Toast Mr Fumbles

[RookiePick]

aka The Crippler. Jamie "Double Denim" Cripps.

Just quietly, despite all the noise about his concrete hands, is putting together one of his best seasons for the club and I think that's worthy of notice amongst all the "we might only finish 4th" melting going on.

30 Goals (with 3 games minimum to play) at a very respectable 66.6666666%. Second highest season goals to date
4 tackles per game and elite for f50 tackles
Career high 1%ers
Career high Marks i50
Work rate through the roof
Hard as a cat's head

26.5 years old and showing all the signs he will lead the small forward division ably as the senior player when Lecca hangs up the boots. He has really stood up in the last month. He's not a Rolls Royce but he's reliable and doesn't leave anything out on the field. 'Grats on a solid season Jamie - now go get a flag!

At times a much maligned player on the board and amongst fans, yet Cripps is putting together a damn good season in 2018.

After a quiet start, over a stretch of 9 games since Essendon rd 14, Cripps has kicked 18.6, averaged 90 DT points and continues to lead our pressure in the forward half with strong tackling and harassing. His only poor game in that time came against St. Kilda. That courageous mark and goal on Sunday helped lift the side into contention for the win, and he's nailed other key long-range goals at stages this year.

Finally translating his natural ball-winning ability to the HFF, and taking more time with decision-making. Dare I say this is career-best form. Hope he brings it for finals.

Watching Ryan, Rioli and Cripps in their prime for the next few years will be a treat

His set shots have improved a fair bit.

 

[archiemoses]

Definitely career best form last month or so

Stood up well in the absence of a key forward

This thread feels right!! Is under-rated this bloke, must cause headaches for opposition coaching staff.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Reckon this guy is in the form of his life.

Missed it.

edit: Or Carbine got in too late, as it seems

 

[Ochre]

About time someone was brave enough to say it

 

[squashface]

Approaching critical mass of Cripps threads

 

[RookiePick]

The thread this board has been crying out for. OP a true hero of the people.

 

[RookiePick]

OP reported.

Yep I reckon across the last 5 weeks he has been our best player. Has really stood up in each game. Some have had better games, sure, but he has been consistently good in every one of them and is putting scores on the board.

Hope it continues as with JD and JK coming back in and Cripps in rare touch, if Ryan, Willie and Venners can also put in big performances over the next month we will have the scoring power to beat Richmond in a GF if our mids can supply 50+ i50s a match.

 

[Biggie]

Tell you what

This bloke runs all ****ing day.

Almost to his detriment - the fumbling etc because he is GASSED

 

[mattyc75]

Has sensational eyebrows, could transplant them onto the top of at least 3 of our players heads and they would be very happy

Has the ball handling skills of a lesbian but has the heart of a lion and the tenacity of a honey badger.

 

[avishka5]

That would be one of the greatest goals of all time if he kicked that.

Inappropriate touching. Left me with little choice.

Thread merge worked well for me

 

[Quinz]

If he could extend the arms when he marked I think I'd be a lot happier.
