What if.....

What if.......


The Scum Cheats picked up Ben Lennon (pick 12) and we got Patrick Cripps (pick 13) instead. 

What sort of player do you think Lennon would be and how would Patrick be performing now at punt road?

Lennon would be better but Cripps would still be a gun.
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

If Cripps came to us he would have shrunk 6cm instead of growing 6 cm.

Lennon would probably be vying for the Coleman and I would been watching Cripps run around Punt road oval in the 2's.
The possibility of physical and mental collapse is now very real. No sympathy for the Devil, keep that in mind. Buy the ticket, take the ride.

Cripps is some sort of machine. Think a lot of clubs are spewing they passed on him

Look you've hit the nail on the head it's our drafting that is the key problem. FJ and BH have to go. We need a good talent spotter or three.

So were they also responsible for the recruiting at GWS, GC, Norf, Dees, Brissy, Bulldogs, Saints, & Collingwood (who had 2 picks).
From what I have seen, Ben can play a bit but he's being mismanaged.
