Cripps

Wonderful work with players hanging off him at stoppages. This kid is a verified gem. Sign him to 5+ years now

I thought they did extend his contract earlier this year.

Not only MIO did he do it with players hanging off him, but he was prepared to hold on for a second longer and take a hit to get his team mate into a better position. He's just a smart player.

Nothing more, nothing less 8)

Got to take a deep breath and remember this was only his 12th afl game. This kid could be anything

For those who were at the game today.....how was the crowd noise when Cripps was running with the ball into our forward half in the lead-up to Everitt's missed set shot late in the last? Even with 27,000 people, moments like those can make the crowd sound 3 times the size.....was an amazing atmosphere at that moment.

How was the handpass to Bell for his goal in the 2nd......still shaking my head in disbelief.......

Spine-tingling stuff. This guy will bring the crowds back IMHO.

He is a decent sized unit. He plays like a man, not a boy. He could be a superstar in a few years. We better find a way to lock him in and he is definitely our future captain. Ken Hunter would have been proud of his game today. I might get a number 9 ready for the next jumper.

I was impressed by the way that he did the 3rd man up ruck work. I also like the way he marked the ball. He is a kid and has his issues (pace being the obvious), but it really looks like we got this selection right! Now if we can manage that trick a few more times! Better get you #9 now: they are going to be in short supply soon.

Unreal Crash. I thought I saw the same thing, but my daughter thought, Nahhh a mid won't go up third man in the ruck. I saw it a couple of times and he won the taps. I don't mind he doesn't have real pace. Pendlebury and Watson are not speed demons either. We might find a couple of speedsters in the next drafts.

Cripps just looks like he enjoys a contest and doesn't mind pushing his weight around. I thought 12 games would be about what we would get into his legs this season. Looks like he will get every game before seasons end. That experience is something you can't buy. In fact I think his leadership has lifted Murphy, Bell and Gibbs to pull the load and lift. I seriously do.

Feel a bit sorry for Murph.

Spent the last 6 years being asked questions about Juddy and will spend the next 6 answering questions about Cripps. ;D

LOL, funny, and probably true!!
