Not sure I'd agree with the media assessment, he's not polled heavily so far in his career, his game style doesn't suit and the Brownlow often goes to run and carry types that get noticed in the clear! In 2019 he won the Rising Star and only polled 6 votes, he probably had an even better year last year and only got 8 votes!
Oddly, I won't be surprised to find Cripps out polls him, the umpires see under their nose the win of the contested footy and the break away, but the shizen DE% or missed set shots that irks fans and media don't really matter to the umpires.

Cripps, for whatever reason, is a shadow of his former self.
Perhaps personal stuff, or the Captaincy is burdensome, who knows but what a fall....
Finals, then 4 in a row!

"I think I was particularly hard on Sam Walsh. I said he is not a match winner, In hindsight I would use my words differently. He has been so impressive this year and I've got a lot of respect for him. I regret how hard I went on a young kid, and I would take that one back."
Dear Kane.
Thankyou for acknowledging your persistent errors of judgment, and the ill effects of your big mouth. No need to apologise though, because personally, I take all of your words with a grain of salt and splash of vinegar.

Coming together is the beginning.
Keeping together is progress.
Working together is success.

I dont think we should be offering mega bucks to Cripps or anyone else until we have Walsh locked away for a long contract.

All it takes is watching some of his media work, absent all other information, to realise he could only have been a tagger in his playing days, and a very good one at that. His ability to irritate the cr@p out of people is elite, a level that can only be attained through years of practice and refinement.

I like Kane.
He's a funny bloke.
An absolute clown ;D
He does it on purpose.
Makes these outrageous claims....Carlton and Adelaide are his prime targets.
One of our blokes must have got to him at some stage.
I think he enjoys the outrage, even when other commentators tell him he's being ridiculous.
You can see the smug half-smile as he says things.
I actually do enjoy the shows he's on just to see what gem he comes up with next.
Don't get upset with him.... laugh along, or ignore him.

Oddly, I won't be surprised to find Cripps out polls him ... Tend to agree. He’s so unobtrusive. Doesn’t remonstrate, doesn’t argue, doesn’t overcelebrate, hasn’t dyed his hair.
Just.plays.brilliant.footy.
Mind you, he’s got more of a chance now than if he’d played a few years ago.

How good is a win?
Made sure my boy watched the replay and he has been replaying the Carlton moves through the house for the last 2 days.
You'd wonder that we did win if you listened to a few fans around the traps.
Well done to the boys. If you cant see obvious improvements this year, you're not looking hard enough, or merely looking for the negatives.
