That's not Synbad who is negative for the sake of being negative and keeping the club accountable on everything.

Treats people who disagree with contempt by talking down to them.

Believes Fev was better than Sticks.

Nice agenda...

Meh.

 

[Aphrodite]

Why is there discussion on posters from 'OTHER' forums!

Move on!

 

[thylacine60]

geez.....

And your problem is.

Its related to Cripps as well, so its in the right place!

Could have two rising star nominations in 4 weeks, and be 1-3. Silver lining....?

What does Fev, Sticks & Synbad have to do with Cripps!

Totally irrelevant subby.

Well done to the kid, hippie he has a great debut and I truly hope he gets to pay more than one game before Carlton do our usual trick and drop the kid next week.

4cm taller than Jobe Watson & Josh Kennedy (Syd). They both do alright as tall mids

Im more worried we'll play him on a half back flank

Really pumped about seeing Cripps play today. But definitely has to be tempered with an appropriate level of expectation!

Actually, not sure what would be worse - he has a so-so game this week and is dropped or has an absolute blinder and can't back it up the week after. Either way someone will be ranting no doubt!

To all those fools saying Cripps is not ready, needs another run in the VFL, isn't fit enough.

He, got it more than half the other's in the team including experienced on ballers like Carrazzo.

This TOXIC "he's not ready" attitude has not just poisoned our club but spread to our supporter base.

There does need to be a balance though, not a week earlier he was gassed after 3 quarters of footy.

I'm sure the MC didn't plan on Menz going down in the first. That would have seriously mucked the limited rotations.

Footy's a crazy simple game, people over complicate it, you can either play or you can't and he can.

Thought he did quite well in his first match. The pace of the game was clearly a lot faster than he's used to, but that's something he'll grow into. The effort is there, you can see he has something to work with, the polish will come though.

Just stop bloody growing! Was getting a talking to from Hendo today and was looking him square in the eyes. Geez.

 

[thylacine60]

Hendo was telling him to stop growing too?

Here's hoping! Had that chance with the ball at his feet running towards goal today and was a bit clunky round his ankles. Reckon they should stick a couple of encyclopedias on his head for a few weeks.

If he keeps growing he might end up being that CHF we have been looking for. Ha ha

Our luck he'll grow to a height where he's useless as a mid and then never gain the skillset to be a key position player.

He's already the same height as Dylan Mclaren, no?

Probably taller.

Recruited as a mid, ends up our next ruckman?

 

[The Blue Baggers]

thought he was fantastic in close, great hands

cripps, menzel & buckley ... our drafting has been much better the last couple of years

we are paying for the 5 years before that !

Will be a hell of a player given time. Still can't believe people can judge so harshly on a young player who hasn't even played a handful of games, let alone 50.
