Play Nice Patrick Cripps v Marcus Bontempelli

[FlowersByIrene]

Imagine a midfield of Bont, Cripps and Fyfe with Nic Nat as a ruck...wow

Going with the All-2013 crew wouldn't be bad either.

Cripps - the inside beast
Bont - the inside/outside porsche
Merret - the gut running ball magnet

Throw in Kelly coming off the wing for some class.

I voted Cripps in the last poll, might change it to the Bont now. Goalkicking has improved.

That was more nerves and in experience against the crows in the final. Was always a very good shot for goal

He's third in our goalkicking. Only two goals off second.
4th and 5th (Redpath & Libba) won't play again this year either.

Yesterday showed why Carlton supporters wouldn't trade Cripps - we have the number 1 player in the comp for clearances & top 3 in contested possessions as a 21 year old.

We have this for the next 10 years! Perfect player to build your midfield around.

I hope we can rebuild quickly enough so we can see these guys go head to head in finals for many years to come.

His game yesterday was sublime.

Both absolute guns.
Haven't seen many Doggies games this year but clearly the Bont having a ripper, one of my favs.
Saw Cripps first hand yesterday and he was incredible.
Impossible to split atm.

Cripps stiff

 

[peppy la pew]

Cripps will get in

 

[ManOfClay]

Cripps will get in

And didn't

 

[peppy la pew]

As you said, stiff

 

[RWnBluey]

Cripps unlucky not to make the squad. Don't worry blues fans, he'll be AA for the next decade from next year

 

[Moldova]

Hmm I guess Cripps.

 

[ManOfClay]

Carlton fans seem to rate Cripps on what he might be able to do in a final.


We rate Bont on what he has produced. does everything Cripps does and more.

When we are as good as the Dogs are we'll come back to it.

Willing to wait until Cripps is 25 before comparing him to what a 20 year old is doing?

Cripps would be carving up finals if the Blues were in them

Cripps is really good, but not even a one-eyed Carlton supporter can deny that Bont is better.
A once in a generation player.

Oh St Kilda...

Im going to say Bontempelli for the following reason.

The Bulldogs are there in terms of winning a flag and Bontempelli has the opportunity with the current group to get another 1 or 2 if they can maintain the effort.

Cripps may be a while before (and if) he reaches that level with Carlton. They have a bit of rebuilding to do yet.

 

[ManOfClay]

Bont will probably be best and fairest of a premiership team this year, regarded as one of the game's biggest honours

 

[Elite Master]

Bont is a superstar in the making, he is already AA, a premiership player and probably soon to be a B&F winner and he has yet to turn 21 yet.

 

[Dazb86]

Bonts Grand Final performance was a little underrated IMO. Didn't get huge numbers but used the ball incredibly well in a scrappy high pressured game.

That kick by Bont to Tom Boyd....

I wonder how often that will happen when they are 25 and 26?

Shit, even next season when they are 21 and 22.
