Its always annoyed me how little our players stand up for one another. Nothing silly needed, just a just a nudge and a glare to let the opposition know they shouldn't try that again.

Equally, I love the fact that Dylbucks never backs down despite being 1/8th the size of a fully grown human...

Geez this talk is getting me excited, can't get off the toilet seat at work... They're probably waiting for me but I need to talk about Crippa a little more, can you imagine against collingwood pendles knocks over one of our youngsters and Crippa notices? Next contest Crippa tackles Pendles and slams him into the following month, and then gets 3 weeks... But it'll be worth it!!!
 
Has anyone seen Crippa in that new AFL ad.

A take on the Monty Burns amassing a lineup of superstars, but all the players "Hodge" etc are kids or old people etc, with the theme being, theres an AFL for everyone to play. At the end the little girl turns and goes "and Cripps" and Crippa is standing there before a kid runs past him saying im Cripps.

Our boys' the star
 
Shameless bump.
I just wanted to leave this here. I'm sure we don't need to be reminded how good this guy is, but golly gosh (feel weird swearing in a Cripps thread) those are some good numbers against a strong midfield for only 53% game time.

I know it's the Cripps thread, but what jumped out at me was Matthew Wright's 11 contested possessions. That was just a lazy half on the park for Cripps. :cool:
 
Boekhurst had a ripper game - a real breakout game - Kerridge /Wright also did well.

but look at disposal efficiency of Thomas- now down to clanger factor of a White...:eek:

will be fun watching the side improve on these micro stats over the year as players get more defined roles and learn to play more as a team.

Plus Everitt's 5 clangers from 7 disposals
 
Cripps is big time. We all know that.
But the addition of Kerridge is really going to complement him.
Those two are going to have some serious clearance numbers this year.
The fact our midfield took it right up to Sydney's is a hell of a good start.
It's was Cripps Kerridge Boeky Curnow and Graham, doing the damage.

Add Murphy and Gibbs contributing and it's very promising.

And on a positive note, when Cripps sat for most of the second half, they didn't really faulter.

Yep. I'd say our midfield took the points.
Hanneberry got off the chain a little.
But 47 -37 in the clearances.
33- 25 at the stoppage.
With no Crippa in the second half and no Murphy for the match.
That's a fair effort against one of the best clearance midfields in the AFL.
Massive positive for Bolton really.
Curnow did really well keeping Kennedy in check too.

Winning contested ball and clearances has never been our problem. We were one of the leader last year weren't we?

It's the outside run and damaging the inside 50 that has been our poor point.

And to be fair, that looks better already also. How good was Cripps goal? Never looked like missing, if he can kick 25 goals this year it will go a long way in us getting a few W's.

The beauty of bringing in Kedge is that although he lacks the polish of Crippa, he's another decent sized unit who can feed it out to Murph/Gibbs, hopefully allowing them to focus on doing damage on the outside and (fingers crossed) extending their careers a tad.

Kerrige, Cripps and Graham will be a powerful inside contested force, allowing Murphy and Gibbs to move to the outside, we should look a lot better if we play those three on the ball.

Murphy & Gibbs have to do their dues on the inside also, allowing Boekhorst and Cuningham to be the outside players.

As long as we rotate the mids and don't drive any single player into the ground (Cripps) we should come out O.K.

Those handballs under immense pressure on the weekend stood out like dogs balls.

His ability to free his arms with two or more blokes hanging off him and reliably hit a target anywhere within 360 degrees.

He's better at it than Judd already, and thats saying something.

Yep. He's dominating in the areas that most blokes take years to learn, even the stars. It's unbelievably impressive.
