Never been so happy to hear the siren.
2022- Real Deal or more of the same? 0.6%
2023- "Raise the Standard" - M. Voss Another year wasted Bar Set
2024-Back to the drawing boardNo excuses, its time
2025-Carlton can win the 2025 AFL Premiership
2026-Slow start, we can kick after all, why not?

After a FULL preseason? Why can't he last more than 4 games? Not conditioned enough?

FWIW, if you look at the AFL fantasy rankings.

Murphy is #1 in the entire league after 4 games!
Yes, better than Danger, Selwood, Kennedy.....

Agree. If there was a mercy rule in AFL footy to call off the game earlier, it would've been invoked.

Agree - his first 3 games have been very good. But the whole team was shizen tonight.

That's when you realize even supercoach and fantasy points have their faults.

For a couple of blokes who look injured Murphy and Gibbs look OK to me.

Cripps actually kicked the ball tonight, but he showed us why he doesn't do it more often, he needs to keep trying or it'll never get better!

Post match thread is open folks.
Move the discussion into there and we'll lock this one up.

Nothing good came of that, nothing. Started bad, finished worse, putrid across the board. I'd doc pays tonight, including the coach.

Cripps is a contested beast, but his kicking is average and he's very slow. A real Lion Heart, but if we're going to keep him, we must build a midfield around his assets, that also mitigate his limitations. No 1 on the list is mids with express pace.

Charlie Curnow was a positive tonight.
