Nice work mate...and your Blues aren't going too bad either! Tho I think your rants are missed from those dark days of the Malthouse...

My rants were indicative of my love for the jumper and my disdain for MM. Very happy with Bolts as coach, can see game plan and ideas but need better skills. On another note - i am a big cripps fan, not only for being a blue but for his availability to people and persona (he's mate with a cousins son and he wrote a msg on blues jumper and signed badges etc for my 5yo son. His biggest fan) anyway... i have always rated him since his days over here in the west, but watching his game yesterday and mainly the 3rd up ruck takes and handball to target midflight (about 5 times) and a couple of evasive "2015 Fyfelike" runs selling candy and then hitting a target has made me question when he will win a brownlow rather than if. Just remember before slagging me as bias that was game number 30 i think. Seriously considering him in an SC fashion now too??

You Blues have had an ordinary run for a while, good to see it turning around. I would've loved Bolts to stay at Hawthorn to take over from Clarko one day, but happy for him to get his opportunity. You look like a club who loves footy again which is great. I grabbed Cripps in a draft comp and love cheering for him. He stood up next to Matty Lloyd on the footy show, he towers over him! Unbelievable size for a mid. Future captain and a Brownlow ain't outta the question one day. Good to know he's a decent bloke to boot, a good country boy obviously! Love your passion around here mate.

I generally go with the "no second year players" rule (I know he played a game or two the year before) - but gee he is going well - and the Blues winning a few games isn't hurting his scoring either. I probably don't have the courage to take him but he is looking tempting at the price ...

Hell of a game from Jackson Trengrove
Was thinking that could be an option with him seemingly going to ruck with no lobbe gor twelve weeks. Is it a silly thought to bring him in as a cash generation tool to move on at bye time as all other real cheap rookie def i think have shaky js?

Be interested to see what he's worth as only had 40be might just be a little expensive to come down from Adams or Tip

Im expecting 300k and considering weitering to him as a left of centre idea, then again may hold him for loophole use and for D7 if possible once team done or d6 if things go pear shaped.

Dropped 7k this week good times...

Trying to focus on the positives think I'm in love with DBJ or at least his efficiency. (95%)
