In my opinion, Carlton should sign up Pat for 10 years starting in 2018. He's contracted till 2017.
I reckon that with another pre-season, and more muscle and fitness in his body, he could become the greatest player that we have ever seen at our club.
In my opinion, this 20 year old is a genius. I watched some of the things he did today, and Judd couldn't have done them.
I recently saw a comparison between the two I think on Footy Classified, and at the same stage of their careers and Cripps is a head of Judd in all areas.
He should be made Vice Captain next year, and then a year after that become Carlton's youngest ever captain. his on field leadership is second to none.
if he doesn't win a Brownlow in the coming years, then I'll stand naked in the Bourke Street mall, and that wouldn't be a good look.
Barring injury, this kid will be the man to build a side around.
Let's hope SOS does the job he is employed to do, and we can get some decent picks and trades so that we can give this kid a reason to stay with us.
Because I can tell you now, every club in this competition would take him today.
With Cripps is that there may be a 'go home' factor down the track.
Right now we would probably consider 3, 20 and Kennedy as a trade.
As the years progress though WC and Freo need to understand the price will rise. ;D
