He said so right after Cornes suggested it. He's still at the club and didn't ask to be traded post season. End of story as far as I'm concerned. If some of you blokes want to take conjecture and speculation as fact because it's something you want to hear and believe, knock yourselves out.
Thanks for your advice. Bye.

If he wants to leave, the Carlton Fan base will be the last ones to know. He's not gonna come out mid season and say "oh yeah Kane's right I'm keen to head home" when he's still contracted.

He was asked about it only a few months after he re-signed his contract though. Nothing has changed in his life that would make him want to move to a neutral city other than speculation by media hacks and WCE/Freo supporters.

Melbourne is as much Cripps' "home" as what Perth is, having spent his entire adult life here so far. Also he has a long term GF who is a Melbourne girl, who may not be keen to live on the other side of the continent. Essentially both would be separated from their families and fiends and be isolated in Perth. His parents aren't too fussed whether they catch 2 flights or 3 from Northampton to see their son, who has spent most of his life in boarding school anyway, so home sickness is not an issue for him as he's stated on numerous occasions.

Feel free to keep speculating though.

Mate I have told you what I know and that is Freo has spoken to Cripps about a return, from what I know Cripps has indicated (at least through his manager) an interest in returning.

You are adamant that Cripps is going nowhere and at the end of the day that might be the case, so what are you still doing here?

I'm still here because I keep receiving notifications when other people have quoted my posts. It would be rude not to reply.

See ya, TW. It's been nice chatting with you.

Interesting that the speculation around Fyfe has died off, yet Martin and Kelly dominate headlines.
Probably because Fyfe has specifically said he sees his future here and will sign when the time is right. As far as I know, those other two have just delayed contracts to "focus on footy".

I'll post wherever I like. There are no rules against posting on opposition forums, unless specified on particular threads.

Watch your dirty mouth champ. Consider yourself reported.
There is a rule about posting with respect though. It's been fun mate.

What's everyone's thoughts on Tippett to freo? If swans play half his salary, think he could be a great in. Was great before buddy went to Sydney. Could take the pressure off McCarthy & kerstin too.

30 is a bit old for our demographic. Our next team to challenge for a flag will have S Hill as our oldest and he's 27 at the moment

God no! Just let the bloke make his way peacefully to the NEAFL where he'll retire in 2 years.

Did not want him even when he was looking to get out of Adelaide. He is not the guy we need.

Bondy, if you're reading this, Swiggy and I are at the pub and he's just taking the piss to see if you'll fall for it come trade time.

At 30 it is a no, at 27 it would a yes. Didn't realise he was that old.

just a thought. I think that's the kind of player we need. have a couple of young ones but give them time in the WAFL. mind you id love for peel to play strnadica at full forward
It is not a bad thought, his age surprised me.

We have Fyfe, Walters, Neale, McCarthy, Hill x2 all roughly 24-27, we need to target more players in this age group or younger.

We should not bring in anyone older than 27.

Nope. Not worth it whatsoever. Haven't proven to be anything better then Vickery, just overpaid and overrated.
