Jason Cripps

Great to see Cripps get best on ground for Springvale on the weekend

Hopefully he will be back for you guys soon - I reckon that's a great story and Saint Kilda should be applauded for showing so much loyalty too him.

Maybe he will play against us this week.


ps - why was Lazar Vidovic not given the same chance when he did his knee? I know he was a bit older, but it seemed harsh at the time.

Jason Cripps has been brought on very slowly this year.I`m sure he will be selected to play this weekend.

Well said Jars

The way he has conducted himself has been first class. Crippa has worked his arse off to get back into the team over the past 3 years and for him to be so close to selection is an amazing story. He won the best clubman award a few years ago and has spent as much time as anyone at the club, not only through his time in the gym and supporting his teammates but also assisting in coaching the VFL team.

Like you said, I think the way the St Kilda Football Club have stuck by him has been magnificent.

It's strange to think one of the last games he played was the 1997 Grand Final. Hopefully he is selected this week and if not, in the near future.

Appreciate that post Jars, I think the reason why they got rid of Lazar was definitely due to the age (32 I think), I think they could've handled it a hell of a lot better by the way.

He wanted to help out as a ruck coach too I think, but they didn't take him up on it for some absurd reason, Tim Watson deciding to get the Dear brother from Hawthorn that wasn't actually a ruckman to become our ruck coach!

Anyways Tim Watson is/was a moron!

Cripps was Springvale's best & if his name is included for this weeks team I will have a smile from ear to ear. I wouldnt expect him to play well even, it's just the achievement that I would be proud of. I reckon it will bring a few extra saints supporters through the gates too.

The perfect result

Crows by 97 points with Cripps being the Saints best player.

Couldn't be happier

Young Kositschke is going to be a superstar.

Why was Milne left out?

Great question Jars I don't know.

I can also ask why
Peckett, Hudghton, Young, Ryan & Schwarze got games.

My guess is that Blight is having a final look at some blokes and that's why Milne was rotated off. I certainly hope that's the reason anyway.
