Dunkley I think.
Cripps seems to love dining out on us so it's only logical if Bez is right.
I like doing something proactive from the start and letting them know we mean business.
Yep whomever is on Weitering needs to get busy. If it's Daniher then he has a blueprint from playing on Taylor: Sitting deep and wrestling BAD getting up the ground GOOD
If Weitering is on Hipwood he needs to get on his bike and we need to play through him. He is quite a nice kick and a long one so even if he marks it at 50 he can convert. I think overall his goalkicking is pretty good now - not totally reliable but has kicked some ripper set shots this year, including from the wrong side for a left footer

I’m confident this will be a good game from both teams, but not as confident in getting the result we want (if both Zorko and Rich are out).
Zorko is our barometer and really lifts us when we’re in trouble, while Rich controls the backline and takes the load off the younger guys with his kicking. Our heavy kicking game plan was essentially built around him.
We’ll win the clearances (best in the comp v a poor clearance side) and have plenty of chances, but I’m very worried about our ball movement from the back half. Carlton tend to pressure and close-in really well at Marvel.

That's just insane . You could drum up a better team from those on the sidelines than those playing.Look at this West Coast injury list - all I can say is 'lol':

They have no one kicking goals apart from Curnow and McKay either. Their smalls arent really a threat. Especially with how slow their ball movement is.
We just need to make sure we turn up mentally in Melbourne. Apart from that final its not something we have done well much recently
And hasnt Petreski-Seton been suspended as well to cap off there unavailables?

I trust we will try to avoid the Ah Chee vs Cripps matchup this time ... would hate to see poor Patrick subjected to such soul destroying guilt again...
It still sticks in my craw because Cripps went on to win the Brownlow with votes when he should've been suspended and Cal who had cemented a spot in the team didn't fully recover last year in my view and hasn't played a Senior game this year.
Sometimes there's no justice.
end of the day he was found innocent. ah chee was unfortunate but Cripps didn't seek out to hurt him. wrong place, wrong time.

Technicality I think.
Yes absolute injustice, Lachie should be a 2 time Brownlow medallist.
aren't all suspension decisions based on one or more technicalities? end of the day he was cleared and free to play.
it's not like they gave him free votes. he still had to go out there and earn the brownlow.

Rubbish. He was not found innocent, he was found culpable by the MRO and charged, and took it to the panel and found guilty, but then the ban was overturned based off some verbiage in the AFL's instructions to the panel. At no point did any of them find Cripps innocent, in fact the reverse. Everyone that judged his actions and not some legal technicality found him to be at fault.

2022 Brownlow medallist: Patrick Cripps*
nice revisionist history. there are many cases overturned on appeal. doesn't mean they're guilty.
end of the day he was cleared to play, earned the most votes and is a worthy brownlow medalist.
No . No suspensions are based on legal technicalities. Suspensions are based on on field actions. Of that he was found guilty.

I think you should probably shouldnt make the argument on this board. Not likely to be a popular view at all. I dont think this board is as bad as some others, but its probably not the time or place

Got to get those payments outside of the salary cap somehow
His case was not overturned on the basis of any actions on the field
He set out to make a statement and belted Cal in the head , concussed him ,rightfully was suspended . The AFL and everyone involved was filthy on the outcome which was a flukey legal technicality not related to the incident. Which I daresay will never happen again.
So no. No way is he a worthy Brownlow Medallist.
Fair enough. End of the day all of us didn't like to see it, but the carry on to cheapen Cripps' brownlow is a bit childish tbh.
This game should be a cracker, we're in shit form but at home. Bris are in hot form but have questions on the road.
Midfield battle of the 2 master and apprentices should be exciting: Neale/Ashcroft vs Cripps/Walsh. 2 Brownlow medallists and 2 future medallists
