Profile

Cripps came out blazing with 34 touches in his first ever VFL game and was promoted to the senior team the following week where he gathered 17 disposals and 61 DT. His next game for Carlton was disappointing and he was dropped before breaking his leg a few weeks later. It took him a while to get back to fitness but Patrick finished the VFL season off well, being named in the best for 4 of the last 5 games. He seems well placed to increase his game tally in 2015 and improve his average. Having signed a 2 year contract extension the former first round draft pick could be a potential cow next year but I don't think his scoring will be too eye catching.

Pros - Will benefit from another pre season, decent VFL numbers

Cons - Poor kick/handball ratio, gives away plenty of free kicks, vests


Prediction - 53-57

Nice write-up.
I expect the likes of Cripps, Menzel, Buckley and Docherty will see plenty of minutes this year
A good size and players such as Cripps and Acres could very well be relevant considering Fantasy's rookie pricing

Almost definitely going to be in my team I think ;)
