Trengove smashing Phillips in the ruck, Phillips is years away!

We are in real trouble for the next 2 or 3 years!

Didn't have a pre-season as he was on the LTI list.

Comes in because we didn't have anyone else available when Kreuzer couldn't come up.
Comes up against an athletic beast in Ryder who has come back off a weeks rest.

Not sure what you were expecting from him, but we were asking a lot of him given the above.

Tuohy was a mediocre defender but he actually defended. Simpson and Docherty have been woeful this year.

Simpson should have retired, Docherty has still got years in him

There will be a few changes next week. A few fellas look hurt, Murphy, Cripps, SPS, Weiters all look lame.
2021-Pi$$ or get off the pot
2022- Real Deal or more of the same? 0.6%
2023- "Raise the Standard" - M. Voss Another year wasted Bar Set
2024-Back to the drawing boardNo excuses, its time
2025-Carlton can win the 2025 AFL Premiership

Cripps is a great player, but I'd be trading him sooner rather than later.

In our team he is no value, he is surrounded by players that are too slow, and opposition clubs use his opponent to sprint forward at every opportunity. He's too slow to make up for lost ground once the opposition get hold of the ball. They do this because they do not need to respect him as a forward target they are able to roll the dice.

He's got 40 or 50 games up now, if he can't make himself a viable forward target he's in for a long career full of pain.

Watched Touhey in the game against hawthorn last week.

He's exactly the same plodder that he was for us, just in a better team.
Still wish he was our plodder though

Cripps is injured. Oblique strain.

He is wearing a padded vest under his top.

Should've rested him tonight.

Agreed. He hasn't been right all year, no point in playing him now.
2012 HAPPENED!!!!!!!

All due respect, turn the TV off, go to bed.

That's what I mean about Jack. 40 out, almost directly in front, go back, line it up and hopefully kick a goal. but, no, he had to play on.

X2.  Totally underdone, but there was no one else.
