Pre game postulations: AFL 2020 Rd 7: Carlton vs Port Adelaide

[Thryleon]

I know the club has said that Cripps is OK, but he isn't. You can tell by the amount of strapping he has all over his body. I hope the club is thinking long term enough to let him recover.
I hate playing guys who are not right: it comes back to bite us on the posterior too often for my tastes.
But the club is well known for ignoring my opinion on this matter.

I agree, but Cripps occupies the best tagger even when he is off.  All he has to do is attend the contests without really getting in there, and he is worth having on the ground.

Its also useful to have a big lump like him down forward as he can take a mark even when not 100%.

There are times when I say dont play an injured bloke, but Cripps isnt a regular human.
