As with Williams when he first came to Carlton and players were being hit on the back not expecting a handball the receivers are leaning to expect Cripps freakish handballs.
Seeing Jack with that unique gait the years rolled away and I was reminded of watching his dad as a young player. Jack looked confident with his skills on the backline and I wouldn't mind seeing him tried there while he's developing.
Wasn't it uncannily familiar
He did it another time earlier in the game too but that was more striking.
Not sure it's been mentioned...but Hawthorn were pretty flat in their game as well.
Maybe the week before took a bit of a toll on both teams.
