We've now seen Clem Smith is a sub candidate and when he plays a full game he doesn't score well anyway.

You can't base his scoring off that game.
He got little to no support, and he was expecting to play less than half a game, and got subbed into the game in the opening minutes in front of 83,000 people when he wasn't expecting it.

Yeah, not concerned. As I said I expect it will be a popular score.
Got very little doubt Martin will bounce back and smash out a 120+ score next week against the Dogs. He had a crap score tonight, it'll happen to many other premo's this weekend, but you pick them for the season, not for 1 game.

Standard Mick then.
Did Malthouse actually say "I can't see us losing a game"? Guessing he's been taken out of context here. And even if he said exactly that with the exact context everyone has taken it in, then he's clearly having a laugh.
It wasn't just NAB Cup challenge though - there was opportunity (Judd inside mid, Gibbs/Murphy more running midfielders, spots definitely open for a bonafide inside midfielder), he has size, and he's not a new draftee (couple of years in the system means he should be able to adapt to the game more easily, ala Hogan expectations).
He might turn out to be a dud pick but all the signs pointed to being a solid pick for his price. His NAB Cup scores were a bonus.

As for Cripps, this is his 2nd season in the AFL. I honestly didn't think he looked like anything special in the games I saw last year, and in fact thought he was a bit of a meh draft selection. Size is also extremely overrated, whether it be height or body shape. Take Robert Murphy for example. Can't argue about the midfielder opportunities though.

I took his comments as being directed at Maric/Wood. You've taken them as being directed at the entire Ruck division. Interpretation.
Hard when Goddard/Hamling/McKenzie aren't even listed on extended benches. Means they're a while away.
Agreed
+1. Was keen on Newton but switched based on all the hype. Moved Docherty to Newnes based on the hype too.
No-one to blame but myself. Back your gut, should know better.
Jury is still out on him, but i'll back him for now. I'm just thankful my 2 most disappointing scorers tonight in Cripps and Martin are 2 of the most popular selections this season.

Yes he was. Typically the HS went with it in order to run a double page spread arguing against it as if was a slow news day.
He turned up at a press conference and said "no doubt you journos are all after a headline, so how about this; it's very hard to see us losing a game"
Me too
Re: clem someone posted somewhere on here that he doesn't have a very big tank and that was enough for me so I thank you whoever you were.. In fact I'm going to look him up now.
So you will be starting Cripps on your field next week then?
Coz otherwise you will be parking OVER 200k on your bench. Unless you are trading after Round 1 of course.
How long will WhiteX's green string vest be do you reckon?
I'm trying to find out how soon Hawks people expect to see him. A week or so ago the prediction was Round 3 I think.
It's doable. Haven't made my mind up yet, but he'd be something of a POD and maybe a handy one at that.
I'd be starting McIntosh anyway next week, probably the week after and if he settles down to rookie type scores WhiteX should be ready to relieve him.
Should have done homework on Cripps. He has played 3 career games, I just put him in because everyone else had him.
