2018 Rd 17: Post Game whatever : Carlton vs Hawthorn

[LP]

I agree with most of that Paul.  However, Cripps was quieter than usual in the first quarter and that had me thinking that he may have been concussed.  I guess that clocking your opponent isn’t really tagging.

It’s interesting that Bolton is criticised for not tagging Mitchell when almost all other coaches do the same.  As you point out, Bolton has other higher priority issues to address than tagging a bloke who will still rack up possessions.

Cripps problem is more about the players around him not knowing what to do, or being sucked into the stoppages, than his inability to win the football. Hawthorn would swap Cripps for Mitchell in a heartbeat!
