Community Cup Carlton vs St. Kilda

[kruddler]

Cripps can and will outmark midfielders 90% of the time.
As dodgy as it was, cripps dominated as a tall forward in aflx whenever that was around.

[Baggers]

1.5 million and a pick 8 so they should
Saad leaked goals in first half
Is purely a player in the easiest position on the ground
Williams is a very good player but he did nothing in the last
We are asking a player to become a mid week in week out after he has played virtually all his career in defense
So he should on $850000 a year for 5 years
Martin by the way is so overrated
What has he achieved in his career so far
Poor recruiting over the last 5 years
I look at the list overall and there are too many average players
IMO we overate our list  we have for the last 20
Years
5 spoons
13 bottom 6 finishes
4 final appearances one a token
No preliminary final experience
There is your proof we overate our list
We lack pace so we recruit 3 establish players  who are quick give up picks and salary cap space and the presumption is we will be ok
We won’t progress unless SPS Dow OBrien etc get better

You wouldn't be a good friend of John Hollingsworth, would you?      ;D

Proof will be in pudding as always
As for Richmond
Their recruiting is the best in the business
Particularly in the last 4 years
They have depth
Williams Saad Mc Govern Martin
Those 4 combined cost us 3 million a season
We given up draft picks to get 2 of them
Liam Baker gets rookied running around for Subi
Is better than all of them
On less cash
9 of Richmond’s last 2 premiership teams contain players who were not top 50 picks in the National Draft
Dow SPS OBrien all too 10 picks haven’t delivered so far
Good List Management is the key to success these days
It’s the game breaker

Re: Mcdonald, he wasn't expected to be a ruckman, he has only ever played down back so its a bit unfair to judge him on that skillset.
Moore has been less than hopeless and has no idea about any facet of the game and has no place on our list.

So tigers recruiting in the last 4 years has been best in the business. But the team that won their first was arranged prior to 4 years ago. Which is when their performances were akin to ours....which you used as the benchmark for a crap list.

I'm not saying or list is good bad or otherwise,  just pointing out that your negative comments are exaggerated and over the top.

You could make the same point without the need for stretching the truth beyond a reasonable level to the point where it is just wrong.

AFLX ,.............. really it was virtually a non-contact joke?

Resting in F50, Cripps doesn't get to stand with guys 10cm shorter and 10kg lighter than him. The only time I've seen him effective in F50 marking was when he was allowed to mark coming in unhindered from the side of the pack, and most serious opposition won't allow him that luxury, they block him just like they block Levi. But perhaps our go is having too many of that type to cover them all!

From the video they just showed on SKY, I dunno what's up with steve silvagni, but it looked really poor when he seemingly ignored his own son's goal.

Agree that Cripps as a resting forward is not something I would get carried away with.
He is an inside mid and is as good at that role as there is but Ive watched him several times as a resting forward and he doesn’t fill me with confidence that is as dangerous as many fans like to think he is. Different story when he floats down deep when the ball is in the area and may get a mis match of a midfielder taking him but he has a long way to go to be as dangerous as a Fyfe Martin or Dangerfield when he is actually resting there as teams will use a real defender against him 

[Baggers]

I suspect Moore can put his CFC jumper in any seldom used draw he has at home.

At which point Jo nudged him and appeared to say "cheer!" and he just remained emotionless. I think him mum Rita was also seen having a word.
