A day after coming under-fire for not supporting David Teague, co-captain Patrick Cripps has given his support to the embattled Carlton coach.
Speaking to Fox Sports News following an end of season interview, Cripps opened up on his injury which forced the on-baller to be substituted out of their final match of the season – a 14-point loss to the Giants.
“They asked me to play,” Cripps told Fox Sports News, who finished with 17 handballs and no kicks during the defeat.
“I just tweaked my ankle early in the game. I always love playing footy and the body didn’t hold up in the last round.
“I’m just excited to get away in the off-season and freshen up and have a really big pre-season and together with Teague have a big year next year.”
