Re: Pre-Game Pressure: AFL 2019 Rd 5: Carlton vs Western BUlldogs

How Cripps, under no pressure, having taken a mark could possibly choose to spear a long bomb at Gibbons in the last quarter will forever go down as one of the most difficult decisions to get my head around ever.
That feels like a pre-programmed behavior, a coached behavior, although I not he coach complained about it!
I suspect Cripps acted in that manner, as planned, and that the plans probably required someone other than Gibbons to be at the fall of the ball!
Or else Cripps was just wrong.
How does anyone explain otherwise?
