If it's on the replay I'll try to get some clips up so we can see it.

I recall twice in the space of 5 mins that we kicked the ball over his head when Freo had a run on, both times the ball pitched in between sMurph and Freo opponents.

On the first occasion I think the bounce favoured the Freo player who took the ball and was then tackled front on by sMurph.

The second time I think the bounce went straight up and the Freo opponent was being wrestled by a Carlton player coming the same way(SoJ?) and sMurph tried to tap the ball sideways to nearby team-mate.

I wouldn't call either shirking the contest.

Perhaps the fans have been drinking too much of Malthouse's bathwater after he labelled sMurph soft during the week. All that media commentary proves is Malthouse is weak as piss and doesn't stand by his own words of having the players back!

Where we were seated we were right in line with Murphy, the ball and the Freo player. He moved out of the way, everyone in our section saw it.

Wasn't Malthouse instrumental in bringing Liam to PP?

Yes, but as a forward, where he was pretty ordinary. Moving him to the backline is what saved his AFL career. Of course, Jones is a quality character, and he stuck to the task of reinventing himself brilliantly, and for that he deserves considerable credit.

Some dubious types will try and tell you that it wasn't Bolton, but other coaches that suggested the switch of position, but somehow I doubt it lol.

Hi All. Been a while. Thought I’d drop in again and say g’day. Hope you’ve been behaving yourselves.

Was at the game and enjoyed it immensely. 2 1/2 good quarters with lots of positives. A wins a win and I’ll take it 😀

Onto the Ruckless Suns.

I'd forgotten he'd come on board as a forward.  Now you mention it I seem to remember someone in the recruiting team claiming the suggestion of trying him in defence,  but not really sure now.
Reality always wins in the end.

There were two incidents in the same position where everyone was yelling he crapped himself. The first one was completely justified, the second was an odd bounce and our fans were harsh on him because of what happened prior.
Is the one you are referring to at around the 28min  of the 3rd when Saad kicks it towards him?

Just checked, no not the one.
So when is it?

There are two moments being talked about on forums, both happened about 60s apart in the 3rd Qtr.

The first with 2m left in the 3rd he's beaten to the football by a Freo player who runs past Pittonet unhindered, sMurph tackles the Freo player front on and the tackle sticks.

The second is with 1m left, Cotterall kicks it over sMurphs head, it bounces boundary line side of sMurphs running line backs towards the corridor, sMurph changes direction towards the fall of the ball which is now infield and actually touches the pill first with his left hand trying to weave towards the corridor but doesn't take it cleanly. For some reason BigH who trailed the Freo player in hangs back from the contest.

Then I have to call you a flog.
You've probably been brainwashed by Malthouse or the crowd around you, are you seeing what Malthouse told you to see or what the mob saw?

The biggest disappointment in those two passages of play are the pissweak shepherds handed out by two of our biggest players.
