Problem with Crippa atm … and this is a VERY minor point … when he rests forward I think he forgets how bloody big and strong he is ….

Needs to grab that s**t with both hands whether that be in the stoppages (no issue there) or resting forward …. 10 pin bowl the mofo mid that is assigned to him or some lanky HB flanker …

Make em hurt Crippa you are a bloody beast.

Ok noticed him proppy on hjs left leg in the warm up. Really showed during the game. I hope it hasn't become degenerative but it has been strapped for some time so alarm bells are ringing.

I think he'll be right for the next game, to be honest.

More worried about a degenerating disc injury from carrying us for so long

I think he was much better than last year imo. Sure the stats don’t show that but a big step
He also was a better kick at goal ignoring stats but maybe I’m just bias.

He will kick 20-25 next year, just wait and see.

A fit Shiel wouldn’t go astray either

He would but I see him as more a running player. Setterfield would be awesome as would a Wallis Dahlhaus or Miles who would be cheap. Brodie was starting to show himself as a big bodied inside player.

Walsh & Dow will be stars.

Whoever we need to get him some help with the contested ball.

Can’t see Dahlhaus leaving for anyone but Geelong. Has strong ties to the area

I see Wallis as gettable but I question if he really wants to leave...unless he gets pushed ?

Can’t see Broadie requesting a trade unfortunately

Walsh will great but like Dow won’t give us an immediate impact which is what the club needs.

Don’t think Settlerfield gives us immediate impact either........Shiel does tho.

Reality is if we can manage to land any of the above mentioned players it will be a decent off season and one we can build on......with hopefully a full bloody list available

ATM, we barely get to rest him forward, such is our need around the ball. Watch how much his play as a forward will flourish when our midfield is better and is capable of winning the ball without his presence; 50/50 midfielder forward, getting 30 touches and 4-6 goals a game. That's best player ever category right there.

So The Age have stuffed up again? He is not in the squad they list on P37 of today's paper - leaving me thinking WTF

It's the only way they could keep him out. 2nd in the Coaches votes for MVP, what excuse can they make up to leave him out? Bottom team only 2 wins?

He has the best handpass skills that I have ever seen.

Didn't make the leader board in their player of the year even though the voting system favours a player in a poor side more than the 3-2-1 in the HS.
