Mr.Craig's Rookie Spotlight

[Mr.Craig]

I doubt Hutchings would have been back if not for Embley and Selwood being unavailable, who's to say he won't be dropped again?. Martin has played three solid games and I see no reason why he can't hold his postition.

With Shuey being injured now along with the other midfield injuries you don't think that West Coasts midfield stocks have dwindled enough for him to keep his spot for some time?

You'd hope so but I still have more confidence in Martin.

[Mr.Craig]

Andrew Boston upgraded by Gold Coast. Could be on the radar soon. :)

Woohoo!

Thanks for the insight Craigy. :D

Care of Supercoach Paige...

Terrible News for Top 5 draft prospect Dom Sheed, who broke his collarbone in the last quarter against Vic Country, in a ground ball contested between he and Vic Country power forward Patrick McCartin.

McCartin finished the day with 10 marks and 5.3 however is ineligible to be drafted this year.

Dom Sheed finished with 29 disposals, 3 goals and was best on ground.

The game however looked to be Vic Metros, when Country gave away a 50m penalty with 40 seconds remaining, and it was man of the moment, Cameron McCarthy who at 195cms took a pack mark, 45ms out and goaled on the siren to win the game for WA on the siren.

yeah i watched that, absolutely horrendous news for the kid. he dominated the game aswell. really feel for the kid. happened with like 2 or 3 minutes to go in the game. unbelievable.  hope this doesn't become a big concern for him for the rest of his career

Hey Mr Craig, do you know about Mitch Clisby's JS? Thanks

Grimes and Macdonald will be back in a few weeks but if Clisby has a good game this weekend he should be right for a while.

Once again Norwood's Mat Suckling has carved up. 31 touches, 6 marks, 7 tackles for 126 DT.
Playing for Norwood, on the Crows list Mitch Grigg also had 34 touches.

Both been carving up this year. Possession to date
Suckling: 31, 24, 24, 25, 18, 26, 28, 41, 25, 33, 15
AVE: 26
Grigg: 34, 27, 21, 24, 22, 9, 20, 22, 20, 23, 30 AVE:22

MC do you think Grigg will get a game?

Think Suckling could be drafted as a mature ager like Barlow? Great numbers any draft chance or just a good SANFL player?

[Mr.Craig]

I think there's a couple of Norwood supporters at FF who could probably give you a better opinion on Suckling, just can't think of who they are off the top of my head.

He's a good size and weight and can certainly find plenty of the ball. My very preliminary opinion on this year's draft pool is that it's pretty strong so I'd suggest if he was to be picked up it would be via the pre season or rookie draft.

I'd love to see Grigg get a game. Given the Crows will be without first or second round draft picks again this year it's in their best interests to develop their young players. But as we've seen, the Crows are often quite conservative when it comes to that (they've used the 4th least players of any club this season).

[its me lads]

I would love to see him get picked up by someone. Played for Victoria Metro at the under-16 national championships when he was a kid. Had a knee Reco on 2007, got great character and seems like a ripper bloke.

Good article, I think if they updated that list Suckers would be a bit higher and Grigg definitely higher.

Had no idea we'd used the 4th least players out of all clubs, disappointing really.
Is Mitch the brother of Shaun from Richmond?

I think Toga is a Redlegs fan, not sure if he can tell me anything.
