Are we keeping Murphy?

[Chris25]

Saying we should 'stick with him until next season is over' because 'hes got a year to go' isn't exactly what I would call saying he 'deserves a place on the list'.

I would say that is more realism, combined with a 'he has a contract, so give him one last chance' attitude.

/facepalm. Enough said.

i reckon given time and patience kepler could become a reasonable full forward... better than murphy anyhow

I'd rather park Pav at full forward and train Kep up to do the grunt work out at CHF. He's got the tank for it and that way he can stay out of Pav's way while the great man patrols the forward 50.

And didn't Kep win a B&F playing CHF for Essendon's reserve team in the VFL?

I am pretty sure Keps won the B and F playing at CHB

nup, am 300% certain it was him playing at FF/CHF role.... adn he pipped the legend that is jason cloke, who was also playing at the bombers at that time

Nah cos I remember all the Bombers fans complaining that he was dominating at CHF in the ressies and then Sheeds would bring him in and play him in the backline where he would get his pants pulled down.

Purple, from memory it was CHF/FF for the Bendigo Bombers.

He topped their goalkicking that year as well, so all signs point to yes...

I have a strange feeling that Kepler as a roaming CHF could be a winner next year. Just a gut feel that he has reached that stage where he is ready to put it all together.

IMO the good 'Scott' twin has taken hold of Murphy in a last bid attempt to turn him into a backman.

Is it possible for Murphy to have a Taz like transformation hence saving his career?

Fremantle the land of opportunity. After his gloomy days down back we shift Keplar forward and he excels. We shift taz backward after languishing up forward and he excels. Could Murphy make it a hat-trick for Freo?

That's the second time you've brought that up. Is it for sure, or just a wish?

I'd love for it to be so. I'm not convinced Murphy has what it takes to be a backman. He's not really strong enough and, though reasonably athletic, I don't think he has enough closing speed that we see Taz display every week. But lets face it, the FF Murphy hasn't really gone anywhere, give him a read hot shot as a back and lets see what happens.

Get rid of him and kick him in the schlong on the way out

Yeah, but that's not really going far enough for my liking.

I think this would be more appropriate, oh and football cleats should/must be worn as well

Wishful thinking. I can't imagine another season in the same role would be worth persisting with.
