And on Cripps kicking, anyone who suggests its poor should look at the delivery to SPS who subsequently kicked his first goal of his career. It was Diesel like.

His vision is diesel like. His kicking is not. That doesn't mean he is incapable of good kicks, but it does mean he is more prone to poor ones.

If you were listing his strengths, in order, kicking might be last.

F@@RK ME. Lewis is a repeat offender, snipes a guy and breaks his jaw and only gets 3 weeks!! Do they still think he's playing at Hawthorn?? This competition is a joke. Rules for some and rules for others and we've been shafted again.
Gee how tough is Cripps for playing on and not shirking at any point for the rest of the game from what I saw.
He's a champ.

Hell yeah, he hasn't been ruled out this week yet either. May well play following an assessment later in the week.

Yes, agree. That kick GTC refers to is the exception rather than the rule.

Even Cas kicks a goal from time to time.

I love Cripps. He would be my first picked every week. But the issues with his kicking are not minor IMO.

Presumably, Cripps' jaw has only a hairline fracture. Maybe a plate can be inserted to keep it secure?

Even if it's the slightest depression, do we really risk Patrick Cripps against the Cheating Scum who are mentored and ingrained by a Kevin Sheedy led culture to hate Carlton?

Yes, if you pay close attention, you should see that Cripps' delivery by foot is very effective.  Kicking for goal is not a strength yet.

I thought Ed was very poor last week because he was not used as a tagger. This week he ran with Lewis and was very effective; perhaps he needs to be taken to where the action is.

A pity that we tagged an over the hill Lewis and not Nathan Jones, although we probably don't have anyone capable of tagging Jones.
The only thing in this world worth more than a hill of beans is the Carlton Football Club.

Fast but a little selective about when he uses it.

Due to his history of injuries and lack of ps, I'd guess he's still got to build his tank.
If he is selective like you say. I hope he selects carefully then make his opponent look like he's standing still :))

I don't think that's an issue.  Cripps has shown that he can put the moves on to elude opponents and create time and space for an effective delivery.

I really don't get why some so-called supporters have to find fault with our players.  I guess that's what makes them happy  ???

Plowman went at 93% disposal efficiency. That's what we want off the half back line!!  A definite green shoot!!

Wow just wow. Well done to the Plow.
