Patrick Cripps - We all knew this was going to happen.

'He's fine': Carlton dismisses 'fractured back' report on star mid

Carlton coach David Teague says he's unaware Patrick Cripps needs injection to get through games

www.afl.com.au

In the Most Unsurprising News since Donald Trump suggested he'd consider breaking election promises, to the surprise of absolutely noone Patrick Cripps has a broken back from carrying 21 shithouse teammates for the past three years.

This reminds me quite a bit of Norf's situation with Rhys Shaw - an up & coming young talent ridden into the ground by excessive responsibility & lack of support.

Shouldn't it be time clubs became accountable for ruining careers like this? Obviously that would render ever Essendon* player over the past 16 years suitable to join a class action, but I'm not seeing a downside there. Similarly Willie Rioli could claim he was merely a victim of a notorious drug kulcha and we'd all believe him.

Meanwhile Carlton prepares to yolk a broke-down drysdale back to the wagon with no regard for its health. Anyone who's read Animal Farm knows how it ends.

its not the first time a Coach has claimed to be "unaware of injections"*

Remember the scenes when they sent Voldemort back out 3 times with a busted face only to lose to the Saints by 9 points?

Disturbing stuff.



Judd was a premiership champion in WA. Carlton just shat on that & made him a caricature of himself.

Knows his brown paper cardboard tho.

"yolk a broke-down drysdale"

 

[Mofra]

Cripps is a big-bodied mid with a spinal concern.
A broke-back mountain, if you will.

Similarly, Tom Mitchell has had to carry a collection of shittruck teammates for several years and the only surprising thing is his leg broke rather than his back.

His ability to move the ball forward seems a bit munted too

Yeah, which is pretty surprising given that he is one of the five or six most uncontested players with enough stats to be relevant so far in 2021. You'd expect a soft outside player to be able to move it more than 7 metres forward on average when they receive it in plenty of space.

He only carried them for very very short distances at a time though.

He has great ability at moving the ball forward to the auskick goals at the side of each ground

 

[Lethality]

He's the Boxer of the Carlton Football Club.

They're riding him into the ground for no reason, not like they're making the Top 4 or anything, plus leaving him out to recover could help a youf break out into some decent form.

21?

There is 40 on the list.

You're talking to a small proportion of the BF population with that one.

During a short and ill advised time on the Carlton board I commented that it appeared that some animals were more equal than others when it came to enforcing board rules. And immediately copped a five pointer for calling my fellow posters animals...

Are you labeling the mods pigs?

I haven't been around for a while, but certainly back in the day there were no shortage of Napoleon complexes on the Blues board.

Anyone trying to carry the weight of an entire footy club would end up the same as Cripps.

He reminds me of one of these poor fellas

I was thinking more of one of these Sherpa dudes in Nepal carrying some rich bastard's gear up Mount Everest:

He’ll probably leave for west cost just to square the Ledger!
Boom tish

Well it'd just be cruel if he left to join Freo.

Do you mean the Carlton BigFooty board or the Carlton Board of Directors?

I hope Carlton have a back up plan. You need another midfielder who will be just as in-tents.

That would be disrespectful. And I would not be surprised if one of them is still stalking me in hope of handing out a perma.
