In Oliver's 2nd year he averaged 111. He and Rowell play very similar.

Some players are just ready-made AFL guns. Didn't have Rowell before tonight but I'm cooling on Cripps and he's the easiest replacement. He may just live up to the hype.

Cripps has the runs on the board. He is supposed to be fit. Easy decision, doesn’t mean it will work out though.

He apparently had scans on an ankle last week. And I know it's only pre-season but he wasn't very impressive vs. Saints. I'll still probably end up with Cripps but Rowell could be very good. The fact Rowell is so popular offers some protection too - if he fails you're in the same boat as 50% of other teams.

Just to be a bit of a wet blanket- Swallow and O'Meara looked like generational talents early on too and now they're a fair way off that. The Suns have a history of demanding too much from young players whose bodies aren't ready to handle the load of being key players who get heavy attention from the opposition every week.

Good point, GC should limit his minutes to max 70%
