Cripps Charged by MRO

July 26, 2020, 06:57:31 pm

With wrestling. What a joke.

Carlton co-captain Patrick Cripps has been charged with wrestling by the Match Review Officer.

The incident occurred with North Melbourne midfielder Jed Anderson during the second quarter of Saturday’s win over the Kangaroos.

The MRO charge carries a $1,250 fine, which can be reduced to $750 with an early guilty plea.

The Club has until midday on Monday to respond to the charge.

I think this is a more serious issue to contest, Cripps gets manhandled every game but gets zero assistance from the umpires.

This is a simple matter of cheating imo. Time is overdue for the AFL to ensure it is stamped out. It's a very bad look to be condoning this ugly aspect to our game.

Its unfortunate that this has to be discussed publically.

Cripps needs to get a bit nastier with his tagger. If you are going to go the MRO route, its really simple, iron out an opponent as legally as possible, and then we will see if they want to try all these tactics again. Get the suspension if you have to. It would be one worth wearing this season.

The other scenario is that we might elect to "manage" Cripps, and see the AFL likes their star players not playing football.

Yep..said this on the other thread, Cripps has allowed this to happen by being Mr nice guy and needs to mongrel up with his taggers and get even and yep I'd wear a week to make the point to his future opponents that its going to be a tough day playing on me...Greg Williams and Wayne Johnston can give him some coaching in this area...

His teammates need to help.

A tactic could be to drag an opponent to meats leading avenue, and bomb the ball on the opponents head.

Then get meat to do a fevola.

We walked a lot taller with Fev in our team.

Don't ask Cripps to be something he's not. We don't need or want mongrols. I'd much rather him hurt oppositions fairly than get sucked into doing something that tarnishes his name.

I worry that whingers may be winners, and sticking your chest out and braving things might just get you jobbed on the chin!

AFL is overpopulated with kents and ar5eholes that would run over their own mother for a win, I think it's the nepotism and narcissism that breeds this mindset. Eventually taken to excess it leads to a guy like James Hird, the "Whatever it Takes" man, who remains gobsmacked he has been tagged as a wrong doer to this day!

Unfortunately kents like Pittard and Anderson are more populous in the AFL than Cripps types.

Casboult doesn't feel comfortable throwing his weight around. It doesn't come naturally to him. When Malthouse told him he had to, he attempted to, but kept getting reported.

As for the tactic, its something i've long been a fan of. When in doubt, specifically when you have an extra defender in your F50, don't keep it off him, bomb it on top of him. Then everyone has a run and jump at him while he simply has to wait there until the pack arrives to clean him up.
Do that enough times and suddenly the loose man finds himself being 'out of position' a lot more.

Cripps ironing out his tagger is the last thing we need.

Cripps is trying to get the better of taggers by using his size and strength and that's simply playing into their hands. What he should be doing is keeping moving so that his tagger has to focus on a moving target and is less aware of blocks set by our other mids. Perhaps even Pittonet could exercise the physicality he reputably has to give Cripps a clear passage.

Dealing with a tagger is not rocket science and I'm disappointed that Cripps (and Docherty) isn't being schooled in anti-tagging tactics. I'd like to see the club set up a session for Cripps with Cameron Ling; even a phone conversation would help.

I'd also like the club to bombard the AFL with footage of the infringements against Cripps that the umpires miss/ignore. Other clubs manage to turn around the umpires' treatment of star players but we seem far too willing to bend over

Martin, Bontempelli, Fyfe, Cunnington, Mitchell, Cogs, Whitfield, Neale etc all deal with tagging and don't need a Royal Commission to deal with it. If Cripps used his size and strength more he wouldn't have lightweights like Anderson shoving him about. Pittonet does need to do more as do Cripps teammates but it does get back to Cripps imposing himself physically and leading from the front. Have been pleased with Walsh who does have a go back at players who try it on with him and it will set him up for the future and he won't end up an easy target.

Yeah like last week and got pinged with a free, the retaliator always cops it in the ass. Back in the day, it got sorted behind play or at the next context by the enforcers. Can't do that anymore, been stamped out of the game whether it be going the knuckle or running through through someone with a perfect hip and shoulder. The officiators need to protect players like Cripps, plain and simple.

Yep initially you will give some free's away, But like Dusty the umps will start to ignore the off the ball stuff and it will sort itself out.
You have to protect yourself, JJ from the Bulldogs got targeted and the Dogs whinged and whinged and got nowhere... went on for ages until JJ stiffened the upper lip pushed back and ran his opponents off their legs.
I even saw Tom Mitchell throw one on the weekend. Selwood is another who became a nasty little prick because he had to, wrestling, sly ones it's all part of his game now because the umps can't be around every corner holding your hand.

Diesel had those devastating 3" rib ticklers, probably broke a few, blokes weren't expecting such force from so close, must have been like being hit by Tyson. Watching Kill Bill Vol 2 reminds me of them.

You'd think when they saw Diesel handball they might trigger that he would have a reasonable jab, not Einsteins most of those AFL players, not by a long way! They must have thought they hand-balled the same way, feckwits!
