Well, VicPol has finished its investigation; no offence was committed!

Guy is threatening to sue Deeming, and Wilson is waffling about a Liberal Party investigation; a classic clusterfeck!

All they had to do is keep their heads down 🙄

Our line-up:

B:   14 Oliver Florent   47 Wade Derksen   26 Nick Haynes
HB:   2 Lachlan Cowan   35 Harry Dean   15 Billy Wilson
C:   5 Adam Cerra   18 Sam Walsh   13 Blake Acres
HF:   46 Matthew Cottrell   11 Mitch McGovern   12 Ben Ainsworth
F:   17 Brodie Kemp   10 Harry McKay   39 Talor Byrne
F:   27 Marc Pittonet   9 Patrick Cripps   7 Jagga Smith
Int:   19  Will Hayward   24 Nic Newman   29 George Hewett   30 Jack Ison   44 Francis Evans
Em:   4 Oliver Hollands   6 Zac Williams   38 Flynn Riley

[1] Disappointing that Weitering didn't come up, but we do need to get him fit. Too often we bring guys back too soon.
[2] Interesting to see Riley as Emergency again. Williams and Hollands sort of pick themselves, if they are going reasonably.
[3] Can Brodie Kemp learn to kick straight?

I can't say I'm a big fan of Matthew Guy, the bloke lacks something, but if that circulated clip is the alleged "assault" on Moira Deeming, then her credibility is also shot! Opportunity knocks.

Also, the Victorian Liberal Party. It's either mind numbingly stupid or ridiculously toxic, maybe both. Because at a bare minimum this appears to be acting in bad faith on several fronts, about as bad as it gets!

If that's the incident, Guy is just leaning in and drawing her towards him to make a private remark.  The other images of the event seem to show Guy and Deeming getting on like a house on fire  ::)

Cripps' form is scary when compared to the teams performance

Have a look at the following breakdown of team with Cripps possessions in that game in brackets.

Our worst 2 games for the year IMO would be...
Sydney (19 touches)
St. Kilda. (14).

Our best games of the year would be IMO
GWS (33)
Port Adelaide (32)
Geelong (30)
Brisbane (32) WE LOST
Fremantle (32) WE LOST
Richmond (32)
Bulldogs (29)

Average/poor performances against....
Melbourne (21)
North Melbourne (21)
Adelaide (29) 29 touches and WE LOST
Collingwood (25)
Essendon (23)


Coincidence??

No Cripps. No Carlton

You wanted to trade him when the whole list was playing well below their standard earlier in the year then we get on a roll after a coach change (pure coincidence of course) and now we can't win without him. Clearly there is more to this then simply No Cripps no Carlton. And if you want to credit all the wins to Cripps playing well not sure what happened in the 4 games when he had over 25 touches and we still lost?  

He is dual brownlow medalist and still a top 3 inside bull and along with all the top tier players who naturally have a big influence on the result when they fire - Heeney, Daicos, Bont, Jackson, Dawson, Gawn, Smith are all in that basket so do all those teams fall into the same line of thinking?

Maybe i still want to trade him. Whats that got to do with it?
Never said he can't play.
You gotta give up something to get something.

20-25 touches these days is the old 17 touches. For a dual brownlow medalist, you'd take that if you were the opposition.
