At any rate, he seems more like an outside receiver / wingman to me, and the fact that he bears more than a passing resemblance to Ryan Houlihan (playing style and looks) can only be divine providence in my view.
The one who I think could be a real smoky as a top shelf on ball cameo player is McGovern. Despite my jibes that he loves Dave and donuts in equal measure, and despite my unfounded suspicions that he was instrumental in white anting Bolton, he is definitely a good footballer, a smart footballer, and with his size, skill and smarts he could be great in 5 or 10 minute bursts to give Cripps a rest.
As an aside, my secret wish is that Cripps edges closer and closer to Lethal as his career progresses, i.e an on baller who also kicks bags of goals. I don't think his kicking is as good as Lethal's, but he's big and strong, and a very good overhead mark. Go Crippa !!
Paul, Take your point about his potential but he averages about 14 games a season over the last three and I doubt he could
stay on the park if we threw him in at the coalface.
I think Jack Silvagni along with Setterfield are the alternatives though I agree the latter seems more comfortable on the wing
and having the odd tagging role.
Kennedy who was recruited as a mid looks better forward and lacks a bit of class vs the top line mids of the good clubs.
Part of my thinking with Cripps needing more cover is I would like to see him spend a fraction more time forward where he can gets some goals and win us some games.
