It's hard to know when chook is trolling or not.
If this is true then either a rebuild is in the wind, or there is a mega trade in the works.
Different players to be honest. I think Murphy was recruited as a Tarrant/Thomson type replacement. I think the Tom Wilkinson and Tom Wilkinson are more at risk of delisting than Murph.
That’s cos their supporter base are the most gullible and will react all day with tantrums via BF.
Shouldn't it be We or Us or Our supporter base?
Mcarcherey you are #1 troll Hunter, where are you on this?
Agreed with everything you put forward here and I've been of the same opinion for a long while and said as much.The trio of Higgins, Cunnington and Goldstein has to be broken up, it's been three years now and all we've seen is that it's one of the worst groups in the competition. Higgins too easily becomes unaccountable, Goldstein doesn't follow up his ruck work at stoppages and Cunnington is too slow. You can have those players in a side as those traits don't stop them from being good players, but putting them all together is just a recipe for disaster.
It would have made some sense to move Higgins to a new role, but being moved to half-back was one of the main reasons he was unhappy at Footscray. I don't think there would have been the option for him to stay in the midfield next year, as if we're lining up round one 2020 with Goldstein, Cunnington and Higgins in the centre, then it's going to be another long year.
‘Their’? Don’t you mean ‘our’That’s cos their supporter base are the most gullible and will react all day with tantrums via BF.
I was starting to think that Seriously! was bringing some good stuff to the table in recent times, but this Crocker tirade is just bizarre. You're wrong on this one mate, absolutely 100% wrong.

IMO I see no merit in trading our only All Australian unless its for a first round pick or equivalent quality established player...getting a couple of speculative second or third round draft picks to simply top up our list of mid range players is a waste of time.
Thinking more the intercept mark player rather than the KPD. Still a kid and has growing/filling out to do.No offence there WD but the day Murphy attempts to play either of Tarrant or Thompson's roles is the day we see a key forward break the 20 goal barrier.

This one cleared the shark by 150 feet.
Higgo kicked 40 goals off the forward flank in his first year with us.
Do you really believe based on what you've seen over the past three seasons that those three can be the core of an effective midfield?
Well not really, it’s actually the complete inverse theory.
It’s actually all based on the amount of picks you have and probability.
On average over the last 16 years it takes 9 or 17 picks in the 21 to 30 or 31 to 50 range to pluck an All Australian.
The more picks we have in the range, theoretically the sooner we get an AA.
If we take one pick to the draft each year in this range, we may not get another AA out of that range until the mid 2030’s.
You rely on picking a needle out of a haystack. Obviously some recruiters are better than others, but probability and volume rules above all else.
Picks 1-5 - 2.8 picks needed to get an AA
Picks 6-10 - 6.2 picks needed to get an AA
Picks 11-20 - 5.9 picks needed to get an AA
Yes.
Their lack of support is the issue.
At the centre clearances, where there's only one other player to support them, they have been abysmal. Unless we're bringing in Patrick Cripps as support I don't think there's much hope for that group ever succeeding in that area.
Pair a quality outside burst runner with Higgins in there and all of a sudden the focus goes off Cunnington, who is elite at the scrimmage.
Goldy can then properly direct the traffic.
You should definitely let the AFL selection committee know who should or shouldn’t be in AA team. With your years of experience on BF I’m surprised they don’t ask you.This is good data, but the AA has lost significant integrity in recent years.
It's not that there's bad players in the AA, but I would argue that there's equally good ones outside of it.
No I seperate the supporter group into 2 groups.‘Their’? Don’t you mean ‘our’
No I seperate the supporter group into 2 groups.
The supporters that turn up every game to back their team whether they win or lose.
Then there’s those heroes on BF that throw the toys out of the cot when the team loses and constantly threaten to hand in their $50 membership as if it really matters to the Club. Pretend they know football yet have never played at that level and genuinely believe their advice on BF should be taken into consideration by the Club.
You pick which group you’re in.
