Paedophile defence attorneys are likely better people than player managers.......

Defence attorneys who happen to be paedophiles?

Or the defence attorneys of paedophiles whom have other careers?

Harley should have got mark of the year as well. They couldn't let the pies go home empty handed.

Bobby Hill's mark was the best of the year by far.

Heeney's finals mark and Elliot's would fight it out for 2nd and 3rd.

Harley doesn't make the top 4 this year with his mark.

Watching Cripps' compiled highlights for the year and I think it's worth noting that there is nearly no skill where Cripps is better than Reid.
Cripps tends to favour the handball in congestion because he doesn't get separation that Reid (or a Judd or Dangerfield-like player) does. Reid might do well to utilise the releasing handball more, however, our midfield is obviously less dynamic than Carlton's midfield and they'll really need to practice running to the right spots for Reid to make best use of his explosiveness around the contest.
Cripps is excellent at breaking tackles due to his immense size and the velocity he can build up for his size, but that attribute is Reid's bread and butter.
When Cripps kicks he is a neat and accurate kick but is not a risk taker by any stretch.
Cripps is a fantastic and dependable contested mark but he is not as dynamic as Reid is (and presumably will continue to be).
Cripps consistently hits the scoreboard but that's something I think will develop with Reid should we improve our other midfielders (ala what Reid demonstrated vs Fremantle or Geelong in the last round).
What Cripps does have that Reid lacks is consistent repeat efforts. Cripps has very good plays maybe a dozen+ times a game, virtually every single game. Reid is capable of the absolutely brilliant and will do it a couple of times in a game, but only every couple of game. He is also barrelling through contests deep into the fourth quarter and is a consistent four-quarter effort player. This is the gulf between what Cripps is and what Reid could be.
Now it's not surprising that Reid isn't there yet in regard to these attributes as a first year player but it will be what enables him to stand out the same way as Cripps does.
If Reid can improve his endurance and work rate over the next 2-3 years he truly will be a giant of the AFL.

Was Cripps ever corrected by the AFL/umpiring system in his first year, so he didn't get ahead of himself?

This is what one-eyed looks like kids.

Harley took some great marks but wasn't remotely close to Bobby Hill's (you could take your pick from the 2 he took in that same game) or Elliot's marks.

Next year Harley can take mark of the year.

Just go for some epics son
