I couldn't believe that he had so much of the ball. He did a couple of good things but I would have guessed that he had 15-20 disposals. I guess it shows how footy stats can be deceiving, particularly when so many possessions are uncontested and are simply switching the play. In his defence, his team-mates probably didn't capitalise on his work.
Cripps, on the other hand, took the game on and was creative and effective with his use of the ball.
