Football Department Review

[kruddler]

I have grave doubts any coach can construct a game plan under the current 6-6-6 and Stand rule that will slow down play enough for Cripps to keep up and be fresh enough to play like he did 3 seasons ago, even if he does overcome all his injuries.

It's not that Cripps can't play, it's that fans are not considering the effects of the rule changes, they are massive and have more of an negative impact on Cripps than perhaps any other player in the AFL.

Thanks for bringing that up. I was meant to add that to my 'list' of things working against Cripps.

If the bloke could kick, it wouldn't be an issue as much because we could put him forward, but i'd prefer Casboult to Cripps shooting at goal.
