Crows back their mids in and dont tend to tag, I'd expect it will be the same tactic used by a lot of clubs on Cripps and that is to man him at the stoppages ie Sloane and then run off him
hoping to get him to run the other way and be accountable. A lot of Cripps opponents tend to get a lot of cheap ball so it gets down to how much they hurt you vs Cripps getting the big takeways at the clearances.
Also depends on how hard Walker, Jenkins, Lynch work to get on the lead and make those mids possies count, at the moment the Crouch boys etc have been winning plenty of ball and clearances but kicking to nothing down field as Walker and crew have been bludging and waiting for the ball to be given to them so a lot of the Crows mids possies dont hurt as they end up rebounded back out.
If the good Walker, Jenkins turn up we might be in trouble but if the typical Walker and crew from previous weeks rock up it should be a rebound fest....
Cripps needs to get forward a bit more this game IMO and use his size advantage.......very winnable game IMO.
