Opinion The 'Carlton related stuff that doesn't need it's own thread' thread Part 2

Patrick Cripps set to ignore free agency and recommit to Carlton during off-season

Patrick Cripps is keen to sign a new contract at Carlton, but there’s a sticking point which could have Blues fans nervous. (Jon Ralph, Herald Sun)
Patrick Cripps will happily sign away his free agency rights over summer but only when the AFL has given clarity to clubs on the salary cap for coming seasons. The Carlton captain is set for a summer rehabilitating his surgically repaired shoulder after he played on despite three “instability episodes” where the shoulder partially dislocated. Contracted until the end of 2021, he would officially become a free agent next October if he had not already agreed to a new contract.

Cripps willing to re-sign is good on the one hand but why would you give up your free agency right, the biggest card a footballer has in a salary negotiation, unless you are cooked. The loss of pace this season is concerning...hope it is not permanent

Only on the Carlton board could the prospect of your Captain and best player re-signing be viewed as a portent of doom.

Caro goes with Williams on $700-750k/year similar to money offered by Giants.

Just saw that.
Will be much happier if that’s the correct figure.
She has a fair few enemies around the league, but Caro usually has pretty good mail.
She’s a traditionalist who gets a bee in her bonnet very often, but she has decent sources.

Pay $1mil upfront for year one to scare off the Giants, pay $650k every other year to leave room for others.

And she prefers the term "drug scandal" to "supplement saga" which makes her a winner in my eyes.

When Richmond hit the ground that day I registered it as officially the loudest noise I'd ever heard at a game. And I sat near HBF woofing down souvas for years.

Our roar when Judd kicked his goal in the last was right up there.

Just an amazing game.

Is that the 1996 Night Grand Final? - although that’s too early for Lance Whitnall.

My bad it’s the

1997 Ansett Australia Cup.

We beat Geelong!

Matty Allen looks stoked to be there

Hard to build a base fitness starting at the size he was, looking in great shape in that pic. Great stuff!

Heavy legs don't help.
