    Doubt he will win the Brownlow this year. Carlton won't win enough and will allow others to play better than he will.

    Murphy and Gibbs probably played as well last night and the umps may look at them over Cripps.

    Players from bottom sides don't win Brownlows anymore

    he is a Jet though..

    is he from the same draft as Toumpas?

    Ablett in 2013?

    Also, I think Cripps was drafted in 2013. Same draft as Salem.

    Cripps is a gun, did you see the shots of him next to carey? he could easily play as a key forward and look the part

    Amazing player. Won't win the Bronwlow this year but you'd be a brave man to bet against him winning at least one in his career.

    Hopefully he stays in Vic. The WA clubs would be salivating at the thought of Cripps and Hogan in the same side.

    He's 3cm taller than Carey. He's a beast of a midfielder, with the decrease on rotations he'll look good resting in the forward line.

    Incredible stoppage player. His ability to get first hands on the footy, have composure and use it well is without peer.

    He's an ordinary kick, but it hardly matters. His size makes him unstoppable. 

    Funnily enough, he was hopeless in his debut game against the Dees at the G.  Truly hopeless.  We judge footballers quickly. 

    There are limitations on his style though.  He'll never do damage like a Fyfe, Ablett, Judd, Dangerfield or Petracca :)

    Definite gun.

    Don't throw your money away on Brownlow though. As others have noted, there are too many factors working against him.

    - Carlton wont win many games

    - Gibbs, Murphy, Kreuzer and a couple of other Blues are all capable of huge games. Votes will often be split in games they win.

    While we are talking about Carlton young guns, after pre-season and one game, I'd say Weitering is a solid chance of following Cripps to the hallowed ground of being runner-up to a Demon for the Rising Star.

    He is a gun. And I wouldn't have complained had he pipped Hogan for the Rising Star. But gee, what a quinella. If those two continue their trajectory, they will be two of the best handful of players of the next decade.

    He is a similar type of player, but Cripps is a physical beast who will be a top 5 AFL player for many years.

    One of the most underrated skills in footy is the ability to get one's hands free in a tackle in order to dish out an effective handpass. Voss is probably the best I've ever seen do it but Cripps does it as well as anyone I've seen in the time since then. Absolute superstar.

    Definitely Viney's best asset. But at Cripps' height it is incredibly dangerous.

    This site is quite useful. He's listed at $51...not sure I'd be taking a punt on him this year, but I'm sure he'll win one if Carlton can start climbing the ladder.

    I agree. From what I have seen they are very similar players.

    Different players to me.

    Cripps is a beauty but lacks leg speed, Oliver is quick off the mark and will hit the scoreboard more.

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
