Patrick Cripps or Tom Mitchell?

[Catsmaninamerica]

There's been many media articles to back up my statement that Oliver has put together one of the all time great first 50 games.

How about you show us 3 articles that categorically prove that the pasty little Fanta pants has in fact played one of the “all time great 50 games”? And if you can’t back this outlandish statement up with fact and proof, how about you **** off out of the bay.

I would say 23 versus 25 is a significant age difference in football. The important thing though is talent and effectiveness. Cripps is younger AND better.

But you're welcome to your crab. Love him as much as you like.

Agree re effectiveness Laph!

Mitch has more effective disposals, greater DE, more goal assists, score involvements, less clangers, gains more meters, more kicks, more marks, more clearances, more rebounds, more tackles, more intercepts, more inside 50’s, more wins....

Using the media as his backup lol. If you believe the media then Rance is the GOAT full back.

No they couldn't, there was no trial by video in those days.



That's some Freudian slip.

The Cats aren't a legitimate team, they would need to be playing by the same rules as everyone else and they're not.

Your distorted reality that is absent of truth must be a wonderful place! I admire your ability to ignore fact continuously. Facts remain,

Leigh Matthews was a cheating, cowardly thug. His legacy is that he’s an illegitimate hack.

The Whorks are so shit at rebuilding that rusted on supporters like you have actually given up hope and switched teams. They’re illegitimate.

You’ve switched teams twice this year. You’re illegitimate.

Mitchell "wins" most of his "clearances" as a receiver and is much lower on centre clearances, where the inside beasts thrive. Watch closely and you'll see that Mitchell's centre work is more and more often done from the HBF, running through.

Centre clearances
Mitchell 52
Cripps 50

Mitchell confirmed inside beast

Also has as many hit outs as 8 Meters despite giving him a 13cm advantage!

He’s a demigod

I find it hard to work out where the channeling Hodepodge ends and the outright invention begins...

Free kicks
Cripps 55
Selwood 45

Has he overtaken Selwood as the biggest umpires pet in the game?

Not that you’d know cos your team doesn’t have a player who does it. But when a hard inside midfielder puts his head over the ball, they often get infringed by lesser talented players. This drawing a free kick. The Whorks don’t actually have a genuinely good inside mid. So you are excused for not realising that this is how AFLM works. Hope this clears things up for you friend.

I'm bringing the facts. Saying that he was deregistered even though they could have suspended him is not factual.

Already proven wrong. Your case was based on him being deregistered but it turns out that was just using a loophole to suspend him. Four weeks isn't much.

The Whorks are so shit at rebuilding that rusted on supporters like you have actually given up hope and switched teams. They’re illegitimate.

You’ve switched teams twice this year. You’re illegitimate.

So far they're better at rebuilding than your side. I switched clubs because I like winning, and now I'm Richmond I get to win all the time. Why is everyone always trying to pretend I'm doing it for other reasons? Jealousy?

Joel is 16th in contested possessions this year, and 2nd in free kicks.
Kennedy on the other hand is 5th in contested possessions, 93rd in free kicks.

This would suggest it's about more than winning your own ball.

 

[Pessimistic]

You seem to be under the strange misapprehension that clearances and working inside are the same thing.

You might want to read the fine print.

Mitchell "wins" most of his "clearances" as a receiver and is much lower on centre clearances, where the inside beasts thrive. Watch closely and you'll see that Mitchell's centre work is more and more often done from the HBF, running through.

His contested possession rate is low,only about 1/3, and very few of them are hard ball gets. Lots of loose balls and opponent in the vicinity touches. Ironically,many of those cheap one two handballs he loves so much count as TWO contested possessions. Bizarre, isn't it. And yet still his contested numbers are low.

If you think Titchell is an inside player you are sadly mistaken. He should be, because what he has above all else is great hands in traffic (he's a world class chucker too, probably the best since Murali retired).

But Tom prefers the open spaces more. Even though both his pace and his general disposal skills are far below what is required in an effective outside mid.

Hawks spread the load more than any team, always have under clarko

Your disbelief is warranted. The pounding he is giving 8 meters is unbelievable!

Don’t expect you to get it. Footy iq isn’t high enough.

[Tiger2709]

Hey there you illiterate pop up bandwagoner. Could you please do me a favour? See, the next 2 weeks, your collection of shit truck footballers are going to be flogged like an ugly red headed step child. Could you please make sure you keep checking in with us after these up coming beatings? Just so we don’t worry about you like we do when muppets like tazhawk go missing after a loss.

Thank you.

Sure thing grammar boy, what is it with Geelong and redheads, the place is a breeding ground for them. Fortunately the gene is dying out, no redheads no Cats.
Only shame is, with no Cats, we might run into a worthy team in the finals with a decent midfield, instead of Flop, Duck and Decrepit the 3 stooges of the AFL, nyuk, nyuk, nyuk.

Now you are just being silly.

 

[Collins-Langford-Ayres]

Both please.

 

[Pessimistic]

Both please.

And Oliver

 

[Baldur]

Cripps is both an A grade mid and a key position player.

 

[GWBogan]

We need a crab fight to settle this.

 

[richoatthedisco]

Is this thread a joke? Cripps is a beast. Mitchell is the most ineffectual player in the game. Fancy having 50 one-metre handballs in a team that gets flogged.

Oliver has put together a top 3 all time first 50 games

Lol.
