I'd say we don' need him. I'd rather go for a goalkicker. Having said that, he probably is good enough no team would say no, when they get the opportunity to get him (and can effort him)...
Rumour Patrick Cripps will go home to WA if Carlton miss the finals in 2021

It's dangerous to try and judge what any player will do in the situation, and particularly a players from the Club you support.
But I'd suggest that the only way Bont or Cripps are going anywhere is if their Club does something really horrendous, to them personally. Both have an air of total investment about them.

What do you think Carlton should pay to keep him?
I will say Cripps looks much more invested in Carlton than Judd ever did at the Eagles.
Different personalities for sure, Cripps looks much more relaxed and professional with the media. Judd was never a fan of the media spotlight. Lead on the field with actions more so than words after games.

Geez. With just the smallest amount of thought most people could have some valid ideas on that matter.
Not all, it seems.
Interesting conclusion, what did Judd ever do that suggested he wasnt invested in the Eagles?

Nah. How long is a piece of string?
Judd was invested to a degree, but he came across as a reluctant captain and he left. I just see Cripps as being more invested in Carlton looking at how he communicates off field.
He was a reluctant captain thats true, but he did the job in troubled times & played injuried as would any caotain of a defending Premier. No criticism here.
Im not criticising Judd btw, just comparing him to Cripps from a media perspective. Some captains are more relaxed, enjoy it more and do more. Cripps has been both proactive and from what I can tell, genuine in his role as captain in the media.
In defense of Judd he was knudged into the hot seat, won a flag and then the wheel's fell off in a big way.
Not a fan of selling the farm for an aging mid.
Agreed. More than happy to take 3 good picks into the draft and retain our 2022 1st.
We cant trade our 2021 1st anyway.
Id would rather target Trent Rivers from Melbourne in a trade. And use 2 - 3 picks. Rivers looks like the next Yeo.

Still painfully obsessed I see.
Is that you Suma?
Why Eagles ‘MUST’ win ‘21 flag
Peter Sumich has heaped pressure on the Eagles to win the 2021 premiership for one reason.

The obsession continues.........
Cripps has a fair few km on the clock compared to Kellly. Cripps is already pretty banged up with both knee and shoulders requiring surgeries. Cripps strapped knee looks like jelly.
But carry on with your agenda.
My prediction is that cripps will sign on with Carlton and become a blue for life. What reason is there for him to leave? He gets to Captain a big club with enough off field connections that he is set for life. He will also be one of their highest earners over his career. In terms of finals, Carlton's rebuild will click sooner rather than later, it would be silly to leave just as things are coming good.
Freo could easily get this done.
First round pick plus Luke Ryan gets it done easily .
Cant help thinking P Cripps is a touch over rated..

He is overrated considering how easily tagged out of the game he is (D Clarke in his 1st game mauled him). He has no forward versatility like the stars do (Bont, Danger, Dusty, Fyfe) and Carlton have made him carry that midfield from such a young age and because of that, his body is cooked.

Freo should just keep Ryan.

No forward versatility... Granted his set shot kicking needs work (just like Danger and Bont) but his marking up forward is quite good
