The best thing about Murphy's recent form is that he's doing it without cover from Cripps and Curnow, he's an outstanding player and Captain who often doesn't get enough credit from supporters.

I think that Murphy is enjoying having team mates who, although they may be in their first or second season, don't mind getting physical with the opposition, and particularly when someone tries to rough up the skipper.  Samo is one bloke who seems to like watching Murphy's back.

I have been critical of his leadership at times this year [eg Lions game] but to be fair on the weekend he was excellent. I think I read the other day has polled in the coaches votes in about 14-15 games this year which is a very consistent effort.

The big difference on the weekend was we had a very good spread of contributors. SOJ and Cas were very quiet, and Smedts played half a game but had a game high 8 tackles by that time - other than that we had even contributions across the ground and probably career or season best games from Pickett, Fisher, Lamb, Boek & Bryne. Weitering, Samo, Charlie and Plow were all very good as well, and Willo played his role and used it well. So a lot ticks for the young brigade.

It makes the job of the senior guys a lot easier when we spread the load more. Kerridge has also stepped up, and the Hawk midfield these days is not as hard as it used to be, which also suits our game.

Not our problem, but Hawthorn will miss Hodge far more than they missed Lewis or Mitchell.  They will suddenly become very vulnerable down back with no General / Protector.  Memo to James S: You'll be on your own, son! Good luck!!

Gibson as well, the Hawks are in for a few lean years but if I was a supporter I'd take it.
The only thing in this world worth more than a hill of beans is the Carlton Football Club.

The best part of winning on Saturday was listening to the Hawthorn supporters complaining about Carlton's unsociable football. Their supporter base will drop off very quickly.

Just on that, and in particular the unsociable football role Lamb played, I nearly fell off the couch yesterday afternoon while watching the Sunday Footy Show when Kane Cornes of all people started to pot Lamb for his tactics. Geeezus talk about pot, kettle, black zone. He was the biggest in that department than any other PA player on record. What a hypocrite/flog.

Likewise.

Cornes repeatedly saying when trying to justify is puny point...'it's just not a good look...' words fail me, hang on, no they don't - Kane 'C0ckhead' Cornes!

Since when has Citizen Kane become so concerned about the aesthetics of the game?? What a buffoon......  ::) ::)

Clarkson in his press conf was starting to whinge about Sicily not getting free kicks! Even he acknowledged that was a bit rich coming from the dawks. Amazing that he would even come close to complaining about rough treatment to a team with Luke Hodge in it.

Anyway... their problems are many.... Hodge & Gibson definitely gone.

Next year:

Burgoyne 36
Roughead 31
Frawley 30
Birchall 30
Smith 30
Stratton 29
Puopolo 30
Henderson 29
Cyril 29

Dad's army. I'd don't think there's much point in going on with Burgoyne. What's the point in keeping a 36 y.o. when you're miles off it?

They are so far off their bottom out yet they've already dropped off a cliff. Made worse by trading out all their draft picks for 2 years for a bloke with 1 balsa wood knee and Mitchell... good player but not the most damaging. At a time when they needed to be realistic about their list and aggressively trade out for draft picks just like they did when they built their good team.

Let's hope they trade out more picks this offseason. Will set their next premiership window back another 2 or 3 years.

I think his comments are fair enough. The AFL made noises earlier in the season about penalizing the aggressor rather than the recipient, but as it always is with the AFL, they went off the boil on that pretty quickly.

Sicily was certainly entitled to a few frees. I thought Clarkson was honest and open in his presser.
