There is only one Tony Lockett - don't mar the great mans footy name by attaching your drivel to it.
Rumour Patrick Cripps will go home to WA if Carlton miss the finals in 2021

You do realise that stats across his career includes those from his average season in 2020? The only reason you don't want to use the most relevant and proper stats is because you know that you're wrong. It's hilarious.

If they make finals he will and should sign up, but if they have another crap season Carlton should actively try and cash in as it's not working with him.
yes to the latter, if he wants out of course. The club will seek the deal that benefits the club the most and, if it was to lose its premier midfield then no doubt it will be seeking a ready made A grader to replace - whether that is in a trade involving Cripps, or acquiring draft picks that are guaranteed to net an A grader from another club

So...
Essendon should release Shiel and let Merrett go too - clearly "it isn't working" for them @ Essendon - in fact all Clubs that don't play finals in a year should release all their best players to finals teams because "it isnt working for them" .... Saad should hav been released and Daniher without all the fuss I gather ...
very funny this 'it isnt working for him ' meme

Bro calma, If you have another s**t season maybe Cripps isn't the "savior" people think he is?
And if Essendon suck again (possible) and we finish bottom 3, maybe Merrett walking for another top 3/4 pick works better for us in the long run even though it would suck losing someone like him.

Yeah. Why would any Club want to retain a player who has been in the conversation of the best handful of players in the game since his second year, is a ripping bloke, loved and respected by his team mates and admired by opponents, bleeds the Club colors and is openly and completely committed to leading his side to the top?
Just unload him for a couple of good picks.
Arguably even more important is Cripps' potential to influence trade in targets to come, and trade out targets to stay (I'm talking about you, Harry).
Cripps will re-sign, and you can bet he'll spend a lot of time through the year in Harry McKay's ear.
How is this thread still consistently pumping.
You'd need to give up a FAIR bit more than that
I reckon once we put Merret beside him, things might work really really well

I'd agree that Merrett is the perfect player for you to target.

2012 - Left shoulder injured, didn't heal well and had to have surgery.
2016 - Broke the same leg twice in a 12 month span.
2018 - 6 weeks out due to hamstring injury.
2020 - 3 weeks out due to the same hamstring injured.
Cripps has never in his 8 year career missed multiple games in a row due to injury. "iNjUrY pRoNe"
Lol, whoosh, straight over the top.

Then you might as well elaborate.
Not one Freo supported has used injuries to Fyfe in their arguments, you it seems Carlton love bringing them up as to why Cripps had a bad year.

But is that not true? He was injured and that was the cause of an average year according to his standards.
My problem is, that people think this one injury means all of a sudden his years are numbered. Posters in this thread really think he only has 3-4 years left.
Look at Fyfe, riddled with injuries and still doing incredible at 30 years this season.
I am not talking about injuries shortening his career, i am talking having injuries and performing.
You know like Fyfe has.
It’s February.
Once the season starts it’ll die and when Cripps re-signs it will be locked

He can’t request a trade to a club that doesn’t have money to pay him...
Cripps’ and his management would be acutely aware of West Coast’s poor salary cap position after selling the farm for Tim Kelly.

Franklin, Cameron, Lynch, Dangerfield... it's a good thing quality players never join good teams.

West Coast current cap issues are well documented.
Cripps isn’t taking a 300k+ paycut per year to join a ‘bottom half of the 8’ team.
