Another preseason or two training with Kreuzer and we will have an insane extraction duo on our hands (Think Nat/Priddis but stronger). Kreuzer, Cripps, Bell, Gibbs, Curnow has some real size and inside grunt - Murphy, Yarran, Boek, Thomas and MENZ for the outside run and polish!

Teams on paper don't impress me much. Too easily ripped apart and written off.

  • Patrick Cripps cannot be killed by a bullet! See! Four bullets in my right arm, three in my left leg, one in my right, and two in the back. Another bullet went through my lip. Another through my left foot. Today a bullet went into my head and it's not even come out yet!
 
 
"At 190 cm and 90 kgs, Cripps is a contested ball beast. However his outside game, running capacity and disposal by foot is not close to the standard of his captain Murphy, limiting his ability to be a really damaging midfielder – for now."

190cm... please, that's soooo 2012
 
Strange that this is one of the first times I've noticed this, but tonight (when he was on the park) he seemed to display that "Matrix man" ability. i.e seems to have more time and space than others.

Am I the only one?

Yeah I was letting that part of the article slide a bit, because while they're not completely wrong, as you say Cripps can be extremely damaging by simply bringing/releasing skillful outside players into the game.

I can't speak highly enough of this kid because everytime I see him play, I see another aspect to his game I hadn't noticed before. He tooks some defensive marks tonight also and for someone not known for kicking skills, also had some classy kicks to advantage.

I've no doubt he works his butt off week in, week out on all aspects of his skills.

Cripps had 16 before injury but my god he is class... A few great marks while out of position, and loved the grab out of the ruck and handball, his movement is great also!!

It's amazing to think it was only last year when he got a couple AFL games and he seemed a bit uncoordinated and/or unsure how to use his big body.

Nek minnut, drops some kilos in the pre-season and comes back a machine with skill and class.

Give Boekkie a good run in the seniors to let him get a good understanding of the pace of the game and he will come good. He is a good young footballer with all the skills of Lucas and that level of hardness that Lucas seemed to lose after his long injury issues at the start of his career!

As much as I'd hate to lose him and as much as we'd love every chance of beating Bleakmond, it may be that we shouldn't risk him.
