Cripps was well held, and I mean that literally.
I really dont understand how this is allowed to keep happening. Every game that Cripps is "down" - you watch the replay, and see him being held, with 2 hands, off the footy. he will get 1 or 2 frees, but compared to the 50 times they get away with it, then the tactic works... bliscavs played well, but jeez he was allowed to just turn and face cripps and do whatever he liked at a number of stoppages. and the number of times we would gather the footy and be tackled "as we took possession", or was it just a little before....
and, did we get a single HTB all night?? cats players being spun 360 before they disposed, taking a couple of steps but apparently no prior and as mentioned above - just slinging the ball out of a tackle, all allowed. again, reputation helps - liam stocker aint umpired the same way as joel selwood
