Probably because he played 300 games at AFL level, is a two time All Australian himself, a premiership winner, and a four time best and fairest winner at one of the best performed teams during the period in which he was winning them, and has since spent the best part of a decade in the media deliberately winding up people like you who believe that every decision made in football - even the ones that have no connection to Richmond - are part of a broader anti-Richmond conspiracy.
Nah Kane was winning them when we were horrible. Under a dubious club voting system. Probably deserved maybe 1 of those 4 best and fairest at best. The guy is a shit stain.

He won a BnF when we made a GF, also without him we probably wouldn’t have won the 2004 premiership, to suggest he wasn’t a great is crazy

You think Taranto was better than Merrett this year
?
Wasn’t going to chip in with my opinion about TT bc I’m obviously biased but I cannot stand comments like this.
He kicked 19 goals for the season more than any other pure midfielder other than Bont who also had 19. What’s more impactful than kicking the goals yourself?
Well that's the one he may have been close to deserving. His post 2007 football was disgraceful. Selfish chip scab 9 iroin dinky kicks, round the back easy possession only care about his game dross. Always rated Chad as a footballer, but in general the Cornes family are a virus.

From Essendon, the first half of the year Merrett was probably favourite to be the AA captain.
That has probably swung to Cripps now.
Merrett and Redman should make the 22.

His playing resume is fine but i will say when you go down the shock jock and troll route (no one can argue he does this) it effects credibility imo.

He was AA in 2009 and deserved his BnF, 2010 Cornes deserved it as the top 3 was him, Chaplin and Carlile. Cornes every day over Troy Chaplin.
Only one you can say he didn’t deserve was 2012, we all know Brad Ebert should had won.
He was a great though, came third in the norm smith medal votes in 2004

Are you seriously suggesting Cripps should be the AA captain?
Gulden is 61. Was talked about as the best kick in the AFL this year.

Merrett was never favourite for captaincy, and it's definitely not going to be Cripps.
It's only out of Bont, Moore and Greene.
Greene would be my pick

Think Toby Greene has a legitimate shot at the captaincy
Been massive this year both in on field performance and leadership

Lets be honest - Richmond supporters are just trying to justify putting their clubs prospects back 10 years by trading for Hopper and Taranto.
Taranto is a good player. That's where it ends though.

Just checked - he won 1 in a grand final year. I thought a couple of them came before it.
He might be a shit stain but he is as qualified as most to have a view on the game

I wouldn't be adverse to it. Without him Carlton finish well outside the 8.

He also runs through the midfield with quite a few CBAs

Agreed but to keep his job for this long there generally has to be a grain of truth to the contrarian views you peddle as part of your schtick and while I generally come from the other side of the spectrum to him with what I think about footy I can usually see where the seed of his statements come from.
His Taranto comment about him ranking 400th or whatever: obviously thats a gross exaggeration as to where he actually sits in the competition pecking order and was said with no genuine basis BUT it was borne of the fact that he isn’t nearly as good a player as his team needs him to be to justify the investment.
I'm perfectly happy with the trade. Would do it again.

That’s ridiculous, Cripps shouldnt be in the 44 (as many Carlton fans have said) let alone the best 22.
Bont or Greene will be captain
