Cripps needs a rest(yound body and all that) , murph looked sore, don't want to overwork Krooz after a long lay off.
They are all legit reasons for some more list management.

There was that but in his few senior appearances he didn't look anything special, on the other hand I saw him play a VFL game last year and it was obvious he was a class above that level.
I'm not suggesting that Clem Smith has the ability of Cripps but he's a first year player who's played a handful of games, we'll know a lot more about him this time next year.
This time last year I thought that Nick Graham was a VFL footballer but I've reconsidered, hopefully Smith will cause a few people to do the same.
The only thing in this world worth more than a hill of beans is the Carlton Football Club.

Why all the hate on Smith?
How many Pick 60s play football in their first year and don't look like a deer in headlights?
He is way ahead of schedule.

How often has Hogan been on the field? Seems like he's in for one out for two.
Cripps deserves the award on what he shown, but...
We won't get the Rising Star award because WE ARE CARLTON.

In many ways the awards just don't seem to go to us. WE just don't seem to get the kudos.
I've got over that. But I still think Cripps deserves this one. Cripps has been a senior player all season and has been tagged already. Hogan has been up and down and has played 2nds football. I don't think there is any question that Cripps has done better.
Will that make a difference? I doubt it. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and most of the 'judges' don't want to behold us.
If Cripps wins, it will be extra special considering. If he doesn't, he will still be a champion.
Live Long and Prosper!
