Cripps’ form slump​

Carlton coach Michael Voss says there is nothing wrong with his captain, Patrick Cripps.

“Yes, he is,” Voss responded when asked if Cripps was currently fully fit.

“Sometimes players get out of form. Sometimes they do.

“He’ll be okay. He’s completely fine, guys. Sometimes you lose a bit of form and he’s running through a little bit of that and there’s been a couple of players that have been in the same boat. So he’s got a little challenge ahead of him to be able to rectify it and I’ll back that man in.”

At half-time against Essendon, Cripps had registered 17 SuperCoach ranking points, making him the fifth-lowest ranked player on the ground.

He lifted a little after that but finished with just 19 disposals and no effective kicks.

It was not a one-off, either.

Over his past six games, Cripps has averaged 75.7 ranking points – all of which Carlton has lost.

During his Brownlow Medal year in 2022, he averaged 111 ranking points across his 21 games.

His scoreboard impact has also dried up, with average score involvements dropping from 6.7 to 6.2.

Cripps averaged a goal a game last season but has managed just one major from his 13 games this season.

Carlton has far more problems than Cripps and his form, but there’s no doubt he is critically important to his side’s success – and the statistics show that.

In the Blues’ four wins this year, Cripps has averaged 120 ranking points.

In the side’s eight losses, the captain has averaged 83 ranking points.
