Patrick Cripps

[Middymalt 244]

Has to be the best young player in the game, what a superstar can he win a brownlow in his second season has that been done before I'm off to tab at the G tomorrow to whack $200 on him Iv never seen a player keep his feet like that the blues scored gold there.

[Gorgoroth 13,117]

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.

Ok he's a great player daisy did you see him along side Carey his a once in a generation player does anyone know his brownlow odds ???

[Curry & Beer 5,444]

I prefer Hogan, Brayshaw, Oliver, Petracca and Weideman :D

[Sir Why You Little 37,239]

Players from bottom sides don't win Brownlows anymore

he is a Jet though..

is he from the same draft as Toumpas?

Not sure but he was around pick 13

Ablett in 2013?

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

Oliver has the potential to match him.

Big call

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

[Je Roos Salem 661]

Very quickly becoming one of if not THE best player in the league. He's a freakier version of Pendlebury

[P-man 13,366]

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

[Little Goffy 14,664]

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.

[Forest Demon 4,681]

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.

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

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

[Bang Bang Bang 5,839]

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.

Different players to me.

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