Marcus Bontempelli Vs Patrick Cripps

[ManOfClay]

Cripps 30 disposals, 9 Clearances (5 centre clearances) and a goal assist.

Just saying

In an 81-point loss to a bottom eight side. Cripps is a gun inside mid no doubt but for impact on games it's the Bont by a bit of a stretch at the moment

 

[Dazb86]

Bont is one of those players that can tear a team up with 20 touches. He's a very direct player.

Which makes it harder for Cripps anyone with any idea would know this.

Is Nathan Jones better than Scott Pendlebury because he has to work harder?

Your the one posting stats and down playing them due to opposition.

Errr yeah okay then. Way to confuse team with player

Answer the question ?

 

[Adam H]

Answer the question ?

Completely different.

 

[Monkey King]

Answer the question ?

So is Selwood not a better player than Gibbs because he works harder?

It's just a meaningless question that could be applied either direction across a range of league players.

That's an obvious answer though

 

[thetradesman]

Bontempelli easily for mine.

 

[Monkey King]

Of course. You can load the question any direction you want, which is why it's so pointless.

 

[Bulldog1954]

Yeah Cripps is doing it on his own at the moment while Bont is part of a full strength side.

Bont is still getting tagged in the "full strength side". Jacobs went to him yesterday and the Bont was still close to best on ground

He was best on ground

Yes but Cripps has a bloke sitting on him and gets little to no help. Basically every touch he gets is hard earned.

 

[EagleCanival]

He was best on ground

Watching the game from a mutual standpoint, there was not a chance the Bont was BOG...

Don't lose context here. No one is trying to talk Bont down. Cripps had the same last week with Vince sticking the hard tag on him and coming off BOG. Pointing out Cripps' situation isn't a slight on Bont, it's a response to Clay's silly comment talking down Cripps because he's playing in a s**t side.

 

[King Bont]

24 possessions, 11 score involvements, 10 clearances, a goal.
Who was better than that?

Everyone tries to talk Bont down.

I didn't talk Cripps down, I admitted he played well. Just Bont is doing better

 

[TheHoneyBadger]

He was comfortably best on ground.

And I think you mean "neutral".

Score involvements now there's a useless stat when comparing players.

Oh rubbish. He's very well talked up in this thread.

And yes you did talk Cripps down. You posted Bont's stats from this weekend, I posted Cripps and the first thing you did was talk his game down for playing in a side that was whooped.

Your reality is pretty warped I gotta say.

Twist it however you want. He played very well but Bont played better and had a big impact on his side's win.

Why is Cripps down played due to the team he was drafted to? Very odd way to compare nearly as bad as score involvements.

 

[King Bont]

Score involvements now there's a useless stat when comparing players.

So I'm guessing you don't consider playing ratings a useful stat either?
You more of a kicks and handballs kind of guy?
Jack Steven and Rockliffe must be top
5 players in the Competition then...
