Not wanting to sound like the 'prophet of doom', if GWS roll the Dees tomorrow and we can't get over Freo, then we will be in 17th position on the ladder alongside the Kangas as the only clubs without win thus far.

Versatile player so not a bad choice as sub. If he gets a run, another goal celebration would be good

If Murphy is playing solely as a small forward, Betts at 44 is far better than him.

And quietly likely Owies and the new kid from SA (Durdin?) are just as deserving of a spot.

Easy to say - but didn’t Owies play late last year and not get near it?
Murphy offers less than zero when the oppo has it, but he does know how to get a kick and occasionally looks like he may actually hit a forward with a pass when he has it

Not all players play all ways, we've been through this debate over and over again on this site, bash and crash players are rarely distributors and users. Users and distributors are rarely bash and crash players, Craig Bradley was just as tough as Wayne Johnston or Jimmy Buckley, but in a different way.

Same applies to Murphy and a bunch of other AFL players. Expecting them to make everybody happy is foolish, because it's the unhappy people who are the problem not the players..

Tomorrow it'll be 9, 10 maybe even 11!

But doesn't specifically mean he isn't doing his job, it may mean others aren't, it's a team sport.

Williamson was considered shizen by many, many who had him out ahead of others, it's not a surprise.

I'm a Williamson booster, but I can't defend his first two rounds.

I thought Levi was putrid too, but we have a bare cupboard in the ruck division, so we must pay the price of playing an out of form KPP.

You watch what happens if McGovern gets fit and kicks a few in the magoos, we'll bring McGovern in to replace Levi as a 2nd ruck because he has done it more than once before, but that was before the current ruck rules, so he'll play shizen in the ruck and fans will want his blood.

Nah, Macdonald should be playing instead of Levi.

Agreed. We have a loss and if any of the Setterfield - Levi - Murphy triumvirate has a bad game, then this place might explode.

100% effort 100% of the time...or clean out your locker.

100% Thry, OMac did more in a half v Rich than Levi has done in 8 Qtrs. So horribly out of form it not funny. As for young Setterfield, two softer games of footy I have not seen from him. He needs to extract the digit this week, no doubt about it. Its blokes like him we need the lift from. They need to step up, be agressive and take the load off the older blokes. Look at Syd performance yesterday, their young blokes played like 10 yr veterans FFS, we just keep making excuses for ours. Sick of it.
