Jamie Owen Cripps (born 23 April 1992) is an Australian rules footballer who plays for the West Coast Eagles in the Australian Football League (AFL). Cripps is a cousin of two other AFL players, Patrick Cripps (Carlton) and Chris Mainwaring (West Coast).[1]

Junior career

[edit]

Originally from Northampton, Western Australia, Cripps participated in the Auskick program at Northampton[2] and played his junior football for Western Australian Football League team East Fremantle Football Club, making his senior debut in 2009, before playing another six games in 2010[3] and representing Western Australia at the 2010 AFL Under 18 Championships.[4]

Cripps was recruited to AFL club St Kilda with the 24th selection in the 2010 AFL Draft. Shortly after being drafted, Cripps was admitted to hospital suffering from a diabetes-related illness. It was reported that St Kilda were unaware that Cripps was diabetic before they drafted him.[5]

AFL career

[edit]

Cripps made his AFL debut as the substitute player in St Kilda's Round 6 match against Adelaide at AAMI Stadium. He performed well, scoring two goals with his first two kicks of the game.[6]

At the end of the 2012 season, he was traded to the West Coast Eagles along with draft pick 46 in exchange for draft picks 41 and 44.

Personal life

[edit]

Cripps married his long-term partner Olivia Cripps in October 2021 at a ceremony at a brewery in Western Australia's Margaret River wine region.[7]
