to snatch these players from under their existing clubs (the players just say it's either this, or retire and the other clubs don't waste a list spot on it). If we need the main list spot Cripps is taking, then we have to make that decision. It's the lowest risk decision.

As i've before said there are worse players on the main list than Cripps that should be delisted/rookied before him.
Why is everyone jumping on the rookie list Cripps bandwagon ?

 

[BSD]

After losing Ryan, having Cripps to mentor the young smalls will be great for them.

Especially when you consider the most senior players after them would be Owies and Brockman...

Cripps and Ryan scored around 46 goals between them last year, Waterman will have to have a 50 plus goals season to make up for them.
Besides Jake who are going to be our goalkickers next season and are they going to contribute 20 plus goals ?

 

[BSD]

There is no difference. It's purely a list management move. They still get the same money they would otherwise get.

If Cripps gets upset at such a move, after 270+ games, and at 33, then he can be on neither list. He won't though cause he knows the game.

You can't just delist Barnett, Cole and Bazzo and move them to the rookie list, as they are all under contract still. It needs to be someone who is off contract!

Those guys can have their contracts paid out and then delisted. We would also need to save a list spot for the MSD.
