David Spriggs

[rossfunke]

Just wondering if you guys think if we got Spriggsy back to the club.

He is out of contract, and had a awesome year in the swannies reserves team, also was an emergency for the Grand Final.

His pace has defienetely picked up since he left Geelong after that shocking accident, and his skill level has picked up too. Guess training with guns like Goodes, Kirk, Hall (quality players) helped.

I rated him very highly when he was with the Cats, and I think he could be benefitial to the team.

Could we use our final pick on him or get him in the PSD?

how can you not have an awesome year in the swans reserves??

He was averaging 30 possies a game, if Sydney were not a Premiership side/Runner's up, he would be playing senior footy for sure at just about any other AFL club.

Spriggsy's a dud mate - didn't want it enough at Geelong the first time around - why would anything have changed?

 

[jess_555]

I think he might be another one fo those guys that can play great in reserves but can't get it right in the seniors.

I don't think we would want him back anyway. I mean do we really need another small midfielder who is good-average?

 

[someday-somehow]

If he's that good why wasn't he in their best 22?, I think he was crap the last couple of years at Geelong and I don't see how that would change, pick him up as a rookie if noone else wants him perhaps

 

[rossfunke]

the last couple years at geelong were average, but knee reconstructions are very hard to come back from, and i watched games of him this year and he just looked dangerous, and could add whats missing to the geelong midfield... pace.

Sean simpson is my landlord - nearly died when the penny dropped when the missus and i were moving in... still got the awesome mop - helluva guy.

I'll see your Jamie Lamb and I'll raise you a Tristan Lynch

 

[Scarlett30]

He would still be at Geelong if he didnt go to the beach that day.

 

[BlueNWhite]

Who what where?

 

[TheRealComptroller]

Joel McKay and Leigh Brockman.

McKay was pick 15 in 1997.

BROCKMAN WAS PICK 8 IN 1996!

Ezra Bray was a real waste too; top 20 pick who never made the senior team.

trevor poole anyone???

 

[darren forssman]

He would still be at Geelong if he didnt go to the beach that day.

it never affected his disposal though...which has always been shocking.

 

[BlueNWhite]

How about a young metrosexual Daniel Lowther?

 

[darren forssman]

or Bret Bailey, one of our first trade dabbles.

 

[Whispers]

He was averaging 30 possies a game, if Sydney were not a Premiership side/Runner's up, he would be playing senior footy for sure at just about any other AFL club.

My mate who played in Sydney last year said that our GFL seniors is on par with the standard of the NSW league so 30 touches is good but not outstanding...

Do feel sorry for him because he has contested against some quality midfielders to play senior footy. However, I'd rather have a slow midfielder that can pin point passes instead of a fast midfielder who turns the ball over by foot.
