[7/11]

Cripps is a worry, 100+ or hes gone

Been up against two pretty strong midfields the first two rounds. I'd be remiss to sell him before he plays Freo and GC the next two weeks.

 

[Slammer]

What’s wrong with Grundy? He looks a shell of the player he can be

I think he is going a lot better than last week.

Many seem to focus on the sharked hitouts / weaker midfield in terms of HTA but where he has cratered has been in terms of his work at ground level around the ground.
Down in disposals, tackles, marks, pretty much everything.
Hope it can turn, starting to get into it 🤷‍♂️

Grundy on 23 after even after a pretty rough 80% of the first quarter. Will be fun if he decides to get it together.

Grundy seems to be winning the hit outs but they all getting sharked.

Same as last week. He had 20 more hitouts than English and Martin combined but scored 20 points less than each of them

He will probably go 150+ now .. 😂🤪

Cripps looks cooked as soon the ball leaves the contest. Not chasing defensively and isn't a good kick so he's really going to have to dominate clearances and tackles to score as people expect.

Very concerning for owners because he's poor against non-feline teams and they don't face another feline side until after the bye

B Grundy:
Q1: 6/15 HTA

Very catty.

Carlton getting destroyed out of the middle

 

[Grundogging]

Half of the problem with Grundy is our mids - they make what looks like minimal effort to actually get to his feet to rove the tap, while a lot olf the time the three Carlton mids are sitting right there waiting to raffle it.

Grundy was still unlucky not to get at least another 2-3 HTA's there in the first quarter due to stupid fumbles under no pressure or a stupid handball direct to the opposition.

Cripps however is the one I'm really worried about - he looks totally coked already? Maybe the reported correction to put some of the weight he took off for last year back on for this year combined with a shorter pre-season are both conspiring against him.

Has Cripps been up to no good before the game, lol

 

[GrainFedBeef]

That is the Grundy we have been waiting for, chase, tackle Cripps, dispossessed and contested handball out to a teammate.

 

[Ormos]

So far Trading in Walsh bad idea. But loving degoey so far

 

[Grundogging]

Now I'm officially worried about Cripps if he's going to get beaten for speed and strength in a contested ball situation by a stumbling Grundy.

 

[Peter56]

What a bounce for goal

 

[Gruffles]

Pretty sure I am trading Cripps on Monday...
Glad I didn't VC him, last minute gut call not too.

 

[Shannon]

So far Trading in Walsh bad idea. But loving degoey so far

Walsh has been burned so many times by his teammates, he has run to good positions & then ignored even though he was free.

Cripps is struggling after the clearance, seems the game is too fast for him now with the new rules.

 

[The Underdogs]

Cripps can get in the bin, picked him last year and for some reason I thought I’d go again 🤡

 

[Zimmer]

However he looks, at least Grundy is on course for a tonne. Went Cripps VC. Damn.

 

[Grundogging]

Has Cripps been up to no good before the game, lol

I said he looks cooked, not baked. There's a difference.

 

[Santoz]

Cripps started a little slow, but I wouldn't be throwing him out just yet.

As the game slows it'll suit him.

 

[madmunza]

The sooner I get all Carlton players out of my team the better
