Blues duo named in 22Under22 squad.

Young guns Sam Docherty and Patrick Cripps have been named in the 2015 AFL Players’ Association 22Under22 squad.

The 22Under22 concept was introduced in 2013 to recognise the best young talent in the competition, as decided by the fans. To be eligible for this year’s team, players must be aged 22 or younger on Grand Final Day this year.

Docherty and Cripps have been picked in the initial 47-man squad selected by the AFL Players’ Association Board.

Crippa should be captain of that squad...

exactly - Cripps probably has 13 years at best in him - imagine if we could trade him for a player who had 14?

 

[AB_Blue]

We won't win a flag for 13 years


Pretty sure

 

[thylacine60]

but 14?

 

[ferrisb]

but 14?

That's when the premiership window will open, the clock will strike 12, the mouse will run down.....

pretty sure.

but 14?

Big big show for 2029

That is the question!

He plods not runs

@Walkytalky1 has urged our youngsters to follow @patrickcripps' lead this off-season: http://cfcblu.es/FollowCripps

One 20 year old is grabbing it by the nuts and leading the way. Bit like Juddy tried to do but was held back by the club's entrenched on-field and off-field attitudes. This time, with a new CEO, coach, new playing list and a new Pres who is well aware of the disdain for the board, it's looking like the club may go with him

This man is personifying our culture shift.

 

[zeeCFC]

Has he been the best player in all of our wins?

 

[BluStreak]

Might be interesting next year if some of the senior players did the same.

Are we going to have any senior players next year?

Are we going to have any senior players next year?

Ellard, White, Armfield, Watson, Jones, Tutt ...

I urge them to follow him in the off-season.
I urge them to follow him during the season.
And I urge thylacine60, Kruzering and ODNBlue to STOP following him. Apparently he is close to calling the cops.

So, what, you want him all to yourself?

 

[Dramoth]

He's gonna win a Brownlow.

Couple of Brownlows and a couple of Norm's...

Could this be a way to help fill our tall forward needs and keep our current Cripps happy? Doesn't sound like it would take a decent pick to get him. Cheap insurance.

Is that article a year old? Crippa wasnt playing colts last year he was at the blues.
If it is old then I assume Jack didnt get drafted. Wonder how he's playing these days

Our current Cripps is happy enough as is, I believe.

I'd be nervous of taking him if he's such a late pick...how's Patty gonna feel if we cut him after two years? If he's the best option at one of our late picks, we may as well, but I think there's just as much risk as there is reward on the "family connection" side of things.
