Pleased that you are an adherent of my dialectic ruckilianism.
Amartey has the talent, but will that be enough? I was a long time waiting for the shoe to drop for Gary Rohan. It was a long wait. Maybe it's finally happened with Geelong. I hope it happens sooner for Joel.
If anyone can profit from emulating Buddy, it's Amartey. They're really quite similar. Amartey is Buddy without the swagger and competitiveness. I don't know if that's teachable.Comment

My June prediction. Patrick Cripps will join the Swans as a RFA at year’s end.Those who have the greatest power to hurt us are those we love.Comment

Just to give an example. If Amartey played in a similar manner to Aaron Naughton, he would be one of the very best forwards in the game.Comment

Rumour - Just saw Tom Harley, McVeigh having a coffee with Cripps | BigFootyComment

It wouldn’t be a surprise as there has been no announcements made or hardly any comments in the media since I posted this rumour from BF a few weeks back. Apparently the premature announcement that he was resigning by Carlton wasn’t appreciated by Cripps.

Cripps is a great player and would be amazing: however I have trouble understanding why he would leave. Surely the C club would offer him as much money as any other club. As far as lists go, nothing wrong with theirs, they just need more heart. As the captain, it would be a bad look to leave. He doesn’t have the need to come to Sydney like Buddy did, or for that matter Joe Daniher. So bottom line: he ain’t coming!
I agree it’s very unlikelyComment

A new 195 cm goal kicking forward has come into Cal Twomey's Draft team of year.
Twomey's Draft Team of the Year: WA goalkickers on target, Saint's brother in
............. with the somewhat comical name of Jye Amiss. It could be a challenge for nonnative determinists.
I better start working on BT's script for next year. Plenty of material here.Comment

Oddly enough, about a week ago, Gerard Healy floated the idea of Patrick Cripps undergoing a positional change, as reported here: Ex-Blues assistant responds to radical Cripps role change idea
Healy's proposition to turn Cripps into a forward/ruck is something I wholeheartedly agree with, and combined with the meeting in Sydney, gives the rumour a bit of substance. He stacks up well against other options like Mabior Chol. But I can't see how we can afford the price tag.Comment

I agree that Cripps is very unlikely to be coming to Sydney for a bunch of reasons.

Good comparison of Cripps with Hanners. His body is already beaten up. It's way too risky for any club to take him. He's going to be overpaid for what he can deliver from here on, regardless where he ends up.Comment

And in much the same way as Milton Friedman had a lot to say about centrally planned economies.Comment
