Murphy looked very slow last week and got caught with the ball pretty much every time he got it....a nice goal at the end was about all. If it gets him to 300 then so be it....I reckon he's earned it over the journey. I think Eddie is only a bee's away from 350??

The way Eddie has performed this year he looks like he could go to 400.  He deserves to be that and an icon of the game.

At the time I was on the fence of letting Adelaide have Eddie, and by the end of it, was happy to see him gone, but Ill put my hand up and state that this decision was possibly the worst we have made as a footy club in the last 30 years (that is a massive statement in itself).

Eddie himself said he needed to go.
He was drinking heaps and on his way to depression (if not already there).
The fresh start gave him new life and new love for the game.
Then he was able to come back and it happened again, got a 3rd lease of life.

Had he stayed, he wouldn't have been the same player, and wouldn't still be playing.

This is true, or maybe he would have left a few years back when the rebuild started and ended up somewhere where he could have won a flag.
Never going to win a flag with Malthouse! He tore the guts out of the club after the gains Ratten had made.
That’s why we had to start from scratch

Or maybe, he would have hit his 400 game milestone with Carlton, Yaz and Garlett might not have gone off the rails, and we might have won a flag with malthouse.

Who knows?  This what if game has many answers, but the one thing that I can be certain about is that with the benefit of hindsight that was a shocking call.

Injuries haven't been that unkind?

2 games ago we didn't have a key forward on the park, and we are playing jack silvagni as relief ruck for at least 4 matches now.

Our list might be smaller than it was last week, but that doesn't mean we haven't 17 names on it less than 2 weeks ago, even if some of them did play last week.  Harry wasn't exactly running last week whilst on the park.

Harry missed one game where structurally we fell to pieces.
Levi, Murphy, Pittonet, Setterfield, McDonald, Gibbons, Marchbank, McGovern. All seconds players. If the club is using injuries to these guys as an excuse, I suppose that tells you why we are where we are.
