I don't think I have seen a better highlight reel for someone that young.

He goes alright the young fella.

 

[Masqualero]

Yeah but can he play mid?

Surely we can turn him into one. We've done so well in doing so in the past.

Can play.

Keep!

After watching that. Who needs diesel... Cripps can teach everyone else how to handball himself

 

[Coops93]

Looking at Cripps' kicking he seems to have a high ball drop. Watching a highlights video he seems to drop it from almost waist high, could be why he is having issues hitting targets. Hopefully it's a simple fix.

30 disposals @ 80% (20 contested), 11 marks (4 contested, 3 inside 50), 26 pressure acts (2nd to Murphy's 28), 8 clearances, 5 tackles, 6 inside 50s and 2 goals.

Most pleasing aspect? His dominance in the air.

Scary that he's only going to grow as a player. He's made it a focus to be more dangerous around the sticks and be more of an aerial presence as well. Which you can see him already taking steps to doing.

 

[TBellicious]

So good to see him finally hit his straps after no pre season. Clearly his best game of the year. Fitness is now built, skills feeling good, set shots seemingly sorted.

Sky is the limit for the rest of the year. Will explode.

 

[Bluez Rule]

look out when he's fit, has had a few pre seasons, 'grows into a man's physique', and learns more about the game...... only played 50 ffs and can rip a game when he wants to..

 

[Bluez Rule]

Great get, big body with skill who can run, the sort you want to build a midfield around.

with a little hindsight this looks like a pretty insightful post - well done!
don't suppose you know the Powerball numbers for this THursday?

 

[Bluez Rule]

some good hints as to what was/is in store for Blues from the 'old days'

 

[Bluez Rule]

He looks 15

still does, well maybe 17

Love Crippa.

He's bubbly and cute off the field but a ****ing cold blooded savage on it.

 

[Jeremias]

Brain fade aside, that was the best I've seen Cripps play forward of centre.

We've said it for a little while now, but if he can push forward and be a threat in front of goals, he elevates his game to a whole new level.

Love Crippa.

And has a trait I absolutely love - he gets pissed onfield, he lifts himself into the stratosphere.

Opposition, rev this man up at your peril.

If only! Doubt I'd be sitting at my computer if I did!

 

[Casual_Observer]

Great to see him back. What a beast.

If Cripps doesnt get 3 votes it's only because he missed that easy goal shot by a mile.

 

[Lace_Out]

Surely even the umps could see he missed it due to being absolutely exhausted after dominating everyone.

Honestly I was amazed he even got to having that shot or some of the other touches he had late, including a surprisingly beautiful long pass to CHF, because that lad looked absolutely tanked by that point. I think he was running on nothing but willpower pretty much.

Interesting Cripps last night said he had grown 5cm since getting to the club.
Considering he was 192-193 when drafted that makes him 197-198.
Could be true considering how he dwarfed Curnow in the interview after the game last week.
