It's all fun and games until someone slips and divides by zero.

The Karma thing is ok but you should be able to see on particular posts who gave it a like or dislike. It stops people abusing the system I think.

Can't believe that just because LR didn't like it that he seeked, then it was taken down. He's not that much of a prima donna surely.

I would prefer a system where you could "like" or "dislike" a post.  That would save all those "X2" posts.

Hey! The forum wouldn't be the same without it's  x2, +1 and This^^^^es!

x2.

Good on ya pot stirrer. Now we will lose our avatars and our names. Next I will be a gender symbol 0-> or 0+ and my name will be 16237. I still wonder why our post count was scrapped.

LR didn't like Karma and got it removed and that's fair enough as it was never a part of the original CSC. As for post counts if the mods want to scrap them then that's cool but also scrap any new progressive tally eg the current faux player elevation model.  Personally I like the idea of post counts from the original site which I believe pre dates the 2004 model.

Hard to make a judgement on what someone can and cannot do if you dont give them the chance to show you.  The reason he might be getting a game might be a variety of reasons including setting standards of what will get you a game in the ones when you are not particularly playing well, and it may be for the benefit of finding out where he needs to improve, or what his limitations might be.

I think he lacks a yard of pace but has the smarts to make up for it,  and is a clever player.....also think he is the type of player like Dane Swan that you dont expect too much defensive work from but as Ron Barrassi once said just give me possessions....

Judd, Murphy, McLean, Cachia, Curnow.

That's our midfield.

On a different tact, assuming that Murph is not fit enough to run out four quarters, but given he still wracked up 13 touches and was effectively minding Crowley, is that a bit of a win for us?

If a tagger is going to Murphy when he cant really contribute, lets assume for a moment, Murphy didnt come up.  Crowley sits on Judd instead (assumption) and we struggle even more, unless someone steps up in a big way (Lucas? Graham?).

It seems to me, that Murphy wearing the tag, without being able to beat his opponent might still have given us a valuable contribution.  I know Im happier with Juddy running around without an opponent.

If Lyon's intentions were to have Crowley get 30 touches, then I guess you can look at it that way but I doubt Lyon had any such delusions. Crowley's job would have been to stop Murphy getting the pill and that's exactly what happened.

I guess the other side of the coin is if MM wanted Murphy to stop Crowley getting the ball and sacrifice his own game. If that was the case, I'd wonder if the coach has lost the plot ;-)

Not exactly.  I think you missed what i meant.  If Murphy doesnt play, Crowley would shift to a different midfielder.  I chose Judd because he is the next logical choice.  So Judd gets the Crowley treatment instead, and might fare better in this battle due to his relative fitness, but we lose more elsewhere than we make up here.
