This debate is well and truly over. Cripps on his way to a 4th AA blazer, another top 5 finish in the Brownlow, a 5th B&F AND possibly an AFLPA best captain award.

Oh Danny. I predicted this at the start of the season. You’d be piling on the excuses for Oliver when it came to crunch time moments. “Excuses for 4 years”. Firstly champ, he was pretty average for about two, then proceeded to win a Brownlow. If you also want to go by your coaches votes metric...

Don’t know what stats you’re looking at to be fair, also like how Danny has returned from his hiatus and liked your comment. Cripps leads in DE%. Cripps 75% to Oliver 61%. Cripps 19 Effective disposals compared to 15. Cripps leads ground balls, tackles, contested possessions, goals, tackles...

Pretty big game next week. Playing on neutral turf. Historically we don’t have a fantastic track record at Adelaide Oval. Onto the game though, Fremantle have really brought a strong stoppage game this season. Serong, Brayshaw and a rejuvenated Nat Fyfe is keeping them a top 5 scores from...

He’s fit as too. You see him running to way more contests. Still our best mid even though we drift him forward to play almost a key fwd role. Definitely big enough.

Another 3 vote performance by Cripps today.

That’s actually hilarious tbh

Thought so, he was quiet but it still felt he got quite a bit of the ball. Prioritised damage with his disposal over quantity, something I’d like to see more from him. Trac was phenomenal though.

What did everyone think of Oliver’s game this week?

The Adelaide mids are quite disappointing. Not sure what new ideas they’ve added. Seemed to regress On iPhone using BigFooty.com mobile app

Good to see him playing well at another club and in his proper position as an onballer. Lacks class but you don’t necessarily need that as a contested mid.

To put it simply. The Essendon Football Clubs defence is washed up. They have been for years. What do you expect when Ben McKay and Laverde are your best key backs (Ridley doesn’t play KP)

This is the first time discovering Danny does also harass others, even supporters of his own club when his point of view is questioned. Too funny.

Honestly I just hope this poll doesn’t turn out as toxic as the Cripps v Oliver poll. For me, I rated Newcombe more highly originally but after seeing Warner come out these first few rounds, he’s looking ominous with Heeney

Heeney and Warner looking ominous as a midfield duo. They still have Eroll as well

Got to respect Merrett’s massive captains performance. Has pulled a huge carry job this half of the game, similar to what I’ve seen from my captain

Knew it would be a common occurrence! Haven’t seen a grown ass man live through one player as much as Danny does with Oliver! Definitely doesn’t have the maturity of others in this poll. In fact he’s probably responded with dribble in this chat 300+ times considering this poll has over 1k...

It’s just time to end the constant negativity expressed in this poll (mostly from Danny). Cripps and Oliver with massive games this week! Will both poll high in the coaches votes. Brilliant answers from Oliver in the post match, can tell he’s turned a small corner

What games from both players this week! Exceptional

Also looks like by the pity preaching that Oliver is unfit blah blah, you’re loading up a back up plan excuse incase Cripps does finish higher in the coaches award. Can’t wait to go back to these last few posts by you if that does indeed happen. Also don’t know if you realise how football clubs...

Still being a toxic wank I see. As I said in the post above, can we just stop bagging both players. I can’t predict coaches votes either champ but from the eye test (not looking at stats) Cripps had a massive role in turning the game. Oliver was good too considering it was his first game back...

Can almost guarantee Cripps will be up there with the coaches votes. Actually played a fair bit forward against the Lions too and was massive to turn the game late. Both decent games by Cripps and Oliver, however I reckon Cripps will get the coaches votes over Oliver this round (if we’re going...

Let’s ignore the touches for a minute, you could barely see the impact. Good game but let’s stop putting down Cripps for a second, give it a rest considering most people in the afl and in this poll rate both players

Yeah, barely noticed him tbh. Not his best game but still pretty okay to get 30 touches in a return game.

Do you have anything else better to do with your day than live through a single player and post bait comments in a big footy forum? I think it’s time to look at yourself in the mirror and you might just see Clayton Oliver ain’t the only one grossly out of shape.

Hahaha mate, Danny won’t like your response. Totally disagree with him anyways on Neale. He’s a gun. However, Danny doesn’t like players being compared to Oliver, in turn - them players being labelled duds in his eyes. Cripps and Neale included. Both guns of the game, don’t really understand why...

Not even going to bother responding to Danny. Never seen someone live through a player as much as him, borderline obsession. Truth is he uses the coaches awards as his benchmark because Oliver has never won an AFLPA MVP or Brownlow. I respect your opinion @YoungRedLeg but to say he had a worse...

We all could mate, but deluded Danny only brings up the coaches to suit his Clayton Oliver agenda. Truth is, most people in this forum and the AFL landscape would choose Cripps. Not just based on football ability, but also terrific leadership to bring a club together. If you asked the question...

Good to see this poll has died down and people have come to the conclusion Cripps is the all-around better player

I won’t be responding to Dans take on this but Cripps is pretty much better in every way and is one of the best leaders in the AFL. That is why 55% of people in this poll picked Cripps
