If Cripps is good enough, he'll one day beat Clarry in the coaches award.

Carlton have got arguably the best forward line in the league with Curnow and McKay. What a luxury. Meanwhile Melbourne is carrying Ben Brown and Tom McDonald as our key forwards.
We literally have Plowman and Obrien on our list. Thats an anchor not even GAJ would be able to overcome.

haha true. I don't disagree. Wasn't Obrien subbed on last night for a quarter.? And boy gee, he did a lot of damage in that time. lol. but yeah, I'd trade you Brown for Plowman :) You guys were playing top 4 footy at the end of last season though. And that was without Walsh.

Nobody gives a shit about the coaches award mate.

Seriously.

Pretty sure he beat Oliver in the coaches award in 2018 & 2019 ?
 
Both going to be fantastic players but if I could bring one of them to the Lions I'd go for Clayton Oliver, IMO he's got quicker and more reliable disposal by hand in close, he has such great vision when surrounded in a contest.
Wondering if you still feel this way mate? I'd have Cripps over Oliver any day of the week now. I think this post was actually before he tore us apart and beat us almost single handedly.

That quote of mine was nearly 5 years ago, both in peak form I would probably take Cripps right now but Oliver is a hell of a player as well.

I wasn't having a go or anything just curious if you time had changed your opinion. I would love to have either of them. Cripps being a WA boy might make me a bit bias. I do think Cripps is a good leader on top of his ability.

Oliver has been a significant better player the last 3 years. the coaches have agreed with this. As have the AA selectors.

Genuinely thought that was one of the sh*tter performances from Clarry up until the blackout. Felt like he turned the ball over nearly every time he kicked it and got absolutely obliterated at stoppages despite Grundy dominating hitouts.

But thats sorta how Clarry rolls. Even when he's sh*t he still fills up the stats sheet like no other regardless of if he's having an influential game or not.

That's somewhat the argument these days, Cripps has the 10/10 ceiling but a 6/10 floor. Clarry has a 9 ceiling but an 8 floor. Both guns.
