[mario bortallotto]

great work skipper !!!!we as a club would not want to stagnate ...Sos (im a sos fan) work is not done quite yet

 

[Bamboo Harvester]

Best player in the league
Best young player in the league
Multiple players in the 22 under 22

You'd want to be on the blues now....

....and if Sir Charles stayed fit during the year, he would have been a walk up start for the U22 team

You'd definitely want to be on the blues now....

Honestly thought Lachie Neale would have won, this is really such a wonderful surprise, and arguably a more prestigious award than the Brownlow, being voted by his peers.

Gerald Whatley, notorious Carlton hating nerd will be in tears that Dangerfield didn't win it.

Haven't been this happy and excited since Rami Malek won the Oscar for best Male actor playing Freddie Mercury in Bohemian Rhapsody !!!

Onya Cripps, a rare breed of new Carlton Champion of the 21St Century.

You could put Neale 1v1 every day of the week against Crippa and Crippa would flog him like a 14yo.

 

[No1Suspect]

What. A. Man. ❤

 

[ITCHY EYEBALLS]

Good ordinary player.

As Captain Blood would say

 

[Metalcrusher]

Unfortunately this will be reflected via a second place in Brownlow counts. Rigged as it is.

Crippa MVP

Walsh RS

[TerryWallet]

Best Carlton player i've seen since Jim Canfield hit town.

 

[KJP7]

This bloke makes me bloody proud to be a supporter of this great club.

We’ve been through a pretty long dark period but we’re the most successful club in the history of the game for a reason and you can’t keep us down, next year will be pretty exciting with the best skip in the league leading the way

 

[Charlieboyblue]

Well done Crippa!

So happy for the greater Blue Bagga world!

 

[FairKouta]

My man crippa

A penny for Chris Scott’s thoughts - “What, you’re all saying that he had a huge influence on the team? Personally, I thought he got a few cheap possessions against the Lions. Maybe I need to go back and re-watch his season.”

But seriously, great recognition for Crippa at the end of a really challenging campaign. He was so weighed down around the time of the sacking of Bolts, and to regroup and lead the boys upwards and onwards, while still making sure to acknowledge the valuable role payed by Bolts in the long term development of this list, was character and class personified imo. I’ll never forget how Crippa made sure to acknowledge Bolts immediately after the win over the Lions, when amidst the adrenaline rush of a fantastic win, he could have easily been forgiven for forgetting to do so. A great player, a great leader, and a great person, and it’s good to see that those traits are widely appreciated throughout the game.

 

[BlueGum]

Congrats skip. Thoroughly deserved. Now for some silverware.

 

[RedFury]

Who??

 

[T2B_]

Nice little surprise here. Onya Crippa, it's clear the comp has ultra respect for you. As do we.
