And, tbh, do you think Cripps would only consider those factors in where he decides to live?
Maybe he'd just really love to play alongside his mate Nathan?

Mitchell was from Victoria anyway, so that’s not really an actual example. Contrary to your point, here’s the list of players I can think of who returned to Perth:

That’s all from the the past 5 seasons alone, and twice as many examples as you listed. So that “established fact” is rare, with only O’Meara really wanting to go to Hawthorn for reasons other than money.
In regards to his girlfriend, I’m only speaking from my own experience, as I mentioned before, I know someone with the condition.
Maybe you should visit Perth at some point, because, as it stands, you’re completely judging a place you’ve never been to yourself. And he would get the same experience here, because he’s an AFL footballer. He’d have the exact same experience over here, just with, probably, more people swarming him, as we’re a two team town.
And, tbh, do you think Cripps would only consider those factors in where he decides to live?
And unless you're related to the man himself, I'd suggest you really don't know for sure what he's thinking.
The well documented challenges his partner has might mean they see Perth as a good long-term destination to start a family for example.
I'd think he's more likely to stay than leave, but there's plenty of reasons he'd consider a move West.
Nothing's stopping him starting a family in Melbourne and then moving back at a later date.
Again, not much substance at all to those reasons, and there's also no guarantee he even stays with his partner in the long term.
I doubt Langdon, Conca, Matera, Acres and Colyer had clubs lining for them, so it's not a surprise they opted to return home with little else on offer. I'd also remove Hogan since he left Freo, so home clearly wasn't the determining factor for him.Mitchell was from Victoria anyway, so that’s not really an actual example. Contrary to your point, here’s the list of players I can think of who returned to Perth:

That’s all from the the past 5 seasons alone, and twice as many examples as you listed. So that “established fact” is rare, with only O’Meara really wanting to go to Hawthorn for reasons other than money.
In regards to his girlfriend, I’m only speaking from my own experience, as I mentioned before, I know someone with the condition.
Maybe you should visit Perth at some point, because, as it stands, you’re completely judging a place you’ve never been to yourself. And he would get the same experience here, because he’s an AFL footballer. He’d have the exact same experience over here, just with, probably, more people swarming him, as we’re a two team town.
And, tbh, do you think Cripps would only consider those factors in where he decides to live?
I mean, there's about as much substance as there is to your definitive statement as to him only moving for on-field success.
Look, this is all besides the point. Just actually consider your words before you blankly say that Perth isn’t a good place for young people. As if night clubs and utilities in the CBD is all that’s taken into consideration.
I've read some pretty strange stuff on here, but that's X-Files type weird.carrots on hamburgers
OK mate, good chat.
And even more to leave.So he'd be commading about $1.2 per year to stay at Carlton surely? Based on market value of some newer team mates.
And even more to leave.

For some bizzare reason, we never chase players publicly. Ever
Cripps is the captain of Carlton and has been there through the worst times but would have been paid extremely well during this period
He looks like an honorable young man tat will stay loyal and lead that football club through the better times infront of them now.
He would want nothing more than emulate Richmond captain and win a premiership with the club he helped build
Because the WA media don’t make bs rumors about West Coast. Ever.A headline you wont see in 2021:
"Eagles table huge offer to lure Patrick Cripps back to the west!"
For some bizzare reason, we never chase players publicly. Ever
Both can be true.Actually it’s Cripps’ opponents who’s bodies are banged up.
Tim Kelly ?
This is so funny...A headline you wont see in 2021:
"Eagles table huge offer to lure Patrick Cripps back to the west!"
For some bizzare reason, we never chase players publicly. Ever
...and waiting for it to be about Richmond in 5...4...3..This is so funny...
Tim Kelly aside, who was the last established star to request a trade back to WA?
