Good chance to play

Quadriceps
August 17, 2021
Cripps (quad) has a "strong chance to play" in Round 23 against GWS, according to Director of High Performance Andrew Russell.
ANALYSIS
Cripps was a late scratch in Round 22 due to a quad injury but will likely play if he can pass his fitness tests before selection. With an average of 23.7 disposals per game, Cripps can perform well, though he's only scored more than 100 fantasy points on four occasions all season.

August 13, 2021
Cripps has been ruled out for Saturday's Round 22 matchup against Port Adelaide due to a quadriceps injury, AFL Ratings reports.
ANALYSIS
The severity of Cripps' injury isn't yet clear, but the issue will force him to miss at least one contest. His next chance to return will be in Round 23 against Greater Western Sydney.
Scores three in loss

July 24, 2021
Cripps scored three goals and one behind to go with 21 disposals (11 kicks, 10 handballs) during Saturday's 116-77 loss to North Melbourne in Round 19.
ANALYSIS
Cripps has struggled to impress recently but he got back on track from a scoring perspective thanks to his second three-goal game of the season. The next step for him will be to consistently improve his possession numbers, and with the season all but lost, he'll get a chance to prove what he can do before next year.
