Without Cripps I'm not sure we could win a game against any team including GC, has any Carlton team relied on one so player much?, even going back to Kouta I cant think of another player who carries such a load on his shoulders.
Unless we spread the work rate and match winning load more we wont get anywhere...I know we had outs but Freo had their key backs out(Hamling/Pearce) as well as Fyfe, Mundy and Walters...those last three are about as significant as it gets for Freo and we still lost by 8 goals and didnt have a player who really stood up and tried to take the game by the scruff of the neck.
With Charlie out for an extended time the pressure of being the match winner week in and week out continues to fall on Cripps...its not healthy and I agree with the Prof that we need some of this young talent to stand up and share the load.
