Good to see his return to the ressies gets a mention in the paper today!

ST KILDA'S first-round pick Jamie Cripps made a stellar return for Sandringham's reserves yesterday, kicking 1.3 from 17 touches and laying six tackles.

May as well make him the sub against the Roos. Only need to get a quarter out of him and it's a better option than Blake or Baker IMO.

Totally, though we could be up the creek if a player needed to be subbed off in the first quarterâ€¦

It will be interesting to see how he pulls up after the game. Being VFL Reserves, it will not have been an intensive game, but 17 touches says that he covered a fair amount of the ground.

Agree with Dragit that "we could be up the creek if a player needed to be subbed off in the first quarterâ€¦"

Really good to hear he put in a solid effort and is on teh comback trail.

Cripps will be super important in 2012 and with a full pre season behind him we can only hope he will be ready to dominate

BANG BANG

You would have to think that his game time was managed conservatively as well so good stats even if in the VFL reserves. By the look of it he could have kicked 3-4 goals.

There was a reason why he came back through the Sandy reserves !!

agreed eastern

pretty serious condition

cant say he is going to lead us to a flag
so
sandy seniors next week and see how he pulls up

you just dont go rushing youth back into a side when theyve come off a serious injury and they are part of the future

id be happy to see him stay at sandy get thru it, and front up next year tip top after a full preseason
