I just thought it was a monumentally clumsy attempt and of course we all know he shirks nothing.Cap, No criticism of Cripps, most players have a moment like that in their career and you wont see that again probably ever but it goes to show its an easy thing to do when the the pressure is on and how the cameras capture everything so players who struggle consistently in that area or have been branded as suspect wont get much breathing space from scrutiny as there are more eyes watching and technology is everywhere recording every second.

In fairness to Cripps I thought he turned into a face full of pelting rain and glaring stadium lights, and lost the footy in flight.

A lot of talk about who should have taken the last kick. In the mayhem that was happening, the umpire making the decision probably was looking for a Fremantle player, being unaware of the downfield free kick. To then try to work out who the closest Blues player was is much harder as they have moved around. It is easy to look at a screen after the event to see whose kick it was and where it should have been taken from.
In terms of the defence of Brayshaw - he was in the air, there was nothing he could do - how does that matter? It was late Given the couple of in the back frees we had given away in the last quarter (correct decisions) a bit of consistency means it had to be paid. Love the commentators trying to defend Brayshaw on that.
I think that Docherty did see Brayshaw and it affected his kick, which was probably a good thing, otherwise it would have just been a bomb into our forward line that we wouldn't have marked or roved.
So glad we won after again trying so hard not to!

Nuh, wasn't that one. It was almost in the goal square and he was virtually stationary.

we go for the quick kick because our mids are to slow and our fwds don't lead anyway so this has been happening for years.Need to recruit quick mids that can seperate from the pack hit up on the lead .(fwd coach)

If I was a player I would stay the fck away from social media, in the fact the media in general. I wouldn't read a damn thing. The only opinions that would matter to me would be my team mates and coaches.

I like the way supporters are able to divine players' intentions, thought processes, instructions, roles, intestinal fortitude, application, motivation, etc ... but it's all good fun
On another matter, I'm rapt that Cottrell made his debut and got to back it up. He did some good things and his goal was great but I'm not sure how he could be among our best players with just 4 effective disposals :-\

It would be really nice if we could replicate that in the seniors!Also alot of that work was either done or initiated by dominant Moore. Pity he contributed zero in two games in the 1's. We have a long history of guys dominating in the 2's only to being nothing more than witches hats upon promotion. I guess this year is particularly challenging with the scratch matches. This reinforces the need for a competitive and standalone reserves team that is in sync with 1's coaching and game plan.
There were 2 long bombs from Moore from his own clearances from the ruck. Most impressive. Pity he can't do that in the seniors either!

Does anyone else think Cripps look sore? I mean he's looked sore all year. Massive bandage on his knee and sore back. May be making excuses but he clearly looks sore to me.

Well he's definitely not 100% fit due to some type of injury imo. More of the others have now started to share the load and hopefully Crippa will see less close attention in the future. We still need another midfield beast .
