Cripps last 6 weeks has been a bit eyebrow raising if you go looking through his stats.
Hitting the scoreboard half the time on average, and fewer average disposals per game, along with a higher handball to kick ratio than usual. This might be a deliberate move away from relying on him too heavily which might be something that we discussed, or it might simply be because Kennedy and Hewett were doing a bit more at the coalface inside.
If i were to wager based on his form line, I would say that he was in good condition until the first GWS game, and then he picked up a niggle.
Interestingly enough, it was about the time we started rucking him that he started showing a dip in output.
