Demons Lewis, Hogan dealt double blow by MRP

A FITNESS cloud surrounds Carlton star Patrick Cripps after the midfielder suffered a fractured jaw in Sunday's loss to Melbourne.

Demons recruit Jordan Lewis struck the dominant on-baller behind play in the last quarter, an action that has seen the former Hawk hit with a three-week ban from the Match Review Panel.

AFL.com.au understands Cripps' injury is at the minor end and will be assessed this week ahead of Sunday's clash against Essendon* at the MCG. It is understood the fracture is not displaced.

Cripps was excellent in the Blues' 22-point loss to the Dees, gathering 29 disposals (17 contested touches) and 10 clearances.

Medical reports from Carlton were used in the MRP's final penalty for Lewis, who crossed to the Dees in a shock trade at the end of last season.

More to come

Hodge and Lewis. Hawk snipers. Can't stand them.

Also, it wouldn't be an Essendon* game without us losing one of our best players beforehand...

Can we give him Murph's helmet that caused our four game "streak" last year?

He needs to borrow Levi's beard to give some structural integrity to that Jaw. It might also minimise the all important bone vibration that we track so carefully here on TC

Aye. The lucky helmet. Rumoured to have once been blessed by King Arthur himself.

I'll give you some assistance with the punching because I can't afford the fine, so we have to punch our way out.

What's the order of punching? A few drug cheats to choose from there. Spoilt for choice.

Who thinks the cheats will run out to the boos of Carlton supporters only for it to spur them on to smash us?

We won't boo (at least after the first instance) because we'll be outnumbered 10-1 by the shitstains.

It's a sad state of affairs when the most rusted on supporters in the country don't want to go.

That said, I'll probably chicken out myself

The only thing tempting me to go is being able to piss off my drug cheat* supporting mates by shouting out "Time for another round of injections" when Jab stuffs up a contest

Pretty sure you'll be invited to go outside by the AFL/Stadium employed ushers in the Yellow Jackets.

Yep, AFL policy... "It's okay being a drug cheat - be brave and hell will rain upon any opposition supporter calling you one"

At least it would get me away from hearing that wretched song at the end of the game.

I certainly would not advise this approach - kind of like taking on a team of Ivan Drago's?
