A number of clubs openly laughed when we drafted a "fat, unfit" Cripps. I do take exception to the fact that everybody we drafted pre-SOS was a dud, many were highly regarded juniors. Some like Giles were cruelled by injury, others were nutcases, but poor development certainly played a big role in the failure of many to come through.
I would think that an impartial analysis of why that was so would be a very interesting exercise.
Reality always wins in the end.
