Cripps is a free agent next year.
He may want to be a one-club player.
He may even see the chance of a flag in the next year or two.
We really don't know his mind or his personal situation.
So it's all just a guess.

But it wouldn't surprise, and I doubt many would begrudge him, if for family reasons he chose to go back to WA for the last few years of his playing career.
It may co-incide with his daughter starting school...continuity in education for their children is often a consideration for older players.
As a first step handing over the captaincy for a year or two, but still being there in strong support, may be a good move.

As concerned fans, we should file a missing person’s report. Hmmm……..

Brisbane had 3 co captains in 2026. With Fagan on board I wonder if he will influence the thought process in this space.

Cripps mentioned the succession in an interview last week.
We have a lot of new faces across the board in a number of positions.
Is it time?
Who should be captain in 2027?

Literally only a point or two in it!

Well done to the girls for finishing 4th, even with the few hiccups we've had on the way.

The girls need to work on their after the siren set shots.  While Darcy successfully ran the clock down, even a behind could have made the difference between 4th and 5th.  It would have been nice if they had nailed the torp, but a drop punt may have more chance of making the distance.
