Giving up Cripps to the Eagles too easily

[samuraisaint]

One of our biggest stuff ups this decade. And despite promises to the contrary this deal has never been reciprocated.

[Scollop]

Down hill skier. Soft. Has pace and is a good shot at goal but easily replaced

Looks good in a team with a strong midfield

Loves bruise free footy.

Cripps basically walked out. So I don't see how you could call it a stuff up.

We could've held out for more. The coach at the time didn't try to stop him. The Eagles said they would reciprocate in the future but haven't.

He was already a good player for us kicking goals regularly. Gets plenty of the ball.

it was get the mid 40's pick or nothing it was only completed in the last 10 minutes of the period so the saints played hardball, tried to get mitch brown in the deal but didn't pan out. Should have got Koby Stevens at that stage but were too focused on Brown.



Was the Pelican period thou so who knows!!!! The stickler could have a extra coffee machine in the break room

Yet, stay tuned, in fairness to them, they took Hickey!

Weren’t they considering giving a a first round pick for Brown?

[wasaintsfan]

I thought cripps wanted home to WA and to play only for WCE. I thought ue refused to play for any other club come that trade period?? May be wrong but you can't keep some one when they've made those intentions clear.

[saynta]

Wasn't given a fair go by the Tosser Flosser, same as Tom Lynch.

[Scollop]

There's an election slogan in there somewhere

A Fair Go for All Players.

C'mon Cho. How'bout a fair go for Brandon White

[SinCitySainter]

He was homesick for WA and just had to go home to his mummy.
Then when the Saints agreed to get a trade back to WA for him he decided he was so homesick that he could only possibly play for the Eagles and Freo were not an option.
He went out of his way to limit our options so I have the same level of disdain for him as I have for Luke Ball.

[saynta]

Completely different. Ball was forced out.

[tedtheodorelogan2018]

Cripps chose to go home and stuffed us over last minute. Bloke is a deadshit.

[SaintPav]

Bloke is a deadshit.

Nicely put.

[SinCitySainter]

Yeah, and Ball refused to talk to any other club except for Collingwood after he had been talking to Eddie since midway through 2009.
Forced out is garbage.

I think this happened because it was made very clear to him that he had no future at the Saints.

In Mission’s book they outright stated that they didn’t think he was capable of putting in the amount of work required to get over his injury... and the coach started playing him less and less.

I think it was a tough decision for Ball who is a loyal guy but he saw the writing on the wall, committed to Collingwood and did everything he could right by them know that RL would screw him over first chance he got.

Tough situation for him but personally I think Luke was completely in the right

They also took Hutchings who has become a very good player.

[Joffa Burns]

Wasn't given a fair go by the Tosser Flosser,

Played 4 games in his first season in a team that finished 6th.

Played 12 games in his 2nd season.

Don’t let the truth get in the way of a good story

[guitars4]

That's the big issue drafting a W.A player the go home factor is a real concern. Especially when the home teams are doing well .

[degruch]

Bloke is a deadshit.

Nice call...a close mate of yours?
