LeCras is definitely an opportunistic forward and very dangerous near goal, but he is nothing like the classic small fast fwd such as Eddie. I don't know where Jack fits in here - LeCras wouldn't have been someone I would have thought of comparing him to that's for sure.

Hopefully this works out as it says here.

Well we know we lost him to an academy bid, so no doubt we had intended to take him!

I actually think he and Newman will be the best of our recruits.

Hope so too.... but if SOS rated him no1 - why did he take taranto ahead of him??

He didn't, he bid on him at 6, GWS matched then he picked SPS

ahhh - i was thinking sos was GWS list manager in '16!!!!! of course he wasnt!

Looking forward to seeing Setterfield get an injury free run at it. SOS is a pretty good judge so if he had him at 1 he must be a handy player. We cant have enough young midfielders on the list.

Agree...be good to be able to rest Cripps and not lose anything in the clearances when he isnt there, at the moment as soon as Cripps goes forward or off the ground
we get slaughtered around the ball. Think I read we only had two players in the top 100 for clearances and two in the top one hundred for contested possessions ...Cripps and Ed Curnow in both categories.
Not going to win too many games with those stats......so Setterfield and Kennedy need to play their part and get in the top 100 in both those areas
Melbourne had eight players in the top 100 for contested ball, Collingwood nine, West Coast seven, Richmond seven, ....
Its not rocket science...we dont have enough players putting the head over the ball or playing 100 minutes of contested footy......think we were last in forward entries too.....
No surprise either that Cripps and Ed Curnow lead in these areas of us......they give you 100 minutes of effort each week....Ed can butcher the footy but he always gives you effort...
If we can get 5 players in the top 100 of those key two areas ie Clearances/Contested we win games and become competitive again.....

The Bomber would have picked him up at number 1 but didn't want the embarrassment of GWS taking him.
