He was belted pillar to post today, and soon as he tackled or bumped someone they penalised him. Then he cops crap like the studs in the guts and nada!
re: Dusty....you need to watch him more, eg like last night vs GWS....he punched a GWS players straight in the guts who was doing what Anderson did to Cripps.....dont see as much of Fyfe so I cant comment.
I think it's time he needs to be a bit more Toby Greene, perhaps get some telephone coaching from Alex Silvagni about standing up for yourself!
It is funny really, last year I though Cripps best games came through frustration and anger, he seems to have completely lost that edge this season which makes me think he is carrying and injury.
Perhaps though this is all part of Teagues plan, it is certainly making Setterfield and Kennedy step up!
