I reckon Fyfe is his biggest threat to the Brownlow - will be interesting to see what happens with the MRO

Lachie Neale a fair chance too, and plays for a side the AFL have a significant interest in spruiking.

I get it on a footy forum but how often do you read a line like this from a sports journo?

"Then Cripps activated beast mode."

All of you read the article - all of you.

Colossal at the Colosseum


'The Carlton co-captain’s performance against Collingwood at the MCG was nothing short of colossal'.

Beast mode!

10 coaches votes again.

seems a little unfair all he will be getting for this season't work is a lousy brownlow medal, b & f, every media gong and the players choice for mvp......pfft...

 

[Faz 2000]

I think he might fall just a smidge short for the Brownlow for two reasons:

1. His dominant BOG displays will earn 1 or 2 votes instead of 3s in losses
2. When we start winning games in the back half of the year, it will be in HUGE parts because others put in 3 vote performances (SPS, Fisher, Curnow, McKay)

But right now he's the best player in the league (or as good as) AND a fantastic leader, so whatever is wrong at Carlton, whatever might give you cause for concern or pessimism, it sure as &*^% isn't this guy.

 

[Blue and Blue]

I remember once a story about Kouta. Describing him as the greatest athlete in the game and a sensational footballer with it.
I think Cripps is going to go past the great man.

Cripps polled 20 votes last year despite us being belted more often than not. With us being more competitive this season, he should get a fair smattering of 3 votes, even in our close losses.

******* deserves the lot and your dumplings for a year!!!

 

[BLUEALLTHRU]

I hope he can stay healthy, fit and strong to enjoy what he is orchestrating!

Tunneled!!!!

 

[the nail]

fyfe or neale to win it......lack of winning even 6 to 8 wins over last 2 years is going to cost him....bloody hell

 

[WFGodot]

Some of the things he’s done this year are simply unbelievable. He’s an inspiration to the kids at the club and he’s only 24!

If he is lucky with injury he will go down as one of the greats, not only of Carlton but the AFL.

Get this man some support in the midfield as the battering he takes week after week will impact longevity.

As for Brownlow medals. Sorry, don’t really care. I’d take the coaches or players association award ahead of it any day.

Regardless we are blessed to have the man on our side. What a star.

 

[thylacine60]

^^^^
struggling to fault this - even willing to overlook the clumsy spacing.......

 

[thebluelagoon]

its not a great inditement in the rest of the midfield, I know they are super young but have they dominant midfielder in the league to run around with and still can't win the odd game!

No … his teammates need to read this … ALL of them ...

"This can be viewed as an unhealthy reliance. After all, it’s not sustainable in the modern-day game for 21 players to constantly look to one teammate for in-game inspiration and single-handedly drag his team over the line."

 

[thylacine60]

even if we could get maybe an extra 20% rest for him per game - holy s**t......
