Blues hope 'The Extractor' is the new 'Diesel'

HE IS nicknamed "The Extractor" and has been likened to AFL great Greg Williams, but Carlton's top draft pick Patrick Cripps isn't daunted by the hype.After the Blues landed Cripps with pick 13 in last week's NAB AFL Draft, the club's national recruiting manager Shane Rogers excited Carlton fans by declaring that the Western Australian teenager possessed "a Diesel Williams-like brain", in that "he can see things out of the side of his eyes at the tightest angle".Cripps concedes he knows precious little of the dual Brownlow medallist – after all, he was just six months old when Williams won the Norm Smith Medal to pilot the Blues to the 1995 premiership, and was only two when the champion centreman retired in 1997 – but he is keen to learn.

"From what I've heard he was a sensational player. For my game style to be compared [with] him is an honour," Cripps told reporters at Visy Park on Tuesday morning."I don't like to compare my game to really anyone – everyone's got different traits – but I'd love to watch a bit of his footage and try and learn things off it."The Blues also unveiled their two other draftees, dashing full-back Cameron Giles and midfield scrapper Nick Holman, but most attention was focused on Cripps.Rogers also revealed last week that the Blues' recruiting staff had been referring to Cripps as "The Extractor" all season.

Cripps accepts that such nicknames are beyond his control, but doesn't shy away from it either."It's only a nickname but I suppose it came from my game style: I like to get in there and get it out. 'Extract' is a term you can use.Prosecutor Izolda Switala-Gribbin told Westminster Magistrates' Court: "A member of staff by the name of Hassan was at the time working in the office preparing a stock count when he could see on CCTV {$} a naked man in the corridor of the fourth floor.2013 bottom coil e-cigarette MT3 It's good," he said.He said his cousin,The index is up 0.4 percent this month, a muted gain fuel hose compared with October, when it rose 4.5 percent as investors bet that the Fed would continue with its economic stimulus after a 16-day government shutdown crimped growth and hurt consumer confidence.

He is now an imposing 188cm and 88kgs – an advantage of about 12cm and 2kgs on Williams in his heyday.Asked whether he could continue to grow into the key forward the Blues have been craving, Cripps joked: "Who knows? I could even be a ruckman."
