Murphy needs to learn how to Captain.

Murphy needs to learn how to Captain.

If the rumors are true he was injured and probably should not have been out there, perhaps if Judd, Carrazzo and Scotland had be right to play in the 1s he may have not played!

Murphy needs to learn how to Captain.
Too many times on at crucial stages on Sunday, he shirked responsibility and through his actions, deflated team and supporter morale.

Captains Effort Fail 1
Running into goal late in the 2nd term he should ve gone for it himself, but handballed to he of fantastic skills Robbo, wjo missed a virtually open goal. Would ve put us 2 and half goals up and grabbed some momentum going into half time.

Captains Effort Fail 2
Late in the 3rd qtr, he takes a mark inside 50 on a slight angle. Captains goal time we all thought, as a goal would ve stretched the lead out  to over  two goals. What does he do ? Sh*t himself, and handball over to Touhy who misses.

Captains Effort Fail 3
Early in the last term, Murphy gets the ball on the wing and bursts  forward with Gibbs  open for a handpass and then  an opportunity for a shot at goal. What does Murph do ? Hold onto the ball too long, and then fluff the pass to Gibbs, Port get the ball take it down the field and get the first goal of the last, so instead of being 2 goals up and with the momentum of the 1st goal of the last quarter, momentum swung Ports ways and we never got it back.

At  least under Judd, while he wasn't the most vocal captain, cometh the hour, cometh the man. We all remember countless games over the years when games were on the line, when Judd stepped up as Captain and just said ' come with me' and the troops have followed.

Wow the excuses have started already! Looked fine in the first quarter to me.

No agenda, just think it's funny there is always an excuse for him but everyone else is sheizen. And he certainly didn't start the game like he was nursing an injury.

To do this we must recruit one man only, SOS must come home. Look at what he has created in GWS, it is his team. Now is the time to bring him back and rebuild this team from scratch. Trade everyone with any currency, give the team five years, gut this list.

How do Port have the ball 50 more times than us (twice as much) in the last quarter yet win the tackle count 14-4?

Just saw that stat on OTC and Geard states the bleeding obvious, no leadership.

Going alright to 3/4 time then badly ran out of legs. Reckon we were struggling to keep running by half time. Did a good job to come  back again in the 3rd qtr but physically we were done. No different to the lead-up  games. hope it doesn't take too long for the match fitness to get up to par.

Our side is frustrating but never boring. We can be so brilliant and so bad in the same game. Great start, the good, the usual nana nap, the bad, the 3rd qtr comeback when in trouble, the good, then die a death, the bad.

Tough call on Walker. This incidental contact rule can be confusing at times. He made contact with the ball first, his only other option was to pull out. Strictly applied two players going for a mark, who make incidental head contact and knock each other out, should both be liable for suspension.

Walker got let off on the Westhoff one, got done for the stupid flinging of Monfries into the fence. Reckless, dangerous and just plane imbecilic.

You guys are confident, I'm not. I'll be happy with a win.

I've picked Port, we were pretty much even with them last season and we haven't had the best preparation with most of our best players under injury clouds.
