Certified Legendary Thread Patrick Cripps and Ah Chee

[Corn Cobbers]

What?

Chief never said himself that he wasn't going for the ball, he was throwing your comment back at you, you got your wires crossed

 

[Kanye West]

Appealing the decision so this thread can keep ticking over nicely!

Of the four stiputions to appeal, the only one that they could have any credibility to, is

Sanction imposed manifestly excessive or inadequate.

So i say, good on them for being honest with themselves!

Chief did say he was trying to mark it on his chest, however...

 

[Lets Roar like '44]

Of course he touched the ball. Watch the video.

What's your awesome gotcha here?

What are you like 16? Grow up.

Let’s say for argument sake he touched the ball. Is that the defence to get him off?

 

[smit_is]

Don't need to. You are looking at it. Cripps.

Just stop and open both eyes mate.

Google search come up dry? Assuming you got sick of searching so came up with that zinger.

Anyway, if you had read my other comments, you may have gained some context on what I was banging on about.

Cheers

It is difficult to have a coherent conversation with you.

You brought up the "did he touch the ball".

What was your point?

No he didn’t surely!!

 

[Chief]

No he didn’t surely!!

You know what the word "trying" means, don't you?

Why do you never answer questions? It’s just a footy game why are you so reluctant to answer questions when everyone else in the forum does?

 

[Lets Roar like '44]

Yes. That was the issue. Sorry I didn’t bold that bit for you.

No he didn’t surely!!

This is not a ******* question ^^^^

 

[Fadge]

You'd forgive the reference to 'marking' the ball, but to try to defend him by saying he was intending to take the ball on his chest is just ludicrous.

 

[tiger_tough]

Does it really matter that he was targeting the ball or if it was a 50/50 contest? If you bump someone in the head and they get concussed you get suspended.

Save your pennies Carlton.

This is a good point. Do Carlton risk having the penalty increased by appealing?

 

[Thrawn]

Cripps aint a thug. We look like scared nuffies implying it.

It's especially funny when it comes from folks like HirdyLannister, who claims a moral high horse when they had their captain doping and encouraging young adults to stick unknown substances into their bodies.

Save your pennies Carlton.

It's doing more harm than good, sending a message that they don't think they can win games without Cripps

Is this why they made him play with a broken back last year?

It's not like they're short on inside mids

They sure are this week. Maybe Cerra will have to win a hardball or two

 

[RAPPA]

Good thing the appeal ain’t funded by taxpayer dollars

 

[Gman]

Costly error of judgement

It sucks, it really does, you don't want such an important player at such an important stage to be rubbed out

But I can't see any way out of this, split second costly act

The concussion is the clincher...

 

[Corn Cobbers]

This is a good point. Do Carlton risk having the penalty increased by appealing?

As far as I can tell, no

And the grounds are pretty narrow, it's a tough gig to pull off

 

[Lets Roar like '44]

Dude do you even read people posts?

I asked if touching the ball is your defence to get him off because it seems your go to in defending him which is ludicrous. Ok lets forget this.
Are you up for hypotheticals if it was other players involved?

 

[Chief]

I asked if touching the ball is your defence to get him off

You were the one who made a big deal about "touching the ball".

I didn't bring it up.

Therefore your question is invalid. Not worth answering. Silly.

 

[freddy mercury]

Shattering for Carlton fans, won't be able to see their best player until next year.

 

[Pugnacious1874]

Anyone got footage of players jumping into a contest to take a punched ball "on the chest" in an otherwise open play situation?

What would be the point of that?

I don't own a horse, I was channeling my inner Ricky Stuart.
