Trade him out. Bloody boat anchor. 
This digital world is too much for us insects to understand.

The problem is Walsh having a free running opponent, it means they got someone extra to sit on or roll off players like Fisher and SPS.
We are all super excited about Walsh, opponents don't give much of a stuff about him yet!

If you add to that situation this uncomfortable fact;
All our midfield tactics seem to contain,
- First receive the ball from Cripps........
- Cripps gets the ball.......
- After Cripps gets the ball.......
- Once Cripps gets the ball..........
- When Cripps has given the ball..........
But lacks,
- If Cripps doesn't get the ball...........

Exactly LP! And then we're relying on Walsh, who's played 10 games of footy, to be our next best midfielder.
Said it in another thread....throw the kitchen sink at Coniglio if he's a Free Agent.

GTC...Because Cripps is being blocked, sat on, punched in the ribs, handcuffed, assaulted and has to carry about 10 other players
on his shoulders and like Judd is at breaking point.
SOS got the kids he wanted but didnt pick the support team to help them, ...after thoughts like Mullet, OShea, Shaw Lang, Garlett, Kennedy etc havent cut it...

I have to pose this question, given Cripps is mostly traveling solo, and Fisher and SPS are getting beaten up week in and week out.
Why has Ed been kiboshed from the midfield, and why hasn't Charlie been given a run?

Agreed LP....hard to fathom why we'd try and fashion Ed into a defensive forward at this stage of his career when his best work has always been as a run with/lock down player. I remember some of his best games running with and tagging Selwood into submission and to the point where Selwood snapped. We've got Gibbons and Cunningham and brought in Fasolo but if we're plugging holes with Ed then it's an admission the other ones aren't working out.
That said, I'm a fan of Gibbons and he's been worth the punt. Cunningham shows a bit....when he's not injured.

Couldn't get them unfortunately. He did explain on Footy Classified that quite a few were basically VFL players but were big bodies needed to have around as the kids developed. Never full time. Reckon Kennedy will go ok once he gets a run at it. Biggest issue is the inability to attract a big bodied big name. That was the plan and couldn't get it to come to pass.
