Cripps was an inspired pick by Rogers.
Trying to take the credit away from him or suggesting it was a fluke is pathetic.


Who's to say at what point intent becomes 'inspiration'? It's not as if we picked him out of our a***s; pick 13 isn't exactly a rubbish pick. The point is that one 'inspired' choice and one or two 'okay' ones in three years doesn't equal a "great job".

But giving plaudits to our recruiting team for a strike rate of about 10% over the past 10 years is setting the bar very very low.

I think that you left out a decimal place in the percentage figure.



even a clock that is stopped is right twice a day.

Can't work out where to talk about Corey McKernan so here will do in a tangential kind of way.

So we paid pick 14 plus a few more for two years of Corey. This I had forgotten. That's an epic fail, and yet I recall his first year coming good after he lost the fumbles. But two years? Wtf!

North got doughnuts out of 14 and 30. But Stevie J, Mitchell and Montagna went post pick 24. This is why it's important to keep later picks, we never learn and are doing the same thing again. Parker, Sloan, Beams and Hannerberry are examples of recent late pick gold.

Ah yes, seem to recall we traded into the 2000 dud draft, traded out of the 2001 super draft
