Have you seen the strapping on his entire left leg Harks.

The Port game had us with 10 players with legs taped up, when I counted.
Just part of the uniform for us.

It's really says a lot about the extreme lack of depth at our club that senior players on one leg are preferred to full fit players running around in the VFL.The Port game had us with 10 players with legs taped up, when I counted.

Bont ahead until Cripps learns how to convert from 30 out
Crippa when he gets playing with genuine anger and intent like that last quarter is something to behold.One of his clearences in the last qrt was just unbelievable to watch. Just charged like a bull , roved the ruck tap, one grab and then a quick dish off to gibbs whilst falling forward.

As he matures and gets more used to the attention he receives (and hopefully less injured, because he definitely hasn't been motoring as well), gets stronger and ever more used to that body of his that shot up in centimeters so quickly, he's going to make opposition teams crap themselves. Mark my words.
agreed!The Bont is currently on track to be the best player in the league in 18 months time or so, i don't see how any fair minded footy fan could honestly say Cripps is better than him (with the greatest respect to Paddy who i revere)

Ssshhhhhhh!
Can the bont go third man up in the ruck and hit it straight to opposition players like our boy cripps though?
I think not
so can KruezerNo, but Gibbs can

Bonts is a bit like Mitchell they will shine if no one tags them.
How will Bonts go under the spotlight of finals footy when its a more contested one vs one game style.
24 disposals (half of them contested), five inside 50s and seven clearances in his only final to date. Was our best player in that game.
That sounds like Cripps' second half last week24 disposals (half of them contested), five inside 50s and seven clearances in his only final to date. Was our best player in that game.

Was that the one where he sat priddis on his arse as he handballed?One of his clearences in the last qrt was just unbelievable to watch. Just charged like a bull , roved the ruck tap, one grab and then a quick dish off to gibbs whilst falling forward.

Bont is a contested ball beast. I think there was an article in the herald sun earlier in the year that said he won the third largest percentage of contested situations he was involved in (only behind Ablett and Martin at the time).He is largely a silky player who hits the scoreboard and impacts games without being a contested ball beast.
Bont is tagged regularly, and also regularly embarrasses his tagger.I'm calling bulldust on the Bont being a better overall player than Cripps, simply due to the Bont rarely being tagged, of course a player of his calibre will get off the leash when he is given room to move. actually cannot remember Bonti being sat on in the same fashion as opposition sides do Cripps.
Just quietly I have also seen Cripps break and then embarrass his tagger eg. Bernie Vince late last year
At the same age, Tom Liberatore led the league for average clearances and was third for average contested possessions in 2013- pretty similar to Cripps this year. Libba started that year with 33 games to his name, so only 10 more than Cripps.Has there ever been a player come in and dominate contested ball the way he does at this age and with this few games under his belt? I think not.
I would've thought that getting less of a midfield chop out helps Cripps to get more clearances, because he is present at far more stoppages. Bont can't win the centre clearance when he is playing forward. This was what allowed Liberatore to be the best clearance player in the league in 2013. He was at the vast majority of stoppages, so he had more clearances. In our current team, he gets a lot less clearances because he gets a chop out.Cripps only dreams about getting the midfield chop out that Bonts enjoys, yet he is still a clearance beast.
It's no grand final, but if you're looking for late in a close game, do you mean kind of like number 5 in this video?Picture this.. scores are tied in a grand final with only a few minutes to go. Who do you bank on ripping the ball out of a pack, getting there hands high and hand balling to a teammates advantage, setting them up in space to drive the ball into the 50?
