I hope it's more 4 years with clauses extending to 6! He's moving around like a 30yo right now... so in his final year when he's 33 how's he going to be moving. God I hope we havn't overpaid.

I must say - while as a team we obviously looked terrible last week - it was nice to see Crippa with zero tape on his shoulders or knee. Promising sign. Maybe I’m clutching at straws looking for ANY positives, but it did stand out to me.

Bang great result.. Odd time to announce it though, will miss all the good publicity that will come from it.

I expect him to transition from midfield to the forwardline in the next few years, and with his size and strength he'll be fine up forward well into his 30's.

O Captain! My Captain!



more of dis pls crippa

God I hope he figures out what has happened in the last 2 years and fixes it.
Cripps 2019 for 6 years is a triumph.
Cripps 2020-21 for 6 years will effin' kill me.

Some sad sacks around here. Never be happy no matter what. Live to complain......

well he did once say that forward is just a failed midfielder...

6 years is a sign to me that they're confident his body isn't shot.

Must be carrying something that they believe will get better.

Provided he does what he did in his first year, and gets in touch with someone like Plugger or Dunstall, and gets them to develop his goalkicking to the point where he simply never misses.

The only problem with him becoming a CHF/midfielder is the weakness of his goalkicking. He fixes that, the dropoff in his midfield game becomes almost a benefit due to his spending time up forward.

Please be mindful this is Patrick's player thread.


If you have nothing nice to say, show some respect & DON'T say anything at all!

 

[Cripps Nubake]

Pretty big show in faith that he believes in the group going forward. Can only be a good thing for morale with everything going on at the club at the moment. Awesome news!

 

[Gethelred]

On the other side of it, it means that - above and beyond all else - he truly believes in Carlton. He has some form and injury issues to work through, and I'd be interested to know the $$$ details, but this is a terrific sign.

Hopefully Cripps doesn’t feel the need to push himself anymore now that he has put pen to paper, and hopefully we ease off the work load as finals are all but done.

Aim for a big 2022 and onwards.

6 more years!








Never in doubt!

Credit to you Aph. You NEVER wavered - always came back to that photo with total confidence. Impressive.

Guess he has no faith in the coach lol

Many are completely over playing how poor he has been the past 2 seasons, he is still our most important player. He cops the most opposition attention and we brought in a midfielder to support him on $900k who turned up to pre-seaon overweight and has now had to go back to half back.. Additionally he has had to carry the load as our on field leader during a crisis and now external review.. He is doing okay.

 

[myopic]

Great news but never in doubt really, as the earlier post says.

Has long been suggested he would be a CHF at the end of his career.

Don't worry!
The way the game is headed by the time he's 33 the game will be played on a rectangular soccer pitch sized ground. The players will wear padded gear with crash helmets and will ride around on tricycles.

Give the bloke a few weeks off or put him in for whatever he needs done surgically .... got to be looking to 2022 now

 

[Bluez Rule]

Big statement by the co-Skipper. Says he's either mad, or he's going to see it through. Great stuff, now for others to get behind and get the Blues on the up.
Love it (and the nay sayers can get stuffed!!)

Probably more a show of faith in Sayers & Liddle

Yes a big bag of cash that will get lighter as he spends it, thus making him move better.
