Liam Pickering has lashed the Blues for their lack of public support for Teague over the past month and on Monday fired a broadside at Cripps for his defensive lapses, ordinary form and injury “excuses”.
Pickering, who was speaking on a SEN platform, took aim at Cripps’ on-field impact and his injury history, saying the onballer was no longer an A-Grader.
“I don’t think he is (an A-Grader). The way he has played for the past two years, I think he has been pretty ordinary,” Pickering said.
“This is his game at the weekend - he had 17 disposals, no kicks, 17 handballs, and negative three metres gained.
“Geez, he has a lot of injuries, he gets a lot of excuses for injuries. I think he has just had a poor year.
“He has had a drop-off for two years. Is it injury? Yeah it probably is. Maybe.”
“It has been long time since he actually has delivered in a consistent manner both ways in a game of football where he gets the ball and he actually puts defensive pressure on (and) chases and tackles,” he said.
Gee Liam if your boy Teague remains at the club he'll need more help (you know the 'help' that hasn't been forthcoming) to patch things up. All that bulls#it about having faith in this group etc etc ....
P.S. That Cripps was still being picked when injured .... well that's another story.
Never saw pickers come out and say anything about Murphy being carried and his selection integrity
True colours shown by Teague and his fake victim speeches , pickers disgraceful behaviour and just example how the whole industry is compromised with conflicts of interest everywhere
