Round 4 NAB Rising Star Nominee

Remove this Banner Ad

Finding it hard to resist quoting some of the jokers on the first page who claimed Cripps was no chance at this week's nomination

There were two types of posters. Those who said he was well in contention and actually watched the game, and the "Lol it was only the saints" crowd who clearly didn't.

Agree with Carey that he should have an Anzac medal, was clearly BOG. Take nothing away from Murphy's game but I'm still perplexed how Cripps didn't get it.

No idea how he didn't get it either!? But then again Murphy did win 6 frees so he was under the umpire's noses quite a bit!

Cripps, in his second season, had 33 disposals, of which 23 were contested. The latter equalled a record by a player aged under-21 at the time of a match, joining Sam Mitchell, Tom Liberatore and Judd.

Glad to see Carlton fans up and about, there's not much to get excited about. Cripps looks like a good player and should have a good career.
 
Carlton would trade 10 Jason Cripps for 1 Jesse Hogan.

This weekly rising star award is so meaningless

The weekly nomination is for best performance of the week. The yearly award is for best performer across the season. Neither is meant to be a predictor of future success.

Not really. Each player nominated so far played an exceptional game in the week that they received their nomination.

Hogan has been good (and provided more than a few glimpses of what he's going to be) without having a real breakout performance yet. Either he'll have one soon (likely, on form) or he'll be rewarded for consistency, which usually happens a bit later on.

It's not a poor reflection on Hogan or the weekly nomination process that he hasn't received one yet, they have to reward the guys that tore it up.
 
Cripps gets 33 touches, 23 contested. Lays 11 tackles, bags 9 clearances and kicks a goal. 174 odd SC score. Turned 20 a month ago. 6th game.

Christ we mark hard around these parts sometimes.

I'd be extremely happy if Gibbs, Judd or Murphy got those stats. For a sixth gamer in Cripps to get those stats is incredible.

Fairly sure J2Y posted the stats that only 3 players (Judd, Mitchell, Liberatore) have gotten 23 CP's in a game before the age of 21.
