Patrick Cripps?

[DC13]

Just been looking at some of the stats from NAB etc. and he looks like a very handy player, question is will he get games, any carlton fans got any views of his chances? Carlton have Judd and Carrazzo out early so it might allow someone like cripps to get a run but im not too sure. In the NAB games he didn't get a huge run which is a little concerning but what he did in that time on ground was pretty good. In game 1 he had 12 possessions (7 contested) and 3 clearances in 46% game time. In game 2 he had 14 possessions (7 contested), 3 clearances and 6 tackles in 46% game. Both of these aren't bad numbers for a rookie playing less than half a game! My concern is however that in both he only played 46% which isn't a lot for someone if they were looking at playing him in the season proper unless he would be a sub candidate? Thoughts?

Im a carlton supporter and follow them very closely. Dont think he will start the year in the runs and if he does he will get the vest. He can accumulate the ball but his endurance is still a bit below par and thus if he does play will be the sub. I dont however think he will start the year off in the 1's but may play a few games later on in the year. Better options out there

If he plays I am fairly certain he will be the sub. Better options.
