The fast open grounds surrounded by elite runners, he is the damaging distributor that they probably need (Fremantle more so). With Fyffe on deck, add Cripps to that line-up and they are a very difficult proposition. I would see about trading McGovern there as well. But what to ask for and get back?In my opinion we use Cripps wrongly, instead of resting him forward as a tall we should be resting him forward as a small to get at the feet of the talls and leave guys like Betts, Fisher and Gibbons on the outside.
Big H and Levi are hardly ever out marked, most of the time when they fail to mark the ball comes off their hands but not to our advantage. Imagine if they got a bit more creative and controlled with those failed marks and we had guys like Cripps and Walsh at the fall of the ball set to distribute to Betts, Fisher, Gibbons, Fogarty, etc., etc.! In effect a failed pack mark is a pseudo ruck stoppage.
