Look I know people want to drop Jones and I understand why but this week in the one where he will get a undersized opponent given the Saints really only have two tall defenders
in Delaney and Fisher unless they play Bruce back. I think he can beat up on the likes of Roberton or Shenton etc if we can get the ball to him and this could be his week....
Not too sure of Cripps' conversion as he had his first shot for goal for the club yesterday. Not sure what it was like at the NBs though. I just feel he's a big boy (not feel in literal terms..haha), takes a great pack mark so from what I saw in the NBs, if a similar player like Whiley comes in, Cripps can be good forward target. That's what I think anyway looking into the future.
I'd like a couple of running, 3rd tall types on the forward, Walker and Cripps, with Hendo and Casboult. Casboult already has a huge job having to play two roles so a bit of help there would be good for him. Add Menzel there and we're just short of a small forward. comes down then to how the ball is brought in otherwise it doesn't matter how good a forward line in.
