With wrestling. What a joke.
Carlton co-captain Patrick Cripps has been charged with wrestling by the Match Review Officer.
The incident occurred with North Melbourne midfielder Jed Anderson during the second quarter of Saturday’s win over the Kangaroos.
The MRO charge carries a $1,250 fine, which can be reduced to $750 with an early guilty plea.
The Club has until midday on Monday to respond to the charge.

I think this is a more serious issue to contest, Cripps gets manhandled every game but gets zero assistance from the umpires.

This is a simple matter of cheating imo. Time is overdue for the AFL to ensure it is stamped out. It's a very bad look to be condoning this ugly aspect to our game.
Reality always wins in the end.

Its unfortunate that this has to be discussed publically.
Cripps needs to get a bit nastier with his tagger. If you are going to go the MRO route, its really simple, iron out an opponent as legally as possible, and then we will see if they want to try all these tactics again. Get the suspension if you have to. It would be one worth wearing this season.
The other scenario is that we might elect to "manage" Cripps, and see the AFL likes their star players not playing football.

Yep..said this on the other thread, Cripps has allowed this to happen by being Mr nice guy and needs to mongrel up with his taggers and get even and yep I'd wear a week to make the point to his future opponents that its going to be a tough day playing on me...Greg Williams and Wayne Johnston can give him some coaching in this area...

His teammates need to help.
A tactic could be to drag an opponent to meats leading avenue, and bomb the ball on the opponents head.
Then get meat to do a fevola.
We walked a lot taller with Fev in our team.

Don't ask Cripps to be something he's not. We don't need or want mongrols. I'd much rather him hurt oppositions fairly than get sucked into doing something that tarnishes his name.

I worry that whingers may be winners, and sticking your chest out and braving things might just get you jobbed on the chin!
AFL is overpopulated with kents and ar5eholes that would run over their own mother for a win, I think it's the nepotism and narcissism that breeds this mindset. Eventually taken to excess it leads to a guy like James Hird, the "Whatever it Takes" man, who remains gobsmacked he has been tagged as a wrong doer to this day!
Unfortunately kents like Pittard and Anderson are more populous in the AFL than Cripps types.

Casboult doesn't feel comfortable throwing his weight around. It doesn't come naturally to him. When Malthouse told him he had to, he attempted to, but kept getting reported.
As for the tactic, its something i've long been a fan of. When in doubt, specifically when you have an extra defender in your F50, don't keep it off him, bomb it on top of him. Then everyone has a run and jump at him while he simply has to wait there until the pack arrives to clean him up.
Do that enough times and suddenly the loose man finds himself being 'out of position' a lot more.
