Kerridge is a good B grader but wont take the load off a player like Cripps, its essential we recruit a couple of big bodied mids who can be trained up to help Cripps and allow him some time out of the middle and rest a bit more up forward so he can also expand his game and become a regular goalkicker.
My greatest fear is we will overload Cripps and he will either break down with injury or not develop to his fullest potential...
^^^^ this.
Cripps is being expected to do too much, specially with Murphy out.
We certainly need at least 3 new mids. The problem is we also need a decent KPF ( a'la Patton ). Harry McKay is 2-3 yars away yet. ( That's if he makes it at all ).
With Jammo off the radar we will need a KPD too.
About 2-3 years away yet I reckon.
I spent most of my money on Women and grog.
The rest I just wasted.
