can go either way. Play well, his best footy at Richmond and a. Position himself to sign a decent contract or be of some trade value as long as he doesn't want to go to the bottom team. OR he has another injury hacked year, plays a few senior games and that's the end of pick 12 2013!

Agree. The ball is fully in his court. He can sulk and sit around feeling sorry for himself or he can set out to prove he is a player and then we may see some interest in him from other clubs. He has shown nothing to date so it's his own problem if he runs in the 2nds this coming season.
Get off your arse young man and stop playing the victim. Fight for your spot in the seniors. How much do you want it!
I am no fan of Ben, but being positive on his situation, he looks as fit as he ever has, seemed to be moving quite well. I have written previously that Ben is technically a terrible runner so no amount of fitness work will change that, it would require a few months of work with a proper sprint coach who could remodel his style, which is probably not possible. FingeRs crossed he can get through preseason in good health and hopefully his footy ability will take him to where we need him to be.
Very dangerous as a Forward Pocket, HFF. Think people forget his 2015 form. Clunking marks and kicking long.
Agree his off ball efforts need to increase, but he's a very talented player with heaps of upside.

With Handbrake's game plan and with our success rate at player development, what chance Cripps would not
be the player that he has become?

If ever a picture said a million words , This is it
Markov - Determination to break through the barrier and beat anybody infront of him after just 1 preseason
Lemon - Ohh F*** Do i have to really run, This hurts too much and i should be sitting in the foward pocket why run - After 2 pre seasons
Not sure why there has been so much discussion going on about this kid's fitness level. I thought it has been very commonly known that his fitness levels aren't great. He even admits this in that letter a few weeks back.
People need to chill now. The penny has either dropped or it hasnt. But attacking him day 1 doesnt make much sense and only leads to more crap being flung his way for the whole preseason and into 2017. He is super talented and let's hope he gets his act together and changes his ways. Hard work is what it will take. He has plenty of time to build this fitness going into the 2017 season. This is pretty much his last chance to make an impression and continue his career in the AFL.
