I think we do need another inside mid who's ready to go like Cripps last year...we got lucky with Miles but we can't just go into next year relying on another GWS fringe player to solve our inside problems again,  I'd prefer Oliver -who btw, was invited to train with us this year - over Dunkley.... I'd prefer Ah Chee over Dunkley too though....

Cripps was drafted two years ago, the pick after Lennon.
I'm hoping after a year of injury C.Ellis will do the same thing :pray

Cripps second year was outstanding though, he was injured most of his first season ala Ellis ;)

C Ellis, watch him next year, will be a star, will make the likes of B Ellis, Batchelor and Conca look even more average then they are now.

Thoroughly agree.

We need a small forward but we need another quality inside mid more. Inside mids win you finals.

I couldn't handle watching us get bullied in the clinches in an elimination final again.

But we haven't finalised our rookies, that is who we are retaining or flicking. so we might end up with more

Don't we have to make a call on Thomas? Something to do with 2 years on a rookie list? Or is it three?

Appears we can keep him for a 3rd year

Cheers, must be three years then you have to re-rookie through the draft if you want them. Well, I think that's the case.
