I think he's made it clearly known, he bleeds navy blue.If Cripps is disgruntled and would like to move, a top 10 pick in the 2023 cohort wound be a good return, my favorites are Watson, Dursma, Caddy, Lorenz all sparkling talents with a decade of exciting footy ahead of them.
I really hope, in this part of the season, he's consulting people outside the industry to try and get his body up to AFL standard. Clearly the club can't!I'm ok that Martin has no trade value - he needs to get fit and play good footy for us as he's taken a lot of money so far for zilch output.
Id be happy to see Kennedy take the Cripps role in midfield and move Cripps up forward as a third tall, a 90/10 forward midfield split.

If you think our 'younger, more dedicated and hard working small forwards....apply themselves and keep chasing and tackling', you obviously don't look hard enough or attend games.I politely disagree.
He just doesn't work hard enough or get enough of the ball, and we should back our younger, more dedicated and hard working small forwards we have now (even if sometimes they struggle which they have been lately, at least they apply themselves and keep chasing and tackling etc)
Ah okay, happy to concede that you were right and I was wrong
Still rate JH-F very highly though and Port will have no regrets what they gave up for him (which quite possibly could be unders)
Horne-Francis is an interesting cat, but no doubt has a winning mentality/strong desire to win, which I wish most of our players had ...
One of our biggest problems: Forward pressure lets opposition back men run the ball out too easily.Great then we would have another forward who is unreliable from a set shot.. Cripps has never been good playing as a forward.. I think Kennedy has the ability to play as the medium forward, and unlike the others is a fairly accurate shot at goal.
How much longer can the club afford to give him?time will tell.
It's one of our glaring weaknesses.One of our biggest problems: Forward pressure lets opposition back men run the ball out too easily.
There’s a reason JSOS, Kennedy, Cripps, Cerra,Hewitt, Walsh fail as forwards in the modern game primarily because they cannot keep up with speedy transition ball movement required to be defensively effective in that role.
But that is on Tuesday, in November, not during the regular season.Martin easily in the best 22 when he's firing - but of course, this seems to be a pipedream. But it's a glaring deficiency in our current list that we desperately need to address.
With Hollands expected to miss 8 weeks, did we strongly consider putting him in the LTI list to take another MSD pick?
Martin will have a good 2024,
because he’s out of contract…
We’ve got to hope this is right but plan as if it won’t be. Draft or trade in a medium sized forward who is a threat to kick goals. It’s a glaring weakness on our list. Can’t see a club taking Martin off our hands for nothing and we need the draft capital so a salary dump where we hand over a pick doesn’t interest me.Martin will have a good 2024,

I really wanted us to get Philipou last draft time.We’ve got to hope this is right but plan as if it won’t be. Draft or trade in a medium sized forward who is a threat to kick goals.

Oh well we all have to take a punt on a long shot sometimeSlim to none, but we all love a come from behind, unexpected, long shot donkey to get up at the post when u have “field” as the last leg of the quaddie
Yes it was. The 2011 side also had a lot of holes, the key position players were pretty poor and the midfield depth wasn't that good. I know it was said that it was too introverted but I don't think it was overly an issue. The current side, definitely.Yes, many criticisms of the current group of being too introverted/nice was the same stuff levelled at the group 10 years ago. Though that sides small achievements (at least playing and winning finals) dwarf those of the current crop.
Our 2011 side would run rings around this current mob.
Let’s just pretend that we are up to team announcement deadline. Surely there’s an injury out of the box we can put on the LTI list.5pm deadline today for any changes to list prior to MSD. Currently, we do not have a pick. If we make a change (player on to LTI list, or retirement), we'll have pick 6. Seems unlikely at this stage.
Maybe we’re waiting to drop another spot this week in order to get a higher pick lol5pm deadline today for any changes to list prior to MSD. Currently, we do not have a pick. If we make a change (player on to LTI list, or retirement), we'll have pick 6. Seems unlikely at this stage.
