Injuries only happen when Aaron Joseph (RIP) or Brock Mclean are made the sub.

Mick the master-coach could always use his 197cm frame in the forward pocket for 3 qtrs.

 

[HBF]

Sub?


I know that if someone gets injured early that could be a problem,but... would it be worth the risk?

Probably not.
Maybe Army or Buckley for the sub.

Harker said something about Armfield being injured.

Plus if he isn't, given he was a late in for Daisy for NAB1 and not even named for NAB2, I don't think he is a guaranteed 22 in Mick's eyes anymore.

Cripps isn't an athletic freak and fast, but at 193 cms and with a footy brain, he's closer to being the next Kouta and clearance beast than Bell. Has the size and smarts to be a mid who can fend off players and stand up in tackles to distribute the ball.

Development could see Cripps rest forward and use his smarts up the field. Will end up a bigger unit than the likes of Josh P.Kennedy, Jobe Watson and Mclean who can find space and kick goals. Can see the upside if he learns to play tall by using his body one out.

 

[HARKER]

That's the thing with Cripps.

He's strong, throws his backside out and clears his hands from getting tied up.
From what I've seen he's also a one touch player with good awareness and a footy brain................What's not to like?

 

[Silvagnis]

Too slow and heavy on his feet for Shaun "Bit of Chris Judd about him" Atley...

Walker like pick up at his ankles.

What's Cripps marking skills like??

Good see him play well today

Cripps' final stats (brace yourselves): 34 disp. (17 contested), 10 handball receives, 8 inside 50s, 6 clearances, 5 tackles, 1 goal. #PJVFL

Play him again in the VFL next week... if he dominates again... slam his arse into the seniors...

 

[AB_Blue]

Slam it now, we have the dees next week. Same standard as VFL

We've got his sidekick from WA Jared Jansen, he's about the same size, real big for a mid.

I doubt he'd be the same size.

Cripps is listed at 192 but towers over McInnes at 191.

Stood next to Giles (195cm) and if I had to put my money on who was taller I'd lean towards Cripps.

Cripppaaaa!

What surprised me most was his ability to spread & get the uncontested possession. Great balance between uncontested & contested.

Cripps is taller than Fyfe (who, as we know, is 8ft tall).

Jared is 192-193 and well into the 90 kegs a good runner and strong mark, averaged about the same disposals as Cripps in WA colts.
I think we got him pick 33, all the fanfare was with Cripps but I'm pleased we got Jared at that pick.
Like Cripps our guy has grown since the draft measurements were done.

Sounds like a poor mans James Sellar.

That may not be possible if he's pulled a hamstring.

Limped off supported by two trainers and straight to the rooms. May have been severe cramps but it didn't look good.

Worst part was that it happened in the final 30 seconds of the game.

Everyone grows when they join an afl team as a result of being measured in footy boots
