I like Cripps.  He's everything you'd want in a mid fielder.  He tackles, he doesn't fumble, he can take a decent over head mark and he can kick goals.  He played a great game last night and it's not his fault he was out there.  I'm pleased we beat them with him in the team.

And another one with virtually no publicity - I believe Jack Martin was “medical subbed off” last week. I maybe wrong but I thought  that meant a weeks rest? He shouldn’t have been playing either?

Yeah, this rule needs an overhaul.

Perhaps we should just do away with it, and instead have a system where clubs are granted extra interchanges for losing players to injury (dependent on when in the game it occurs). Keeps the available players fresher, and can’t be tampered with so obviously.

You can’t have fresh players available to come into a game late. It’s asking to be corrupted.

Ah Chee is set to miss another week due to the concussion he received, but my main concern is that the Blues / Pies game is a sellout.

AFL got what they wanted.

Patrick Cripps getting off last week was the real sellout.

Carlton collingwood at MCG  listed as a sellout on tiketek.  its only Tuesday ffs.

presumably only MCC seats + standing room available.

could they give 100k a nudge.

Marcus Adams also to miss.

Haha who'd have thought the afl and all of their policies were driven by money.

Is it because of the 12 day rule  Aug 7 to 19 or his concussion is serious. AFL is a joke. Cripps misses no games. All about ticket sales. Corruption.   

Watch the dogs player get 3 weeks at the tribunal now because the afl cares about player health ..

These guys think we're all stupid.

Are you talking about Cordy? He was cleared by the tribunal.

It really was, he could have refused to appeal and take his rightful whack...he could have done the right thing.

...but I'm also happy we beat them with him in.

Yes Cordy, so they cleared him... So the chook raffle came up with a free pass again.

Damned if you suspend and damned if you don't, hey Dan?

You know something? You're dead right. He could have made a massive statement by respecting the decision and supporting the narrative that head high contact like that is not on.

At the end of the day though finals was at stake, they were going to throw everything at it.
