Maybe play Cripps forward until Charlie returns given the lack of height there. Cripps is a decent contested mark and may handle playing forward well.
We have a decent record when Cripps doesn't play. Others who we thought we average step right up when they get to play a familiar role.

Weiters said in the post game they took away their easy uncontested marks (and possession) by playing in front. Who made that adjustment (coaches or players) I dont know.

Oh and three highlights for me:
1. H kicking his 50th for the year (first since Walker in 2011)
2. Stockers bone cruncher in the last, that sound!
3. Superstars (Walsh goal to put us in front ((or was it Eddie)

Fun fact of the day....
Jack Silvagni was our =5th tallest player today, listed at 191cm. (Jones, Weitering, TDK, Harry)
Lachie Plowman is the same height (although some suggest he is 193cm), and is asked to play on the Eddie Betts' types.
2 blokes, same height.....asked to play on the tallest and smallest of opposition.
Jack gets credit for playing ruck and punching above his weight......which he should.
Plowman gets chastised routinely because the smaller types give him a hard time. - Fair is fair. Give the bloke some credit.

Another shout out to Newnes, Saad and Williams who fought on in discomfort with early injuries. Bravo, boys.
Stocker, you're a bloody ripper.
Well Skippered, Weiters.
As GTC said, everyone stood up when, really, really, really required.
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17
