WOOF welcomes Kelsey Rypstra to the Kennel

Re: WOOF welcomes Kelsey Rypstra to the Kennel

As others have posted, I really like this selection.

It is pretty much a no lose pick.

If nothing comes of it, fair enough, just another MSD pick that didn't work out.

On the other hand, he could really fill a big hole in our side as a zippy defensive forward ideally this season or alternatively into the future.

It does beg an interesting question about how the club sees Clarke and A Jones, doesn't it?

Clarke is 20 with one preseason under his belt. His VFL form very good. Not an ideal debut but still showed great attack on the contest. He will be fine.
Arty I think needs a change of position. I watched him one play one quarter at half back in vfl last year and he was brilliant at a time when his confidence level was shot.
He don?t find the ball much in fwd half. This position change would change that.

Couldn't agree more. Arty is the one I am worried about, not Clarke.

Arty isn't a small forward though, he's a winger/flanker. Clarke is directly challenged by Rypstra.

Yarraville nets in their future?

Yarraville nets in their future?

I'd pay to see that. Rd 1 - Yarraville Nets, Rd 2 - Hawthorn Kevin Bartlett Oval (for BAD) Rd 3 - Wheelers Hill Hotel car park.

From all the talk of Bianco to Cal Twomey throwing a curve ball with his Craig-Peters tip then selecting Rysptra, cool name too, would have been ok with Bianco but i do like the Rypstra selection as it's pretty much a replacement selection for O'Driscoll and looking forward to seeing what he can do at Footscray.

Think he and Clarke could create a dangerous duo in the VFL whilst developing, also agree Arty needs a new position and the running off half back would be the obvious choice for mine.

Unless you were saying that when we took O'Driscoll I don't see how things change now.

Think he was a winger

Think he was a winger

He played as a winger but the club said they see him as a forward

Ah, cool.

He certainly sounds like a Clarke competitor too then, for some reason i thought he was hff/winger type rather than small forward.

Well we never got to see him play so it's understandable you'd remember the position he actually played as a junior rather than one line from Milesi

Just looking at some of his vids, I think he will need to improve his kicking looks pretty average to the eye.

This selection seems very Matt Fuller areas.

Quite perplexing.
