Patrick Cripps (born 18 March 1995) is an Australian rules footballer who currently plays with the Carlton Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL).
Early life
Cripps was born in Canberra, Australian Capital Territory and moved to the small farming town of Northampton in Western Australia's Mid West at a young age. Cripps played junior football in Northampton, and then moved to Perth and played juniors and colts for the East Fremantle Football Club in the West Australian Football League. He represented Western Australia at the 2013 AFL Under 18 Championships, serving as vice-captain and winning a place in the All-Australian Team for the tournament.[1]
AFL career
Cripps was recruited by the Carlton Football Club with its first round selection in the 2013 AFL National Draft (No. 13 overall). Even as a junior, his playing style as a slow but strong-bodied midfielder with a strong ability to win clearances by handpass drew comparisons with club great Greg Williams.[2] Cripps made his senior debut against Melbourne in Round 4, 2014,[3] but played only three matches during the season due to injuries. Cripps changed from his debut jumper number of 16 at the end of the 2014 season, to number 9 after it was vacated after the delisting of Kane Lucas.
In just his second season, Cripps established himself as a top inside midfielder, finishing 8th in the league for contested possessions and 11th for clearances, and earning strong acclaim for his attacking use of handball.[4] He finished second in the 2015 AFL Rising Star award after holding favouritism with bookmakers for much of the year, and he won the John Nicholls Medal as Carlton's best and fairest to become the second-youngest winner in the award's history.[5]
