Brownlow Medal 2022

I think you were talking about trading him last season....  we are very lucky to have crippa.  He's a ripper!

I was, but that was with an asterisk of sorts, pending if we didn't think we could get his body right and back to his best.
If he remained 'broken' and giving us sub-par performances, he was hurting the team as he couldn't chase/catch anything.
His value would plummet and we couldn't cash in on his value.
No only did he get back to full fitness, Vossy was able to 'cover for him' by surrounding him with hard 2-way runners on he wings to ensure his man didn't get free, and also allow him to drift forward where he demanded a matchup.

Clearly, we did get his body right and S+C coaches deserves a pay rise. Not only did they fix Cripps, but they were able to get Charlie back to a level of fitness we all dreamed of AND get Marchbank back to AFL level as well. Not to menion Docherty putting in AA calibar year when we though he was a right-off.
Those 4 were all 'injured' for basically 2 or so years each. So pat on the back for them.
