Cripps’ shock ruck ‘preference’ revealed; star Dog sidelined, another stays out — AFL Rd 6 Teams

A pair of star forwards will miss Thursday night’s crunch clash at Marvel Stadium, with Max King and Jamarra Ugle-Hagan both absent for their respective sides .

St Kilda has made just one change with King missing through a knee injury as expected, though it’s thankfully not as bad as first feared. Zak Jones returns to take his spot in the 23. Tom Liberatore is also out through injury, in the concussion protocols after his concerning late-game fall against Essendon, while Oskar Baker has been omitted.Caleb Daniel remains an emergency, continuing coach Luke Beveridge's trend of sending players to the VFL for multiple weeks when they are omitted.

“My understanding is that Patrick Cripps’ personal preference is for Pittonet to be the ruckman, to rove to the big fella,” Landsberger revealed.“I’m not saying that Pittonet played on Saturday because of ‘Crippa’, but it’s on pretty good authority that Crippa doesn’t mind Pittonet in the team.”
