Will Crippa win the rising star?

[Dominator_7]

Either way, its clear who is going to win it, and it wont be Criipps.

You should ve heard the way the commentators were gushing about Hogan yesterday.
The next Wayne Carey apparently.
He ll win because he's the first tall forward for a while to be good this early.
But when was the last time he dominated a game, the way Cripps dominates the midfield ?

If you think a bloke playing games in his 3rd season is early, then by all means! :o

I am not sure how Hogan even qualifies, he has been in the system since Nov 2012.

I'll be more happy if Cripps becomes a superstar, which he's well on track for, not a mere rising star.  8)

Let Hogan have his Rising Star. Key Forwards don't win Brownlows, dominant midfielders do. )

Not according to 2 of the Flogs on Talking Footy ...Wayne Carey bleating on that if Hogan doesn't win it a forward never will and Flog Watson changed his tune from last week...got the inside word Timmy

If he doesn't win it (which i don't think he will - but he should) it will work to our advantage. For the rest of his career he will be out to prove everyone wrong and that he is better than Hogan.

I think he has had a better season this year than Hogan has. He hasn't gone missing as often and has been a stand out in his better games. Hogan kicking 3 goals on the weekend might just get him over the line. How the hell do the majority of the commentators state Hogan should win it by a mile ? Seriously, by a mile ?

They don't watch Carlton games.

I reckon Cripps deserves to win but who knows how it will go?

One thing that may harm his chances is his inability to have an impact on the scoreboard.  At his height, the ability to go forward and be a genuine scoring option should be part of his toolkit, and that's in addition to the usual midfielder's goals that he should be kicking.

Hopefully, that will improve next season.

Cripps may not win the "Rising Anti Carlton Star Award" but he sure as hell will win a Brownlow long before Hogan decides to play regular good football.
