The subject says it all.

After one season with the Legs, how do you lot rate Heath Culpitt?

This is an interesting one, with many I know having varied opinions. Personally, I think he's been an excellent addition to the midfield, offering a bit of real grunt. Must admit, I had my doubts pre-season, but am very impressed at the very good example he has set his teammates in a number of areas. Not sure how he polled in the B&F last night, but felt he deserved to be recognised for making a wholehearted commitment to the club, and the cause, from day one. My understanding is that he has also been excellent in his commitment to off-field work at the club, helping out younger players etc. Norwood should be pretty happy with this one.

I'd heard all the stories about how much of a problem Culpitt could be. In his time at Norwood there's been no evidence of this, and he has proven to be a valuable member of the Norwood team. I hope he plays on in the Redlegs jumper for many seasons to come.

I think that he's a good player, always one to watch.

Has been excellent ... His downfall probably comes in the leg speed department and disposal by foot at times, but is as honest as the day is long, keeps his head in the clinches and is one of those blokes who inspires his teammates on and off the field.

At times he played this season with injuries which should have kept him out for a few weeks, and by the end looked to be showing the effects of fatigue after a 12 month season ... Certainly deserved his place in the team this year and I think can only get better in 07' after taking a break (and giving the NTFL season a miss).

Copped a fair hammering from the Snouts and I reakon his turn to smile will come around sometime over the next few seasons :wink:

(God I hope it does)

when we played the legs i was worried that he'd run amok. but he didn't perform against us. i do remember he hand-balled to mouse who set up a goal

Isn't it time the Glenelg people got over it?

I think this year he was too stuufed after playing up north.

Posted: **Mon Oct 23, 2006 11:27 am**

THATS like every other year he plays up north in the off season and runs out of legs by july/august

Yeah but he's not now, wonder what changed him? :wink:

maybe he's a vegetarian-head now.

Good luck to him, i'd guess the majority of Bays fans would wish Culpy nothing but the best as a reward for very solid on field performance while with the bays. And i personally never witnessed any of the alleged "off field" trouble so i can't comment on that side. I always found Culpy a good bloke to have a chat with and he was always polite and chatty with my family.

I think off field incident was Neely.
