Senior 9. Patrick Cripps

"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

190cm as inside mid and 194cm as forward resting mid

190cm as inside mid and 194cm as forward resting mid

True, I guess he is a bit more hunched over in and under the packs

 

[inyourcool]

As much as I'd like the best side in to beat bleakmond, give players a rest when needed. Especially bright young talent.

Changes cost us the win on Saturday and may do so this week

 

[Cringle]

Like him to keep developing his forward game.

AS he'll get tagged more often than not into the future he's going to need to learn how to be a damaging forward.

At 194, TheSheik says he's a couple of cms too short to rest up forward

Good thing is he's already shown signs of forward nous with getting to the ball and marking it. Now just maybe needs some sessions with the Sav for the set shots lol.

So he should be tall enough by round 17?

Anyone else think Cripps' form has dipped alarmingly? Perhaps look to move him on whilst he has value?

Exactly! How much time does this guy need?
Reckon we can snag a late first rounder for him.

 

[TeeJay Blue]

I love his stutter.

 

[RedFury]

I reckon if we play our cards right we can move him on for a high enough pick to net us a player who will be half as good.

Maybe even a quarter as good!
Thoughts?

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

You monsters!!!

 

[thylacine60]

Exactly. The tough calls are what will see us rise up the ladder quickly.

 

[Navy Cream]

Should've traded him 4 years ago when he had currency. Hack do not want. Be lucky to get a 3rd rounder now. Bloody Rogers!!!

We'll probably only get a second round pick for him. We so over-rate our own players.

 

[Cringle]

I agree.

Has been given many more chances than Watson has.

 

[T2B_]

Trade before the inevitable delisting.

 

[ShanDog]

Can't kick and is slower than a Canberra winter.

Delist.

 

[AB_Blue]

Not 196cm yet

delist

Can't help but have a chuckle at the expense of that recruiter (L. Williams..?) if indeed he walked out because we took Cripps at #13.

But we could have had Rising Star Lewis Taylor
