He has been pretty good during their current streak, hasn’t he?Cripps has been terrible this year
I’ve found it’s generally the Fox commentators, but kudos to them for trying at least because focusing on it like us can only really be done internally. The 7 commentary box is more preoccupied with barracking for the contest which is much more irritating.It's not just Dermie. You hear a fair few of them say things like - we know Collingwood will take the game on; they only know one way (said as a compliment). Meanwhile we're in territory mode, where we are looking for spot kicks and handballs a bit further forward along the boundary line - and if they're not there it's a kick down the line to a pack.
His form over his last 4 games has literally been one of the reasons for their turnaround in form. In the last 4 games has been been BOG twice, names 2nd back once and in the best the other. He is a superstar and a massive loss if he is out.Cripps has been terrible this year
Yes but it’s the injury affect at Carlton. Silvagni is a crab when he plays and weekly cries of delist are made , when he’s injured he’s an AA forward that they greatly missCripps has been terrible this year
Who's reporting the Cripps omission?Believe it when I see it with Cripps. No mention on SEN yet and one outlet running with it makes it hard to believe at this point.
Who's reporting the Cripps omission?
This is clear to anyone that watches us. Doubt Derm does apart from the few games he's assigned. David King has been on about our differing levels during a game all year.Really odd take from Derm. I feel like sr36 nailed it with the ebb and flow of how the majority of our games go. I’d say we’ve been full throttle across a full match maybe 4 or 5 times this year. I think Port were one of the teams to push us to our limit.
Apparently the m’s little ways back in the thread.Who's reporting the Cripps omission?
True. We are number 1 for using the corridor, we're also top 5 for using the boundary. The fact that we have alternative game modes is one of our strongest attributes.It's not just Dermie. You hear a fair few of them say things like - we know Collingwood will take the game on; they only know one way (said as a compliment).

I’m hoping he plays!
It's not purposely playing poorly. It's risk/reward. When we need to, we take more risks and usually score more. If we're on top there's no need to do that, so we play more conservatively and score less, keeping the oppo at arm's length. The conservative approach, given that it's more kick, mark also helps to conserve energy, so it has dual benefits.No one purposely plays shite football for extended periods of the game. Their commitment to the gameplan wouldn’t fluctuate wildly.
About as good as you'll get for July in Melbourne IMO. Last night was even better for this time of year.What the weather like tonight folks?
I don't think our current squad is setup for a dynasty, but we do have enough young players to start building up to one. It's why even if we win the flag this year, I feel we should concentrate on adding youth not topping up with veterans. Nick's a special player, need to be looking for sustained success as he develops and enters his prime.Given we couldn't turn 2010/11 into a dynasty, I'll never talk about dynasties. Let's just win one flag then worry about the rest.
But in saying that, I don't think we're as reliant on Pendlebury, Howe & Sidebottom this year as we were last year, and they can all go around again. The next batch - Elliott, Mihocek, Mitchell & Crisp - all still have a few good years left, I reckon.
He is now according to Ch7I’m hoping he plays!
I've just heard that as well.Hearing Cripps late out. Anyone confirm?
