Really robbed Kennedy from the midfield to spend more time as a forward.
He is a good forward.
I liked last weeks main midfield group Kennedy, Walsh, Dow.
Crippa will start Centre no doubt. He has to play a hard contested game and win contested ball.
Then give it off quickly to Dow or Walsh.
Against NM they won CC 22-9
DeKoning vs Marshall and Ryder. Poor bastard. Can bet the young skinny fella wont stop trying.
He's had to face OBrien, Darcy, Blicav, Grundy, Goldstein and this week 2 big boys.
Cripps has to ruck too. Jack will be eaten alive by Ryder.
This is all about learning for tdk and jsos , we aren’t playing for anyting except rd 23
So cripps doesn’t Ruck at all , that’s all we need to see , cripps going down
Wake up ,
Cripps is not a protected species. He is bigger and stronger than Jsos.
If he's playing injured, he shouldn't be playing.
Wake up and stop the excuses.
Cripps job is as the bull doing the tough stuff. He lacks finnesse. Has no left foot.
he made his reputation for clearances. Use to get 20 a game. hard ball gets, not soft ball gets.
Conditional commitment is an issue with our leaders. I don't want conditional players.
I want tough players like Cunington was towards Cripps when they contested.
Cunington brushed Cripps aside with what seemed to me with ease. My eyes popped.
Happened last week in a marking contest against Pies, Cripps against a smaller player.
Swans captain Kennedy has played 270 games over 13 years and he's still truckin'.
Plays the hardest role in the team doing the heavy lifting. When its his turn to ruck, he does it.
Swans haven't protected him. He, like the rest of the Swans are prepared to play a physical collission game week in week out.
No wonder we are soft as candy. It starts from the top. He's a captain and he has to lead the charge when its his turn.
Harden the @#$%&! up.
