True, Jones looked 1000% better, Weitering would have benefited as well if he'd played.
Back on Cripps, a lot of comparisons to the likes of Brown, and I've made comparisons to Hodge as a physical leader. But both those players had serious and physically imposing counterparts besides them early in their careers, Cripps has nobody at the moment. Would Hodge have been the same without someone like Vandenberg's sacrificing his own game, and Johnathon Brown had blokes like Voss, Scott, Scott, Johnston, Leppitsch. Does Cripps have enough "backup" to be that type of player / leader?
In terms of aggression, after Cripps I reckon our next is Daisy probably followed by Plowman and Lamb! We just don't have many of that type!
