Is he kidding? I would have thought he wasnt even really in the running for a senior spot. I love it how he admits he has no skills all that he can do is run - great footballer we have here guys.

[Sanecow]

I am on the Spriggs bandwagon.

[NMWBloods]

It's very fast, but lacks effective steering!

[Sanecow]

It's a lot more promising than the Nicks bandwagon I rode in 2005.

[hammo]

I don't think its that promising to be honest.

But he might be OK as long as his instructions are just to handball and not kick. I'm getting sick of seeing him deliver chest passes to the other team.

[timthefish]

i don't have a lot of faith in him getting back into the seniors on a regular basis but he's absolutely right that his stocks have gone up with the rule changes however.

i reckon he'll get 3 or 4 games this year due to injuries in other small midfielders.

[Lucky Knickers]

I guess if he sprints down field after a kick in rooly rooly rooly fast and takes an opposition defender with him he might be useful.

Can't mark can't kick can't tackle = 0 games

[Legs Akimbo]

Strange article. I though he was very ordinary Saturday and his disposal was ordinary, partly because he was consistenly disposing under pressure.

Not sure Spriggs is actually that quick and as for his endurance, is there a team with more bench rotations than Sydney?

He needs to come up with something a bit more compellng if he is going to be anything more than a pace setter in training, which he DOES seem to be pretty good at.

Get onboard now and be recognized later in the year for your amazing ability to recognize talent that other less canny individuals failed to see*.

"I am confident that I can use my strengths to beat my opponent by using my pace to get away and my endurance to out-run anyone.

"My skills have let me down in the past but you can't worry about your weaknesses as otherwise you can get yourself in trouble, you just work on them at training."

really.

I'm on. Will be in the best 22 by the bye.

[stellation]

He was as good as any of the midfielders that we had in the Bombers and Roos practice matches.

I am not capable of joining the bandwagon of any player who turns up to an AM in black stockings and thongs. Richard Cranium with capital D and H. Ricky sure failed as an examiner with this guy - he couldn't even get a run with St Blunda with that dress sense. Maybe flat feet is the reason his disposal is so poor.

Memo Spriggs - even if you're not a footballer - at least look like one.
