Northern Blues vs Essendon

[cookie2]

Good hands and good use of the body when the ball falls to him but he has a bit of learning to do to have a greater impact in the clearances.

Thanks RR. Sounds like he has something to work with but needs a bit more development and more experience in the role. I know he's not quick but if he's playing at the coalface maybe that's not as important as if he were trying to become a breakaway mid - Cripps doesn't exactly burn up the turf but he is elusive and very hard to drag down, and often breaks out of attempted tackles to give the ball off effectively.
