Exciting to have a player like Honey in the team, real impact when on, looks a footballer unlike the whippets who we usually find.

Watched him at U18 level and as I have said before he doesnt give 100mins but when he is on he is like Gary Rohan and is game changing with the stuff he can do....has some swagger like some old time Blues players, reckon the fans will love him...

Me as well. Must be something there to be a rookie pick and now pushing ahead of others. Fingers crossed that we have found a gem.

Aside from the part where Murphy was the best player in the competition
As I said, history being re-written. He may have had a few stand out games, but to be honest I can never remember him or Gibbs being anything but bog average at best. Always doing something so sub par on the field that it detracted so much from anything positive that they did.

This is the problem with all you guys who laud these bog average footballers as stars. You refuse to acknowledge the mass amount shyte they delivered and choose to remember only the few highlights. As I said, blue coloured glasses...  ::)

Murphy's going to go down in history as our worst long serving captain, but that says more about our other captains and our history than it does Murphy.

Like it or lump it, he's still an important player for us, and he'd be top 5 in our b and f at the minute.

Yes, we do have a way to go.

Yep, we’ll ignore the AFL MVP and The Age player of the year, and run with your memory

It was actually ALFCA (Coaches Association) Champion Player of the Year 2011 but hey, lets not listen to what Coaches think, what would they know.

Chris Judd (remember him?) was the AFL MVP in 2011.
2012 HAPPENED!!!!!!!

Judd was an overwhelming winner, with his 1347 votes almost triple the tally of runner-up, Collingwood's Scott Pendlebury (456), with Gold Coast captain Gary Ablett (389) third.

Judd joined Ablett, Greg Williams, Wayne Carey and Michael Voss as players to have won the award more than once.

Judd was also voted the AFL's best captain for 2011, adding to a list of honours which include five club best and fairests, two with the Eagles and three with the Blues, as well as the 2005 Norm Smith Medal and captaining West Coast to the 2006 premiership.

So the coaches rated Murphy a better player than Judd in 2011, despite Judd winning every award imaginable in that year and/or the year before.

Shhh....don't tell spanner.

Then after being "as reported" a surprise winner on many 2011 awards, Judd was hung, drawn and quartered by the media over Chicken Wing gate and he hardly got a vote in anything after that!

Yet apparently the media has no influence over the umpires, officials or administration of the game! ;)

btw., The opposition crowds booed the hell out of Judd after that, ................ bunch of racists???

A North Melbourne player was given votes in the coach's award against us and was dropped for the following week.

Jared Polec, "Dropped" can be a euphemism for all sorts of situations.

I've heard that Polec was asked to go back to the reserves and work on some very specific sets of skills, as in pestering and nagging, because they tried to use him to tag Cripps and he failed as he is a play fair type player, hardly a shock and awe result! Yet Polec was probably clearly and unequivocally Norps BoG after quarter time, even the media rated him as so! He was basically dropped for refusing to be a c@#t! Don't be surprised if he wants out of Norp!

In the meantime the media lauded Pittard who basically helped lose Norp the game, and Jed Anderson who kicked, kidney punched and ankle tapped his way through the subsequent 2nd, 3rd and 4th quarter tagging of Cripps!

Polec isnt a tagger and not a physical player, it was a dumb move from Shaw considering Ratten showed how you curtail Cripps and the type of player you need. The old theory was you play an offensive player on Cripps to run off him as Cripps doesnt mind a man but that theory has been put to bed with all the successful close checking on Cripps of recent times
Polec wont be going anywhere with the money he is on...Nth are the kings of over paying average footballers..
