It's happening, so I thought I'd give the kid a welcome instead of what I've been giving him most of the day.

Welcome young man, do us proud.

Yes welcome Jack, let him train with Pendles over summer and see what he can do. I like the look of this kid. I think it helps that he can actually hit a target.

Remember, he could have chosen the Bombers, yes okay not really an option.

So we get a player Brisbane didn't want anyway?

Hope he works out but wasn't mentioned till the last minute. Hope he doesn't end up a fringe player.

Agree with the author, lets give Crisp a chance. If we can we see his kicking isnt anything special, then im sure the pies can too. He has plenty of attributes we could do with on the field and most skill deficiences can be improved upon to an extent when you are only 21. Hes a good size, likes the contest and works inside. There arent many clearance players with high kicking efficiency rankings anyway. The reality is, if he was a great kick, then we wouldnt be getting pick 5 anyway.
Now to greenwood, we can all find a knock on him but it didnt stop him being within a vote or two of his clubs B and F. That would suggest he was doing something right.

As for Varcoe, you can bag him all you like. Come back H, all is forgiven.

What are you talking about? He has a 2 year deal from Brisbane sitting on the table. You don't give 2 year deals to muppets. I'm not saying he's going to set the world on fire but geez, give him a break.

I'm not overly happy with the deal we ended up with either. But, Crisp is coming to our club, how he got here is no fault of his. Let's give him a chance and see what he's got. We know he has good size, pace and running ability. He's also known as very competitive and hard at it. That's already a good start. I actually think he's a good pickup and could help fill a need for us.

^If he offers all of the above then he can take Blair's spot.

I'm serious, his size would make him a more valuable player straight away in the same role that Blair according to his supporters occupies.

i put him at about the same level as Karnezis. shows a fair amount in the twos (looks too classy for the twos actually). Let's see what happens when the pace steps up at senior level.

I for one think the kid had zero trade value and could have been gotten for a third or fourth round pick in a straight swap.

This doesnt mean he mighten end up a very serviceable player in the blair or S. Dwyer mode (or in an absolute dream scenario, as valuable as H has been), but i think the probability of him playing more than thirty games in a good pies team is very low.

We basically have Pendles as the only elite mid left in our team (with any prime years left in his body - Swan is obviously elite too). We have a number of players who might become elite, but this is a massive step back for us in 2015. this is a three year move.

If you look at Crisp run though, he seems more suited to an Isaac Smith type role at Hawthorn. A running machine off half back and the wing. It's the main reason I've warmed to him. We need elite runners more than anything else and this kid looks like he'd be up there with Sidebottom and Young as one of our best. He could do that as a forward or even a tagger, but wing is probably his natural role.

This is how I see him being used as well. A spot opens up on the wing after H leaves, so hopefully he can grab it or at least put serious pressure on Seedsman to be more consistent.
