It's a bit like labelling Kouta inconsistent because he wasn't BoG every game. I get that fans want the stars to shine, but sometimes 2nd BoG or getting some AFLCA votes is all that you can hope for.
If Cripps form is patchy, the same fans must think it's time to drop Charlie and BigH! :o

Cripps has been a known quantity in the AFL for years. Without looking at the detail, I'm guessing the tactics against him in R20 would be the same as R1. What may have changed is not the opposition tactics per se, but rather than Cripps may be fatigued, injured, or maybe support from team mates has dried up because they're injured. All of which would make Cripps easier to tag, but not necessarily that other teams have changed what they do. IMO.

Cripps, Walsh & Saad are standing out as beacons, because of the support around them falling away because of injuries and fatigue.
Stop/limit those 3 and there just isn’t the numbers to keep on keeping on.
We live in hope however…

Our interstate win rate has been very poor this season but thats ok because I think we won the games we had to win.
Can't play the way we did against Geelong and Saints. Hunger level needs to be amplified by 500%

If GWS happened to beat the Bullies before our game starts tonight therefore securing our place in the 8, would this have a positive effect on our group to play with more freedom and mentally less pressure and a better chance of grabbing a win??

It may help them to play with less mental pressure, but I'm not sure about playing with more freedom, since the latter is due more to game plan and coach instructions IMO.

We know we're in, now let's show everyone that we mean business.

PP....I'd like to think we play the way we need to play....regardless of the results of other games. Anything resembling the last 2 weeks and Melbourne will take us to the cleaners tonight.

I think so. One of the coaching cliches which is currently in vogue is "to play our way." Leaving aside what that actually means, I suspect Voss, like most current coaches, is very method and systems focused. I get the feeling that he will go for "run and dare" only as a Plan B or C.
