Yes, proving the absolute obvious, like sMurph isn't physically intimidating like Joel Selwood.

You'd fail horribly as a coach, you'd be so hell bent on putting your charges in circumstances that prove their shortcomings, you'd waste all their available talent!

If we had much to bring in I'd agree.

It sounds like we are dropping Murphy for the sake of it to bring in someone else who isnt up to it.

Cutting your nose off to spite your face.

That's not the sort of club culture we want.

That’s exactly what we want.
It’s setting standards that we have refused to do for years, hence the pathetic club we are today.

We just keep accepting the same pathetic half efforts and it will not change unless the match committee and Bolton make a stand.

LOB sees it and thinks I will play the same way.
SPS will follow suit and soon enough another group is lost.


We should have sent Murphy to Brisbane, not Mitch Robinson.

btw., I liked BBs pre-game presser, https://www.carltonfc.com.au/video/2019-05-10/bolton-previews-pies, but I'm not so confident our kids are all that good yet at blocking out the noise as he suggests. But I'll take him at his word.

On a separate issue, SpecialK back is massive, his experience and he's played well against Grundy previously. I like the no runners rule, but I concede our inexperienced team suffers under that rule, so getting an experienced player back in the heat is massive for us.

I realise the MC is probably doing it for a reason, but I feel over the last couple of games they have been a bit slow moving our experienced types back into traditional roles. Especially given you cannot send out a bunch of runners to instruct the kids.

Could the AFL change the runners rule, so that teams that didn't make finals last year can have an extra runner, it would be a great leveller?

We simply dont have enough class to bring in to allow the removal of a player because he can't be thug.


Or are you saying we should play polson and Kennedy??

Dow needs to be dropped too.

The amount of fantasising that goes on here. Gibbs was dropped for 1 game and was back in the next week. Roughead has also been dropped, for at least 1 game, and possibly indefinitely. Both have played over 250 games. But apparently Gibbs has finally been worked out, which means that the Crows were asleep at the wheel for more than a decade of Gibbs' career, and also failed to do their homework for 2 successive trade periods. Well clearly, if they want the real truth instead of fake news, they should come here. The place where people know footballers better than any coach, analyst, recruiter, scout etc. from a professional club.

And Murphy ? Ah Murph. 15 seasons, 5 coaches, dozens of team mates, assistant coaches, board members, journalists, and no one has been able to rein him in. He told Malthouse to f2ck off, he told Judd to f2ck off, any hard nut that gets in his way, he just mows them down, puts 'em in their place, and shows them who's boss. Because nobody, and I mean nobody, is going to tell Murphy that he has to get off his fat ar$e, pull his finger out and CONTRIBUTE. Nobody has been able to pull him aside and tell him to stop being such a softc0ck, no coach has dropped him, and nobody has been able to see this complete sham of a footballer, except the experts on here.

Thank God for footy forum experts.

You need a holiday Paul. Don't know what your drama is, but it's a big one....

A thug?
If he tackles he’s a thug?

Serious?

He's never going to be the type that could tackle with intent.  That left the moment his shoulder got smashed in his first season with us (because failed to protect him when he was a kid).

We are as culpable in that regard as he is.

Now we have bigger bodies let's make a statement and drop a bloke that leads our team most weeks for metres gained because he has one tackle on the score sheet instead of 3, even though his pressure acts are up there.

It's broken logic.

We dont have enough players staking a claim to do it.  We could drop 5 blokes who we are carrying most weeks before getting to Murphy in his poorest season and the only bloke who's a likely replacement is Kennedy and he isnt in sterling form.

I'd drop dow before Murphy at this stage.
