Why was Cripps dropped?
Does anyone know the reasoning behind Cripps' absence in recent weeks? I don't recall him getting injured and he had a really good knack for kicking goals.
PS - watching the footy at the moment and I just have to say that Harry Taylor is the most overrated player in the AFL. One good game against an injured Riewoldt in a GF and all of a sudden he's described as one of the league's "premier" backman... rubbish

I still can't believe the ball bounced over Jamie Shanahan's head into Darren Jarman's lap 4 times in one half of footy... kills me...

Had a operation with "Compartment Syndrome" of the calf muscle said it was a season ending injury, but reported at the start of the week he has rehabbed better than expected and could be back before season end.BringBackLuke wrote:Does anyone know the reasoning behind Cripps' absence in recent weeks?

no wonder you didn't know what happened to Cripps. Doubt you follow
the saints.
First memories of the footy are at Moorabbin of a bloke called Jeff Hilton with a rockstar mullet wearing no.52 (possibly no.58) in the reserves.
Back then I used to think Danny Craven and Brett Bowie were the same person.
If you want any further evidence of my Saints fandom, I'm more than happy to write a few paragraphs on the virtues of Gordon Fode.
As for Bally - he's a friend, so of course I'd love him back at the club... hate seeing him in the Pies colours - it still doesn't look right.

Luke's intelligence is such that he's never going to have an issue earning money post-football

And yet you were so scared by the events two years later, when you were 6!
By the way St. Kilda last played a Moorabbin in 1992. If you're now twenty then you were 1 or 2 tops when we last played there.
How about entertaining us with your recollection of Arctic Park instead.

already asked my question BUT why Collingwood... and guessing one question will always lead to another- why could he not work it out...BringBackLuke wrote:The gamesaintbrat wrote:can you ask him the simple question then- was it the money or the game?BringBackLuke wrote:As for Bally - he's a friend, so of course I'd love him back at the club... hate seeing him in the Pies colours - it still doesn't look right.

And I was at that last game in 1992 - I was on the ground when they honored each team member who played that day
And let's look at this objectively - I'd have to be a pretty sad person to spend my Sunday morning trying to fool a forum into thinking I go for a particular footy team
As for Arctic Park - forget what year it was, but I do recall a rather strange day when the wind changed mid-game so Melbourne had a howling gale for 3 quarters

Back to LB. I find it VERY difficult to believe money didn't come into it. I believe he was poorly advised by his Manager and Father. But gosh, this subject has been done to death.

One of the oddest comments I've read on here in a while. How can you say he was "poorly advised" to go to the Pies? How could his decision worked out any better?St Lenny wrote:Anyone new is always accused of being a troll, its a right of passage.BringBackLuke wrote:The gamesaintbrat wrote:can you ask him the simple question then- was it the money or the game?BringBackLuke wrote:As for Bally - he's a friend, so of course I'd love him back at the club... hate seeing him in the Pies colours - it still doesn't look right.
