Leigh Matthews last year - 'Carlton co-captain Patrick Cripps has “aged badly” and “become a journeyman” in the space of two years, according to the AFL legend'


Here's to you Leigh ...

A big UP YOURS!

I'm gonna give a little shout out to the egregious one Gerard Whately here.

On SEN over the summer, there were a number of callers - mainly Carlton supporters - and others in the media like Matthews suggesting that Crippa was broken. I remember his words were "anyone who thinks that Cripps won't get back to his best has got rocks in their head".

I’m so proud of you, Crippa. We all are. Unbelievable stuff. Like he basically rucked in a close to a third of the games and sacrificed his own output/role, and still has won it. Absolute champion.

 

[Korn]

Carlton... P Cripps

What a great weekend.

I give you Matt Rendell

Collingwood's 'stuff up' overlooking Cripps led to change

Decorated recruiter Matthew Rendell says the Pies "stuffed up'' by missing Carlton gun Patrick Cripps and it led to change.

www.theage.com.au

"The lesson learned out of the whole thing was Cripps at 13," Rendell said. "Great kid, great interview, great clearance ... but basically didn't run outside the square.

"Then he goes for testing at the combine and runs an 11 beep. Jesus, I could run an 11 beep. So I've gone, 'This bloke is going to be a midfielder on an 11 beep?' Ain't going to happen."

Having a drink and just got the news

the first Home grown blue in our lifetime I think

Well done captain, love it

All respect to Diesel and Juddman

Loved the shoutout Crippa gave to his finance Mon, clearly those two are madly in love, and she looked amazing tonight too.

Maybe this is recency bias, but this does seem more enjoyable and memorable brownlow win for us than Juddy (Eddie Redface aside)

Maybe cause he was a player we drafted and developed on our own.
Been a while since we had a 'home grown' brownlow winner.

Yeah and for as great a player Juddy was, isn't the easiest of blokes to warm to.

 

[Thrawn]

Wow, can't believe it! Thought him being quiet in the 2nd half of the year would've cost him, but so happy for him! Something to finish off on a positive note for us this year!

Congrats Cripps, and I hope this elevates you to new heights next year!

 

[Blue1980]

"I'm going to be sober this time next year, that's my goal"

Indicates his goal is Grand Final/Premiership

Club never sets this standard outwardly, but Cripps just let us all know that's the goal he's driving his players towards. Good to see

Congratulations Patrick Cripps, a thoroughly deserving Brownlow Medallist. And a great Carlton man. I love you

We hope he means that, or maybe hes just going to quit alcohol.

Huge year Crippa!

Effectively played 2 games less than Neale and Miller. Injured in Q1 in the GC game and missed the following week. He won the Brownlow from 20 games- huge, huge effort. He also had to rove to an inexperienced ruck (who lost more hit outs than he won) once Pittonet went down with injury.

He kicked 20 goals this year with an average of a goal a game. Both Neale and Miller averaged 0.4 goals a game. Put that in perspective, he kicked 1 more goal than Petracca this year who spends more time forward than Cripps and is considered the best mid-fwd in the game. He has the most impact on a game out of any midfielder in the competition and is a massively worthy winner. Had we won more games in the past he’d have another Brownlow.

Enjoy opposition supporters saying he’s not worthy because of the suspension being overturned. That’s absolutely gold and makes it even more enjoyable.

Also for half the season had to sacrifice his own game to help out TDK in the ruck. When Pitt was back he came roaring back to his best.

 

[athensblue]

Not sure if he got votes in last 2 games

But if he did gotta thank our legal team

Go blues

Great guy Crippa and great for him

He has carried the club on his shoulders since he joined almost

is now only 25 Brownlow votes behind Craig Bradley for top 1st spot in our clubs history. He might shoot passed that next year, definitely in 2024.

I talk really well with a bunch of booze down my throat.

You talk well or just talk a lot?...I just talk a lot after booze

 

[Freezin]

Congrats to Cripps and the CFC....also huge congrats to the midwest town of Northampton, amazing to think of the quality footballers to come out of the place....population of under 1000.

 

[athensblue]

Just saw the last 3 rounds of the count

He is all class

Was great that he hugged current Blues cream and then the legend himself on the way to accept

Another blues fan in ollie there to greet him

Very happy for Crippa and Vossie was a proud man as well, as we all should be

A great captain, best we've had since Kerna

Go Blues
