Post Game passion: AFL 2021 Rd 6: Carlton vs Brisbane

Yet to see why we paid 800 K for five years for Williams. 

What do you think Cripps is worth on 2020/2021 form?

He seems to start ok but then fade out and also seems capped around that 20 possession mark which isnt enough.
Is he fit? or is the transition from half back to midfield a bit hard endurance wise.
He needs to lift or the club will cop plenty as more scribes analyse the list..

750K a year for three years.....but we know that wont happen

[Macca37]

We just don't have skills and class to compete at this level.

Says it all, really.

Agree but I think he will get better as the year goes on. Thing is he made his name as a running back but we paid for the ‘hope he could be one a a grade mid’ cause he shown it in one final.

Was always risky to pay for a premium for something unproven but as the cupboard is bare in that area we were forced to make a desperate play.

I am hopeful that Z.Williams improves as he has had a couple of niggles pre-season (calf) and recently an ankle.  But yes we are yet to see 800k worth in action

I’ll take Freo’s 1st a top 5 pick (2021 strong draft for quality midfielders) and very soild B  youngish player that can give us immediate impact.
Free cap space too, so chase another quality Free Agent Midfielder.

Agree underwhelming, however first year after recruitment is usual like that all three 2020 additions will be fine next year.

Next year is too late.  Liddle said "the time for development is over".  Something is going to give.

[Baggers]

More fancied teams than us lost by 97 points and 40 points. 

Yes, but they don't do it week in, week out, month in month out, year in, year out.
