Cripps is ahead of schedule with or without his limitations. Hes a 60 game player in his 5th season of AFL (the first of which was a VFL gap year) most of it played at a good or better level.
Given that information, we are a few years off being truly competitive, because the rest of the crop that we have drafted (Charlie Curnow, and Zac Fisher aside) are still finding their feet at this level.
Yes we have gotten a leg up with some more advanced trades in (Pickett, Kennedy, Marchbank, Plowman), but these guys are going to hold us in good stead, whilst we are still searching for some additional talent at the end of this season and next season.
