Cripps Bontempelli Merrett Kelly - the next big 4?

[Superstar swan]

As soon as someone has a sub par or above average game, that player is immediately either put ahead or below the other 3.

Looks forward to another decade of this

What is cripps contract status, you would think wce and freo would be all up in his s**t

Signed until the end of 2019.

How does irony apply there?

Pretty simple, player has 1 bad game and you put the teams performance (not as poor as the previous fortnight but still poor) down to Cripps having less influence. So you’re making an assumption on 1 game and a poorly measured outcome rather than a players body of work.

Don’t you think, you’re getting a little carried away in using a very small sample size to prove your point/ pump up Bontempelli’s tyres.

I would take Bontempelli’s career to date over any player in this thread, and a lot of players rated above him, even on an off night he is still the guy that can open a match up with 2 or 3 touches. But as supporters we get attached to our players, so I wouldn’t trade Cripps for him.

That’s enough from me in this windy day pissing contest, hope your mob do a number on the Dee’s today!

Cripps and Fyfe together would be scary.

 

[Superstar swan]

Signed until the end of 2019.

Id get cracking on that if i were carlton. Freo will likely lose sandi, ballentyne, johnson and pearce in that time frame and will be throwing cash around.

Cripps
Fyfe
B hill
S hill
Neale

Would be a juggernaut midfield, also cripps life wont be getting any easier if murphy takes off

 

[Superstar swan]

Cripps and Fyfe together would be scary.

Would be very appealing for all parties involved, cripps and fyfe are both taking a battering and you would think that they would both be welcome to having someone else sharing the physical load and could possible extend each others careers

Cripps and Fyfe together would be scary.

One at CHF, one in the middle. It's the only chance either one has of making finals

Fyfe would play alot more up forward aswell, his kicking is shaky but i still wouldnt want to be a defender trying to contain him up there. Too big, too strong and too good of a mark

 

[SherbertLemon]

Be over the moon with every single player at Essendon. Great players.

Oliver today was hardly Melbourne's best but still racked up 38 touches (19 contested) at 90% efficiency, six clearances and three tackles.

Still just 20 years old and I think he's just scratching the surface of his ability.

He was great, but it's not as hard to have so high efficiency when it's 10 kicks and 28 handballs

Cripps and Fyfe together would be scary.

Especially for Carlton supporters.

As I understand it, the club is presently working towards a 5 year extension on his contract.

 

[Topkent]

Hopefully cripps sticks it out with Carlton. Unless he has a compelling reason to leave he will be a Carlton HOF by careers end.

Mods, is there a way to add a poll to thread?

His kicking was very good though.

You misspelled Oliver

Cripps now favourite for the brownlow according to a few markets.
Makes sense given he is clearly the best of this lot mentioned

 

[Juddernaut08]

Kelly is back.

Along with Merrett, who’s having a down year, Cripps has no one taking votes off him.

I have actually thought he's overhyped at times. I'm now thinking that may have been unfair. After blowing out the cobwebs against the Bombers he's had two great games. I still dont beleive he can be the only difference in our form. Our tall forwards are definitely part of it. But our midfield is so much more damaging with him out there.

Then it must happen all the time
