Yeah it is I just read the page before and deleted my question.

Despite the amazing season Crippa has had, there are still some dipsticks in the media who don't believe he is worthy of AA selection.

Lllloooooyyyyddddyyy doesn't rate him I hear!

Yeah On the Couch, two of the four had Martin in and Cripps out. No idea.

Who are the two?

 

[Blue Bloods]

Who are the two?

Iirc it was Brown and Nick Riewoldt who had Martin and Lyon, Healy and maybe Roos had Cripps in.

 

[PrinceCharles]

Anyone reckon we should've gone with Cameron Mcarthy. Not gonna lie, I haven't seen any of Cripps but I have seen Mcarthy who I think will be very good.

I do trust our recruiting department though, AFL ready body, and it's about time we get a few first rounders right!! Welcome to Carlton Patty

It's weird how things work out sometimes.

You would assume these two would notice Cripps more than most people because they also didn't mind carrying their teams on a consistent basis, often at expense to their bodies. I guess you can't cover up dumb so easily.

If he could just kick those set shot goals more often he'd be a lock in for a Brownlow. Not looking at stats, I think he's improved this year, but still misses too many easy shots.

 

[Zuribagger]

Broke the record for contested possessions in a home and away season, set by Dangerfield last year. What a champion!

Well done Crippa - now officially a legend. It was awesome to watch!!

 

[Juddrockz]

What can't this guy do?
An absolute superstar of the game and we are blessed to have Crippa wearing the navy blue jumper!
It's hard going to games to watch the Blues these days but watching the effort this guy puts in each and every week makes the dark times much brighter.
We all should be thanking Crippa,he's in for the long haul.
I'm a believer!
Go Blues!

18 ****ing clearances.....

Take a bow Crippa, what a year you've had.

 

[Arr0w]

He will smash many more records

Most clearances and contested possession in 50 games

Now the most contested possessions in a year

Only played 81 games

 

[Lace_Out]

Farking Machine!

Pretty sure he broke the afl records for ‘first touch’ in 2016 too.

Needed a KPF at the time as we were stacked for mids. I thought we were crazy to overlook McCarthy.

Very happy we got Crippa. He will take us back to where we should be.

 

[SurreyBlue]

I really feel for this kid right now. I have never felt so bad for any footballer ever. Strange feeling.

Take a bow #PCRIPPS3VOTES

 

[HBF]

Congrats Crippa. A huge season of footy.

 

[Blue and Blue]

There was chap named Robert Flower. A proud champion that was loyal. Sadly for him the team never rebuilt and he was a shining light through long years of abject failure.
I think Cripps is loyal and proud and that is of more value than any number of contested posessions. The team will catch up to him. He knows this. All power to the young man.

 

[Blue Pulse]

Pffft key position players are much better than dime a dozen mids

It’s a shame you will be able to do both, love your work Patty, lead these boys to the Holy Grail

 

[Metalcrusher]

Problem with Crippa atm … and this is a VERY minor point … when he rests forward I think he forgets how bloody big and strong he is ….

Needs to grab that shit with both hands whether that be in the stoppages (no issue there) or resting forward …. 10 pin bowl the mofo mid that is assigned to him or some lanky HB flanker …

Make em hurt Crippa you are a bloody beast.

 

[Lace_Out]

Ok noticed him proppy on hjs left leg in the warm up. Really showed during the game. I hope it hasn't become degenerative but it has been strapped for some time so alarm bells are ringing.
