No pre season and after only 2 quarters in this series he comes out and touches it 19 times in a half and we are criticizing him??
Cripps is a star. We don't have many let's not bag him as well.
Liked Weiterings game.

19 disp, 8 cont poss, 5 tackles and 3 clearances. Terrific work rate, but of those 19 disp, 15 are handballs. Should I be worried about this ? Because I am.
Don't worry one bit.
We all know his kicking is not a strength, he'll work on it, but his job is the clearance work and he's one of the best at it.
He can do damage with the handball
Greg Williams in his 1994 Brownlow year had around a 100 more handballs than he had kicks.

Cripps is still rusty, much better to come when he has more games and gets some fitness....been great tonight but has lacked support so some of his possies have not been as effective as we lack ball carriers with class to take his handballs.....his kicking is still wonky, one across half back sat up and we were lucky to win the footy from the contest..

He's an elite contested beast (great), who is very reluctant to kick (not so great). Watch any footage of him : extract the ball, then handball. I didn't really pay much attention until Rob Walls pointed it out :

In a game which has the word "football" in the title, in a game where precise kicking skills are worth more than hen's teeth, in a team which already has below par kicking skills - yes, I am serious, and yes I am a little worried.
Maybe the problem is that Cripps needs to be surrounded by players that can kick. Maybe it's not him. But its disturbs me that he seems so reluctant to use his feet.

Thanks GTC, I'm not watching or listening, just relying on reports.

Would like to see Bolton make a stand with Thomas similar to how melb did with watts.
Can't believe I'm saying this but would rather see Jacksh then thomas the dud in round 1.

Pickett could be a steal

364 hb, 278 kicks. - Ratio 1.3:1
Check Cripps's stats - he's running at over 2:1 hb v kicks.
Maybe I should be more worried by his team mates - at least he does something constructive.
Re: JLT game 3 - PaulP - 03-10-2017
Well, to this point, at least the score makes it look competitive, which is better than the previous two hit outs.
What's Levi's kicking look like ? Anyone see any changes, improvements etc. ?
Thanks

Seems a straighter more deliberate technique.
BUT still missing so nothing to be excited about.
