Football Department Review

[Micky0]

At the same age, here is someone else stats....
1x AFLPA Best first year player
1x AFLCA Champion player of the year:
1× All-Australian team:
1× John Nicholls Medal:
1x International rules player
Captain

8 years later and another 135 games added and only 1x B+F and 1xAA was added to that list....and everyone would agree his career was downhill from there.

That player.....Marc Murphy.
Which player was better? First half of career Murphy or 2nd half?
Given Cripps is a much more inside player with more injuries and a shorter career expected....why would you expect him to be better in the 2nd half of his career?

And did we protect Murph or did we let his body become banged up too? So rather than put proper help around Cripps, we’re going to send him off?

Like DT, Cripps needs support! Let’s put that in place and see how he goes.
