Speculation Patrick Cripps [OOC 2027]

[Snuffaluphagus]

Surprised we didnt have a thread for Cripps yet as from general reports, seems the most likely to move at year end of the "valuable" players Carlton can move on for currency.

If he was to move, who to and for how much?

 

[bradfisher14]

You'd think it'll be to one of the WA clubs for a late first. Sad it had to end this way, but I guess that's how it goes sometimes.

Future 3rd and Carlton pay half his contract …. Like Clarrie

I needed a good laugh today. Thanks

I know …. He’s probably worth less than Clarrie

Is there actually a WA pull (not everyone seems to want to come back to the Motherland). Is he his wife from WA?

Carlton fans thinking they’re going to be able to get a first or early second for a 32 year old on the brink of carking it, who’s completely useless outside of stoppage, is very amusing

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

Paddy to Replace Paddy At the Cats?

 

[Foxman98]

Bloke is cooked no chance anyone pays anything near a first for him

 

[Mighty Storm]

How much $$$ is he on

 

[txbyhull]

How much $$$ is he on

Would be over a mil at least

 

[Art Vandelay_]

It'd have to be a token pick. The guy is cooked.

 

[Gw2_James]

He got 32 disposals and a goal last week against the reigning premiers at their home ground, what are you people talking about his cooked.

Hes got atleast 2 years left of solid football, a team close to a premiership could do with a player like that.

I'd happily give up a end of 1st rd pick if it got me that type of output.

 

[Jason JC]

His worth in draft picks depends how badly Carlton want to move him on, and who pays the salary I guess.

Value over replacement really isn’t there, given he’s 32 next year, $1m+ contract, slow, invisible outside the contest, does not have a second position, is built for an out of date game style, and so on.

Why would a Hawthorn for example take him over Nash for anything more than a third rounder, when it also means they likely have to play him almost every centre bounce, and take on $1m+, at 32, and Carlton don’t want him?

I believe they are both from the area

Done.
You give up a end of 1st round pick and we will take him.
Though you would also need to pay a chunk of his salary.

Cripps carried Carlton and was a warrior, the issue is, he would only have another 2 years left in him.

And it would take at least that long to get the Carlton out of him, so he can contribute.

9 kicks 23 hand balls

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

I struggle to see getting a 1st round pick for MAYBE 40 passable games out of him. The difference between him and Merret as well is that one's game is going to age a lot better. You'd think with Merrett you can always Zorko him and he'll play for a while longer.

I raised the idea of getting him and playing him in Voss's position. I have admittedly never been as sold on Voss as others Would create a lot of depth in two spots and playing primarily forward is going to be Cripps best chance of not falling apart in a year or two.

Leads the league in contested possessions and is top 5 in clearances.

"cooked"

Well yeah

He gets cooked on the spread (hence you're shit and lose 2nd halves badly) all he is good at is getting an in and under handball out alla Brad Crouch

He averages less then 10 kicks a game yet goes at 55% by foot

You’re not paying a first for a 32 year old on huge coin who, while elite at that one thing, can only do one thing. If Cripps could kick, affect literally anything on the outside, play forward, etc. he’d probably be worth an early second.

 

[largebus]

But but but he got 45 brownlow votes 2 years ago!!!

 

[Forward Press]

Obviously can change significantly at the end of the season but clearance machines like Patrick Cripps

don't come easily.

Still doesn't mean West Coast - or any club - should part with a first round pick for him, though.
