Very disappointing but as the article says it will give him time to bulk up.
Also means an extra spot for a Ledger/Winmar/Heyne and we won't have to demote a player if Gardi ever comes back from the LTI

In the scheme of things this might not be so bad. After seeing him in person playing for Sandy I thought there was no way his body could stand up to the physical pressure of AFL footy, and this means he's had a taste and can now spend the next 6 months in the gym, hopefully adding 5-6kgs and building some serious core strength. It will also allow him to have a more steady, controlled regime which would help him with learning how to regularly manage his diabetes.
It would have been good to see him play another 6-8 games this season, but I think in a couple of years time he'll be a better player for this injury.

agree with what has mostly been said,
strange injury to not only be sidelined for the year but also need to go under the knife. Can we ever get a gun midfielder draftee who is not struck down by injury?
Hopefully he is on a good program and adds strength to his core

Not necessarily a bad thing!
Cripps has had a taste of Footy, and knows he can make it.
In the 9 months between now and the NAB Cup, he, and the club, can learn the best way to put weight on, and manage his diabetes.
His out also provides more opportunity. Heyne, Ledger, Crocker and Smith could all get more of a run at senior footy, while if the club chooses to put him on LTI, Fergo, Curren or Andreoli could get a run too.

Absolutely shattering news, one of the few highlights of our season to date.
Not sure you can have 3 on the LTI list, but this makes sense for the Tommy Walsh elevation though. Gardiner will come off in next few weeks and Cripps onto the list and both Archer & Walsh can stay up for the year.
According to the his profile on Saints site he is listed as 73kg. Thats 2kg down on when he was drafted so this gives him good chance to get up bit more weight onto him

Yeah, as disappointing as this news is let's make a positive out of it.ÂEastern wrote:I think the club is doing the right thing by getting him in and getting it fixed NOW. Lets hope that he can have an extended pre-season and is jumping out of his skin in the lead up to season 2012 !!
Cripps, as talented as he is, is a lightly built kid who has barely had time to adjust to his recently diagnosed diabetes. In any other year he would be developing through the VFL but circumstances have seem him playing with the big boys.
And as exciting as he has been, his contributions so far have mainly been short cameos involving a few dribbling goals.
Let's take this opportunity to get his injury right, adjust further to his ongoing illness demands and to put some muscle on that slight frame.
Cripps in 2012 to be even more exciting than Cripps in 2011.

Wish him well and for a full recovery.
