There was a major rejuvenation of the list at the end of 2010 when ten players were moved on. 2012 was a bit of an aberration but we have continued to turn the list over and it seems that some of the changes may bear fruit. A little bit of fine tuning, and a couple of guns, and we'll be right up there. We don't need another massive clean out and to do so will see us go backwards.

We have been rebuilding since the end of 2013

There's not much backwards to go in to

We've been doing exactly what we said we were doing - turning over the fringe players. if we're going to rebuild, that involves changing the core playing group - which isn't what we've been doing aside from the ones that walked out on us.

To be fair, a lot of Kiwi's can't take their wives to sporting events.
They keep jumping the fence and eating the grass.

Different ground + Different conditions = Different style of play.
Doubt you'll see the same handball:kick ratio next week back on the 'G.
Persuasive, but well off the mark.
For a start, we had around the same total kicks as in our three previous games but our handpassing increased by about 30%.
St Kilda must not have realised that the ground was smaller because they had their lowest number of handpasses for the season.
If Malthouse goes back to the kick at all costs approach, we'll cop an absolute flogging next week.

Cripps and Bell did very well in the second half. I haven't seen the first half yet. Henderson worked himself into the game.

I could see Malthouse wanting Cripps ....IMO his skills dont match up with pick 13 and like I said previously I see him as another Tom Bell type that really should be taken at 39/51 and that I would prefer a more skillful player at 13.
Pratty's man Jansen will probably be there at 51 and if I wanted the raw big bodied mid then I would be using that later pick to get him....
and i also found this...

I rate Cripps and i brought his name up a well before the buzz got started about the type of player we needed. I dismissed all chances of getting him as there were plenty rated ahead of him. He was rated in the pick 15-30 range. However, i was unaware that he was not in top nick at draft camp. My interests in him are increasing again as i think we need his type to compliment the players we have...and he'd be an upgrade on the likes of Bell/Robinson in terms of footy smarts.
IF we were to get our big bodied mid with our first pick, it opens up the door dramtically with who we can take from there. There will be plenty of tall KPPs available at our next 2 picks. Whether that is someone wanting a second chance Tippett/Thorpe or a kid with potential Fort/Hourigan/Gardiner/Marsh/Brown.
Not long to go now...
Your witness.

Good get, you have had a rough patch with Hughes/Rodgers and now Mick all leaving you hung out to dry
...I think I changed my mind on Cripps a couple of days before the actual draft but didnt rate him as highly earlier like you have cheekily pointed out because his kicking wasnt great.I will pay your tenacity on this one and look forward to returning the favour ;D

Just a correction here, Murphy had 3 tackles with his 24 contested.
Cripps had 11 tackles with his 23 contested.
