Its a preseason match.
Let cripps get it all over the place and think he is awesome.
Just play tight on the other 17 players.
And use his man every opportunity we get,
Also Carlton probably dont want to run cripps into the ground in a JLT game if they arent stupid.
So his minutes may be limited, especially if he has already had a hit out against the hawks.
Youāre really starting to look petty now. Using a 23 year olds career averages when heās just broken out? Give me a break.

Iād have gone with the champ personally.
Apology accepted
One dimensional? Not elite?
You certainly have some odd views on players. Crikey
The one dimensional comment is fair enough at this stage.
Convince me otherwise.
And for the record Champion Data doesnāt have him as elite either.
So thats three of us.
Me, Champion Data and Chris.
No injuries is all I want to see. Oh and Cripps āaccidentallyā taken out off the ball
Heās an elite midfielder. He is rated elite in the following areas:
Possessions, contested possessions, clearances, tackles, score launches, contested marks and mark on the lead. Heās above average for overall marks and scores from very limited time up forward.
He is elite.
Heās also 4th favourite for the Brownlow and his team finished bottom of the ladder last season.
All buddy Franklin does is kick goals
One dimensional
fixed
Yes I got that Decks. I am saying it would be a massive surprise if Woosha brought back āhard taggingā aka ārun withā ( especially in the light of what Rob Harding said. I believe what Harding was referring to is the type of tagging called, āmaking a player accountableā ) However, I am pointing out that its not impossible for hard tagging to rear its ugly head again. I am happy to not mention āhard taggingā again. I would point out that for about the last 5-6 years ā2 ruckmenā was dead in the water, then a team won the granny with 2 ruckmen. Maybe it will come back in in 2019-2020.
āFantastic but not eliteāā¦ arguing over semantics here.
Any team would have himā¦ he tore us a new one last year, and looks ā fantasticā playing in one of the most rubbish teams of all time. Plenty of ways to measure this guyās ability other than Champion
Who knows, maybe it will happen. I donāt think itās that likely, except for the odd occasion where a player is a much better negator than anything else, and the ātageeā is an exceptionally more productive player than the ātaggerā. Game plans are evolving into more cohesive organisms in my opinion, where each bit is vital to the whole - as opposed to how it used to be largely individual skill-based (other extreme).
Cripps would make our best 22 and weād like him in our best 22
Just wait for KM to tell us Langford is a better player than Cripps
I think KM gets an unfair wrap at times due to his crazy over the top āDonnington loveā of Langford.
Apart from that, heās a pretty reasoned poster.
Heās given his reasons why he thinks Cripps is overrated.
Most respondents seem to be just saying ānah, youāre crazyā, without giving any real reason why.
I think if someone (particularly someone who watches a lot of Fark Carlton because they like seeing them Farked) wants to provide some reasoned analysis as to why KM is wrong, iād guess that heād Happily listen
