I voted Judd when this thread was started mid-2022.
Since then Cripps has won 2 Brownlow medals and taken us back to finals. If the same poll was made today, I'd have to go for Cripps. His improvement as a player and leader as he nears 30 has been incredible.

Yep, for me Juddy clearly a better player at his peak, but Crippa has put the club on his back and made us relevant again….with a little bit of help.

Judd was a stepping stone. He improved the players professionalism. Maybe even setting examples for Cripps. But Cripps leaves no stone unturned re leadership or game day improvements.

Absolutely he improved the professionalism of the players and improved the culture of the club. Crippa is setting the example all good leaders do. He hired the running coach to help him out one year, and other players are doing the same.
He, Cripps, has set the required level and the others want to get closer to it than ever.

It allows multiple selections so I've changed ged it to both.
At Carlton: clearly Cripps now. Taken us to back to finals, taken us to a prelim, dual brownlows at the club.
Career: Judd still leads, having a ridiculously high peak and having won a premiership. I think even if Cripps wins a flag with us, I'd have Judd's career slightly ahead. Win 2 flags and Cripps wins!

Judd the more dominant player, Cripps the better leader and Carlton player.

Its no slight on Crippa either, Judd's best is just out of this world. Was like watching a video game character with all stats pumped to max vs a bunch of low level characters sometimes. As Commetti once said, its "supernatural".

Judd isn't in the conversation for Greatest Blue. Cripps might be when all is said and done.

I may be wrong but I feel Judd was always about Judd yet Crippa has always been about Carlton
he bleeds Blue and we are very lucky to have him
We owe him a flag

I'll second this
WCE Judd was one of the greatest players of the modern era, combination of a mixture of exceptional qualities including footy IQ and blistering speed, generational player who could tear and break open a game apart, clearly a superstar…
CARL Judd become more of an inside/outside midfielder because of his loss of his explosive speed he unfortunately lost towards the end of his WCE career, he had to change his style…
Played some incredible footy for us and became a benchmark in professionalism and standards across levels in preparation and training of the list, which no doubt helped developed across all levels of our list during his tenure at the club…
Crippa, the country lad from WA who’s strength as a tall inside midfielder who’s natural talent and ability was to win the footy which set him apart, his vision and hands to extract and dish out the ball with precision handball to teammates was incredibly creative, it was a huge influence on our overall contested game…
Starting off his career as a inside midfielder with a few limitations on other areas of his game, he looked destined to be an outstanding inside clearance specialist with outstanding leadership qualities…
Main areas or limitations on his game was a combination of obvious concerns with his overall lack of pace, ability of his standard of field kicking, and ability to hit the scoreboard, endurance in covering the ground, more impactful defensively and offensively, over his career he actually improved all areas from a more exceptional standard, to some in knocking it out off the park…
To many of us who’ve watched him across his entire career, to develop his skills and once limitations into the the player he has become today, a champion player and leader not only of the Carlton football club, but one of the games greatest current players ever…
If ever a player deserved a premiership, top of the list…
Watching Crippa hold the cup up, I think id be in tears still at 56 years of age this year, him and all up on the podium…

It's incredible to think that if we didn't suck in 2018 & 2019 Cripps could well be a 4 time Brownlow medallist.
