It was more about Cripps being a 'step up' from Murphy playing a similar role.
Sure, its not about accountability exactly, but it can highlight accountability.
The only similarity in their role is that they are usually in the same part of the ground.
It's probably also worth considering that Murphy is 180cm and 80kg and Cripps is 195cm and 93kg. A midfielder of Cripps' size needs to be able to use his strength and size to hurt the opposition both physically and metaphorically. Murphy, on the other hand, has to rely on his speed and footy smarts to hurt the opposition - and that's not implying that Cripps lacks footy smarts.
