Would love nothing more than for him to lift 17 for us

I would love anyone lifting 17 for us.

First time poster, long time reader of the forum, and what better time to join now the captain is signed on for another 6 years.

I've read this forum for years and at times it has served as a form of therapy for the on field disappointments, so I don't want my first post to come across as judgmental as I know everyone on here are long suffering, loyal fans who want nothing more than to see the club be successful, but surely this a positive day for the club.

As we shouldn't we don't know much about the contract terms other than the length which can only be positive in the context of us supporters wanting players to show loyalty to the cause.

Living in Perth I've had to listen all year long to uninformed, boorish drivel from mainly West Coast Eagles fans about how "Cripps will return to WA to play for a successful club blah blah blah", so at the very least this will put an end to that, and at best its Cripps making a definitive statement that he sees better times ahead at the club.

Obviously they need to start winning more consistently, and hopefully the review will go some way to addressing some of our deficiencies, but in the interim hopefully this will give the club a lift that it so desperately needs at the moment.

I'll give my views on other issues on the appropriate threads over the course.

Cheers to you all!

Welcome, look forward to your contributions

“I love this club, I love the people and I love the privilege of pulling on that Navy Blue jumper each and every week.

This place has become home – my decision was that simple,” Cripps said

Cripps a 'Bagger for life

I do hope that body of his has 6 years of football left in it.

[Hands On]

Great news for the club and its supporters. Continuing the trend of every required player re-signing with the club since the re-build began.

Its an amazing trend considering our on field performances

 

[calman]

love cripps, but 6 years is too long, should have been 4, 95% of players start to decline at 30
should have been 4 year deal, club can then negotiate depending on how his body is coping

Wonderful news!

Not concerned with the length of Crippa's contract, as it would be heavily front ended and or the last 2 years being much lower.

Great sign of commitment, moreso to the talent on the list

 

[BlueZombie]

Great news.
No disrespect intended to Docherty, but Cripps should be the sole captain of this football team.

Agree 100%. Now if only the club gets the message...

 

[BlueBayou]

Fantastic news. Best thing I've read about the Baggers for a while.
Crippa, H, Walshy and Weiters as the core of a team, with Chas coming in soon too.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Good.

Salary Cap will be up another 10% by 2027, so everyone wins.

6 years.....long time but.

 

[Just Kreuzing]

Not concerned about length or cost, we will free up plenty of money over course of the next 2 years when you consider the circumstances around players like the following.

McGovern, Marchbank, Ed Curnow, Jones, Casboult, Murphy, Newman, Martin and even Charlie Curnow.

These players will be gone or taking less on their next contracts.

 

[BlueZombie]

Finally! If ever we needed vindication of our list then this is it - the RS was never in doubt!

I could live with Cain Ackland lifting 17 for us.

 

[Mondyboy]

Very happy about this.

Would feel sick seeing him run around in another club’s jumper.

Yeah his form bas been ropey but I genuinely think that with this out of the way he will only get better.

I make a point of not betting on Carlton games, but i would expect the boys too lift huge with this news.. and Crippa to have a masssssssive game.

 

[Loose at HB]

6 years seems like a lot for a bloke who has dropped off considerably in the last 18 months…

Good for the club and a great show of faith from one of our skippers but not without it’s risks. Hope Crippa turns it around and gets back to his MVP form

 

[skadoosh]

barass70, under-promise, over-perform

 

[Iamcarlton]

Fantastic news really dont care about the terms other than he is staying on .

 

[bluesmell]

love cripps, but 6 years is too long, should have been 4, 95% of players start to decline at 30

Safe to say, Crippa ain't 95% of players...

Damn good point

Took a 150K pay cut to stay loyal [emoji41]
