Opinion Is this where Carlton drops away?

[PieLebo87]

Don’t think you’ll find too many Carlton supporters arguing the tribunal decision, but it’s bloody poor timing for a 2 week suspension. Definitely careless of Cripps - still can’t figure out why he needed to jump up off the ground to collect the footy.

I know of another incident where a few playere were considered worthy of 12 months off.

Didn't stop a decade of whinging.

Even after penance served people are still whinging.

Meh - there's no way he was thinking he was going to knock anyone out.

Do you think he went into the contest with intent to hurt Ah Chee? Not necessarily knock him out, but hurt him.

He also couldn't have been thinking he was going to mark or spoil the ball either.

I disagree. That's what a mistake is. Get it?

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

What a load of rubbish.

Ok then. My own tosh detector is now on alert.

As a compromise would you accept Cripps' action as a pale Carmen moment?

 

[Do the Dew]

You know it wasn't graded as intentional?

Tom Stewart's KO bump on Prestia also wasn't graded as intentional...

 

[mightymouse75]

Cripps goes full sniper in Dockers games..
Taking out the younger players for a bit of target practice ..
Suck it up Cripps..crime and time and all that

Zac Fisher v Christian Petracca
Paddy Dow v Clayton Oliver
Adam Cerra v Jack Viney
Sam Walsh v Angus Brayshaw

Whoa, thats brutal.

Dees might win this by 100

Ha ha
If Cripps played for Richmond he would have gotten off

But then he’d never have an All Australian.

Lynch would have got away with it too.
Off topic a bit, but it appears the AFL are desperately trying to manufacture a fairytale premiership for the Tigers again this year like in 2017.

In 2012 had GC and GWS who combined for 5 wins, in 2022 WC and NM could go worse.

Yet Collingwood, who sit 2nd on the ladder, lost to WCE and fell over the line vs. NM - yep, 'crap' teams, not just an even year..

It was the same as their own footy manager at the time.

So, you were wrong? Just say it. Grown adults refusing to admit they're wrong is a gross trait. I'm sure Dan Richardson could admit he was wrong.

The 2013-15 Richmond ship was able to win 15 games, Carlton fan comparison...not mine.

Carlton arent at the same stage, they are still like Richmond 2012...yet to qualify let alone earn a home final after 15 wins.

Probably. But once again, how is it the same 'ship' this year? There was a review, a huge sweep of the club and we've improved; whether we fall into 8th or not. It's not the "same ship" as previous years.

Richmond were a consistent finals team, who had a bad year, reset the off field structure and bounced straight back up to finals.

This wasn't your opinion or your prediction at the time, so why are you so confident in making similar predictions about Carlton? I'd be wary in doing that considering how wrong you were in the past.

Kane Cornes has gone whack over Adam Cerra

I'm happy to give a mulligan in his first year but offering up a first round pick, you would hope to be getting more than a good honest AFL role player, or so im told anyway

Agreed. Has been really underwhelming, has played 2 good games for us - Rd1 vs. Richmond and vs. WCE a few weeks back.

Where's he been playing? Was >50% wing with stints in the middle for us which suited him well I thought.

Definitely our best ball user going inside 50 last year.

Mostly midfield, but without a clear role it seems.

Cripps + Kennedy are our inside mids
Hewett is our defensive mid
Walsh is our outside mid
Cerra is ????????

His ball use has been awful.

This is the part that has me totally flummoxed.

Premiership hangover. At least you know he plays well in Grand Finals!

His disposal by foot has been pretty average, even worse when going inside 50 - i sometimes think its paddy dow kicking into the f50

His haircut has been terrible too. Needs to sort that out over summer and I recon he’ll have a much better year.

 

[PieLebo87]

He was clearly wanting to make body contact and make him earn the possession but obviously didn’t intend to concuss him. Thus the careless charge instead of intentional.

 

[evo]

Never thought "playing the game" was an unnecessary act.

It was a bad choice in a split second that had a more severe outcome than usual.

Not a worry. Cop the whack and move on.

Like the Cotchin one, unfortunately there will be no 'moving on'. Clowns around here will still be mentioning it years from now.

Well, when a Tigers supporter rolls in blathering about this and that it's an easy one to hold up, isn't it? Best to just ignore it.

Just had a look at the odds, how are we $3.50 with a line of 20.5

Yeah agree. This is weird, always thought he was a better user than he's shown this year.

We do strange things to people I guess
