Is the most unimpressive exponent of AFL skill I have ever seen at the Swans and that includes Bomford, Mott and O'Connor OUCH! [/B]

I think you are forgetting Jayson Daniels ... there was a man with no talent ...

He actually hit a few targets wearing red and white on the weekend, as he did in the Essendon game before that.

I missed the latter game, and must've missed those couple of kicks in the Roos game.

Disagree!

Don't you remember that day where he handballed the ball into the guys leg for it to go out on the full?

I think it was him!

The other problem with Sprigg's kicking is that when he tries for depth what he gets is a floater that make the defends life so much easier.

Something that Kirk is often guilty of. Of course, Captain more than makes up for this in other areas!
Hang on. Am I on to something here? Send Spriggs back to the bush for a year, have him remodel his game on that of Kirky and he will be a winner.

Your comments about Spriggs' lack of kicking ability reminds me a lot of Judd. Gets the ball, runs fast, misses targets. Would the same comments be made of Judd if he made the move to Sydney?

[Sanecow]

Yes.

Similar comments were made about Judd's kicking after the GF.

But Judd, like Kirk make up for their lack of kicikng prowess in other ways on the ground. Spriggs is YET to show much else.

Turn Spriggs into a run with tagger ala Brady Rawlings.

You still need skills and the ability to read the game in order to be a tagger - I think he would be better off joining the Commonwealth Games Athletics team - I mean they are so desperate they will accept any one right??
Hes not a footballer - and if he thinks he is than he is seriously deluded.

I think we should enter him the spring carnival where his pace and stamina might win a few. Hopefully he would not break down after a few races though. He he fails in the spring carnival, we can ship him off to compete against the dogs at Mooney Valley.

He'd win everything.

Legs, they don't have dogs at MV. Trots yes, flea-taxis no. Try The Meadows or Sandown or Cranbourne.

Spriggs doesn't seem to have trouble finding the ball its what he does when he gets it that's the problem

Ridiculous comparison.
