Gibbs & Murphy have been picking and choosing when to play for 2-3 years after a decade of disappointment and that's a hard habit to break. Pick and choose at a decent side with some depth, you're dropped.

Murphy knows that he can run-by or stick an arm in the contest and there will be no repercussion at the selection table.

The Context my friend is that his colleague is lying unconscious on the ground, while 10’s of thousand of people at the ground and on national tv are watching in stunned belief and dread and he does not have have the emotional intelligence to understand something serious is happening. Hearing a fart is not a get out of jail card. I know it was only an example mate, but he’s a grown man, not a 12 year old and he is also in our Leadership group. He has to own that moment and be taken aside and told that that is not a time to laugh but a time to lead.

You don't know the context unless you're a mind reader. You catch one glimpse, can't tell anything from that.

Yep, been educated by the best of them.
He will be educating our young blokes too and how will they react when Bolton gets the boot and someone tells them some home truths
Like a farking sick merry go round.
I would not play any of
Murphy, LOB, Casboult, Plowman
We need to change the culture
SPS in a wing.
Kennedy and Setterfield must play, so we can mix up the midfield instead of doing the same thing every week

You are talking about the second before he laughed. I get that.

I’m talking about a pivotal moment that should have overridden any desire to laugh at that moment in time. You’re getting smashed and humiliated by the bottom placed team in the Comp and a team mate is lying unconscious on the floor. And you’re a member of the Leadership Group. What he should have been doing is talking to his Captain for instructions or maybe taking his defensive group to the side to think of how we cover for our best defender leaving the ground.

Cant argue with that, Cripps cant do the heavy lifting every quarter, every game and we need a horses for courses approach.
I'm done with Levi and both Plowman and Marchbank would be in my crosshairs too , SPS is a skilfull player and on a wing today was probably a better position with Kennedy and Setterfield
helping Cripps out in the middle.
I'd also be aiming at the coaches box and at John Barker.....

Alot worse than Levi on the ground today. At least he was getting it. Pity it was 0.3 rather than 3.0. He'll be in until McGovern comes back then will probably get dropped. Reason he's stayed in, and unfortunately meant we've had 4 tall forwards at times, is because he has done pretty well. No case to drop him, although I wouldn't play that many talls and a hard decision should've been made.

Marchbank will be better in a key role with some responsibility. He's probably lost like Weitering was last year. Plowman we can take or leave. We play too many talls and it throws some of them out. We pick the wrong side most weeks.
