Certified Legendary Thread Patrick Cripps and Ah Chee

[Worm4]

We have owned your rabble club for the better part of 2 decades.

Nice selective timespan
Collingwood have been Carltons bitches in grand finals for the best part of 100 years.

 

[JustaBattler]

Until its one of your players who gets concussed and misses a week

trying to milk a free which he never got by running across the contest - what a ducker

 

[T2B_]

What an example this sends to every kid playing the sport and moreso to the cautious mothers who are contemplating on not letting her child play the game .

 

[Red Black and Blue]

That is genuinely nauseating.

Never should protect the head be uttered by an AFL official again.

Actually you are wrong it is over 100 years the last time they beat Carlton in a GF was 1910.

 

[theyellowsash]

Maybe but the tears and melts from opposition sooks tonight have been well worth it!!!

lets see if you think the same if someone 'attempts to contest the ball' this week against cripps

 

[Greggy]

We didn't win.
It shouldn't have even gone this far.
Blame the afl if you are unhappy

Fair enough you didn’t win

 

[JyeDye]

I'm claiming this victory. I was on the front lines putting in work since day one to get this one done. I was bullshitting so hard I barely believed myself. All you doubting my arguments. I was doubting myself. But we got it done baby. Lets go Cripps.

 

[adammania9]

You need to have another look

I have champ

 

[JackFlash]

In 2022 hey? Want to revisit round 1 2022 then?

Whatever it is, the AFL have confused us all again. Carlton have no chance of winning either one of their final two games without Cripps, they must win one to make the 8. They now at least have a chance and the Brownlow has just become more interesting.

 

[HereComesJuddy]

New precedent here, head is open slather now, just make it look like you’re trying to mark a handball and you’ll be in the clear. Feel for Achee, no justice.

Did you feel for Shiel back in 2017?

 

[JustaBattler]

Cripps is one of the cleanest and fairest players in the competition - unlike your bunch of trained thugs- 'playing on the edge' or some BS term Hardwick has paraded around for years...and unlike your snipers he goes in hard and fair

 

[Stamos]

This is ******* wild. Based on this result that has come out, every team should be appealing to the highest degree. To me this, Cripps incident could be graded the same as the below



Cripps never put his arms up to contest the ball and turned his body for contact when he saw that he wasn't going to make it. Ah Chee gets flattened and a concussion. No idea how this one got off based on the other incidents this year.

You think Cameron was going for the ball with his elbow?

gets a week for a tackle that ‘had the potential’ to cause injury.

Cripps chose to bump, and actually did cause injury. Zero weeks.

How does this work?

 

[King Cripps]

It will be interesting to hear the reasons.

Willie Rioli

We have owned your rabble club for the better part of 2 decades.

and we have owned your rabble the previous 10 decades before that
So what

 

[SplintWhisky]

So the conclusion is that you are still allowed one millisecond to make the decision to leap for the ball in a contest?

Or are you expected to get a notepad out onfield, take measurements, check the weight & height of all players around, their potential speed to get to the ball and then deliberate on whether to contest?

I see this as similar to the Rioli incident, the only difference is that the Brisbane player Ah Chee was smaller than Rowell.

Cripps, some will argue, should have been aware in one millisecond of his size.

If Cripps tucked his arm in and clearly “chose to bump” with the pointy part of his shoulder then the decision would have justified an infraction.

I would agree that Cripps should of got off if he just (I have no other way to describe it sorry) smothered Ah Chee. Like landed on him with his arms out like a star. Watching the slow-mo you never see Cripps out stretch his hands to grab the ball. He kept them in tight then started to turn for contact as Ah Chee grabbed the ball.

Well then you need to take another one

Clearly WC don't give a S*it - their season is done.

 

[carlton_99]

He may have been going for the ball but players have a duty of care to not hit someone in the head whilst not touching the ball. Players have been suspended in the past for not tackling softly as they are bigger than the opponent

So what do you want a player to do in that position? Don't go for the ball cause it's an aerial contest and they need to jump to get the ball so they may accidently hit someone. It's a ridiculous ask of players to think of all that in the seconds they have to react.

Rioli was a marking contest and he hit the ball

 

[Hayes4PM]

Wonder if the AFL is happy with how this looks for them

Absolutely ****in' not, even if this was the result they preferred (Cripps free to play) these shenanigans have made their whole system look a flimsy house of cards. Take one decent look at their guidelines and you can see the contradictions and vagueness sets them up for this time and again.

[SplintWhisky]

You think Cameron was going for the ball with his elbow?

You think Cripps was going for the ball with his Shoulder? Watch the Slow-mo, Cameron leads with the elbow as soon as it is clear he can't contest the ball. Cripps does the same but with his shoulder.

 

[HereComesJuddy]

Didn't need to out stretch his arms. The ball was about to land in his hands

well it must be time to go see an optometrist then.
