Its also sign that Patty still has belief in the club despite the latest shenanigans.
A loyal man.

I'm very glad that Crippa has re-signed as I couldn't imagine seeing him anywhere else.
That being said. I hope there are some rule changes to return footy to the contested game it should be or Crippa may never be as effective as he was in 2017 and 2018.

Great result for the club and Patty.
A massive show of faith from our captain.
Now it’s time for him and a number of others to lead us forward.

Deserves it. Carried 21 other blokes for so long. Just needs to add forward craft to his bow as years 4-6 no doubt he will need to spend more time there.

First time poster, long time reader of the forum, and what better time to join now the captain is signed on for another 6 years.
I've read this forum for years and at times it has served as a form of therapy for the on field disappointments, so I don't want my first post to come across as judgmental as I know everyone on here are long suffering, loyal fans who want nothing more than to see the club be successful, but surely this a positive day for the club.
As we shouldn't we don't know much about the contract terms other than the length which can only be positive in the context of us supporters wanting players to show loyalty to the cause.
Living in Perth I've had to listen all year long to uninformed, boorish drivel from mainly West Coast Eagles fans about how "Cripps will return to WA to play for a successful club blah blah blah", so at the very least this will put an end to that, and at best its Cripps making a definitive statement that he sees better times ahead at the club.
Obviously they need to start winning more consistently, and hopefully the review will go some way to addressing some of our deficiencies, but in the interim hopefully this will give the club a lift that it so desperately needs at the moment.
I'll give my views on other issues on the appropriate threads over the course.
Cheers to you all!

Lucky I’m a huge Get Smart fan and have the boxed set and it’s on high rotation at my house - otherwise my 30 year old kids wouldn’t have got the reference

Great news for the club and its supporters. Continuing the trend of every required player re-signing with the club since the re-build began.
For a club who hasnt performed to expectations this year and going through a review to sign arguably their 2 most important players says something about our much maligned club.

Herald Sun claiming that it was negotiated from 5 years at $900k to 6 years at $800k, the club basically gets an extra year for $300k, Good result for all IMO.
Would love to have Walsh extended before seasons end, but with so many OOC players it might make it tough.

Great news. Shows the man's character. Never felt that there was any doubt about him re-signing. Great for the club and great for Teague. Now to start getting ourselves out of that hole we have dug ourselves into.
I'm not crying, you're crying

I'm staying out of the main thread - way too much negativity there. Love seeing the positivity in this thread. I know Crippa hasn't performed up to his standards this year, but from a statistical perspective:
Same draft class, 10 picks apart (Kelly at #3, Crippa at #13)
Yet, media personalities are more than happy to suggest we go hard at Kelly on a multi-year high salary deal. Cripps has been talked of as struggling. Statistics show otherwise. He hasn't been huge, but he has been more than serviceable.
| Crippa | Josh Kelly | |
| Disposals | 24.6 | 25.6 |
| DE% | 67% | 71% |
| Contested Possessions | 13.1 | 9.2 |
| Clearances | 5.5 | 3.6 |
| Tackles | 5.1 | 4.5 |

I blew a fuse when this news broke. I love Crippa. He’s one of us and this proves it. Anyone who is negative about this can go support someone else. Great uplift for the weekend. Would love nothing more than for him to lift 17 for us
