2017 Round 3 : Pre Game Thread - Carlton vs Essendon

[LoveNavy]

Can't Cripps wear a helmet that has padding along the chin strap as protection/precaution.
But I suppose we have to weigh up what is this game worth?
A shot at the finals?
Will we go backwards if we lose?
Will Crippa be worse off if he plays?
...Etc

The helmet is a good point. IIRC Murphy wore one post fractured jaw. I think we then had a little winning streak. He joked about wearing it regardless of need if it helped us win ;D
I guess it also depends on whether it's upper or lower jaw. I'm not sure what Murphy or Cripps have.
