Again, it’s hard to defend when you’re the one with the ball and defending involves a lot more than tackling.
Cripps had 20 contested possessions. That’s 20 times he beat opponents for the pill. And how many times did he force stoppages or apply pressure that created turnovers or a 50/50 contest? That’s defence, and far more important than the odd tackle.
Last week Cripps had 27 disposals and 6 tackles. I’d take this week’s 42 disposals and 1 tackle over last week’s effort every time.
