It is an indictment on players like Setterfield/Kennedy/Dow - that they aren't rated high enough based on their actual efforts - to substitute for a very sore Cripps. Levi / Williams / Saad have all been played very sore - so obvious to me why the team hit the wall by quarter3/4 every game and why we got smashed by the doggies in midfield last week.
If fingers need pointing it is at the plethora of so-called inside mids who play like puppies in VFL but still feel entitled to starting spots as on ballers - that is where the problem always has been - a bunch o skinny runts with blow average appetites for the hardball and an inability to run both ways for 4 quarters.

If this is true which would explain a lot I think it shows the desire Cripps has to play for Carlton. Would be very easy not to play with this injury and my guess would be that it’s Cripps wanting to play not the club forcing him too

Teague needs wins?
Casboult flattening him in a marking contest in the 2nd quarter couldn't have helped him.
While the injury may not get worse with him playing, I doubt it is going to get better. Give him 3-4 weeks off and have him closer to full capacity

Club denies it.

What a circus the (footy) world is....
Club denies it.

the cynic in me is starting to get very cynical..... not playing well, playing with some sort of injury clearly, contract up for negotiation, value dropping by the week.......
could the Cripps camp have leaked this and the club doesn't want it known?
this could get very messy very soon....alarm bells going off everywhere

My original comment included a disclaimer that injury could be playing a part. I was merely vocalising some of my observations (something that tends to get frowned upon around here if it doesn't fall in line with the group think). I'm not fussed about being right or wrong, just thinking out loud. In my comment that you quoted here, I didn't even need to refer back to my previous comments, but I was happy to admit a mistake.
"Obscure my own effort"? I was highlighting it and falling on my sword.
You need to stop appointing yourself as the doyen of all that is right or wrong around here. You don't need to call people out on pedantic bullshit.

I actually think I believe the report over Teague.
Stevie Wonder can see that Cripps can’t move freely

Crack in a transverse process? Not sure what other vertebrae fractures allow you to continue playing.

Give the poor bloke a rest. He can barely run at the moment. We're going to run him into the bloody ground.

Yep.
Although common sense and our footy club don't really go hand in hand.

It's likely there are multiple scenarios/agendas at play here, especially if player managers are in the mix. None of them are productive. I just hope it doesn't get messier, but that would be the Carlton way...
His 15 touches in a game we should have won and coughed up a 5 goal lead was the opposite of exciting for the fans

*Clearly pouring outside.*I got my info from David Teague.
Teague: I'm not aware of any rain at this point in time.
