Mentally and physically shot?.....otherwise wtf knows...not the same player he was and hasn't been for 18 monthsInjured/not fit?
Tom Browne typically non-definitively suggesting that Cripps is battling through back soreness and OP
Tom Browne's News Update - Patrick Cripps' groins, Jamie Elliott's leg, Carlton's fall out - Triple M Footy AFL
We called Tom Browne out on assignment and he gave us updates on some big injuries, team selection news, Brodie Grundy's form and crowd sizes.omny.fm
So he is a medical expert now.
He probably diagnosed Cripps with Lupus.So he is a medical expert now.
Weitering came back on with heavy strapping to left lower leg - noticed didnt have his usual zip and jump
Walsh has had thigh strapping on for two rounds now - lacked teh speed off the mark last night
Crippa has run out of gas in first two games - more so last night
I think Richmond game took its toll on teh blokes who do the heaviest lifting...
Looked like Martin - who played fantastic last night may have strained himself again late in the game...
and Brown is a goose
Been drinking his own bathwater since the Brisbane game in 2019.
I’ll be surprised if Martin plays next week from how he looked just before the final sirenWeitering came back on with heavy strapping to left lower leg - noticed didnt have his usual zip and jump

All that I know, is that Cripps post-match was smiling. Walsh you could tell was genuinely disappointed.
Cripps has strengths it’s up to the coaching panel to utilise them and set him a role to utilise them
We aren't a drilled team that plays totaalvoetbal though, which we'd need to be to make this work - think richmond's defensive running to cover for dusty.Which is? Not sure for mine. Mobility, lack of defensive appetite and foot skills seem to reduce him to being on ball at the contest. When we moved him out of the middle in the third quarter last night, we got back in the game. If he’s to be our contested beast, the entire midfield structure needs to be set up to cover his deficiencies but we’re not setup for that. I’m stumped at this point.
Fair bit in that for mine. Good call.People are going way to far with the Cripps hate. He will be back, you can’t keep good players down.
I feel the AFL is also to blame for this, introducing these rules a month before the season starts.
Cripps lost weight last season to be more nimble, we all know it didn’t work. Then spends all off season packing on the muscle to return to the contested beast he was expecting the same style of play. Then a month before the season they change the rules making the game open up. Last seasons Cripps would have dominated this year
