Bruce v Chapman v O'Bree v Murphy

[oc37]

Apparently Cameron Bruce was not considered good enough for Gary Lyon's Vic side.
if there are any other glaring omissions post here.. you can select 2 if you wish as only Bruce missed out

Bruce > Chapman > Murphy >>> O'Bree

He's an idiot if he's done that, but he jumps on and off the Melbourne bandwagon.

 

[dids4]

o'bree has been nothing short of fantastic this year. but hey, he wears a collingwood jumper so i can see your angst.

and also, the fact that you care about a fictional SOO side chosen by one of the worst blokes involved in footy is more than a bit sad.

Bruce has definitely been in the top 10 players so far this year, i think he just tried not to be biased, he had trav Johnstone in there, but i would pick Bruce before him as well, although he has had a great month, but he started too slow

Well even Collingwood fans don't rate him like they should, so what can we expect from opposition fans? (other than them yelling "For christ's sake put someone on that number 11 guy!")

I do not care what Gary Lyon thinks but clearly shane O'Bree is not even close to being half the player of what Chapman Bruce and Murphy are!

 

[DynamoUltra]

Bruce by a mile.

 

[DG-Man]

Bruce, Chapman and Murphy are all guns. Along with TJ, Bruce is in Melbournes best and most important 1-2. Chapman is best small forward in comp. In Geelongs best few. Ditto Murphy.
O'Bree is not in Collingwoods best 10. Can play, but if he did his knee tomorrow,Collingwood would barely notice it. Imagine if Bruce did his!!

Really tough one. I'd go

Bruce>Murphy/Chapan>>>>>>>O'Bree

[prettyboy]

Comparing O'Bree to Bruce.
All 16 team in the league (therefore including Collingwood) would give up O'Bree and a pick to get there hands on Bruce.

 

[melbournemartin]

Pies 1st pick + O'Bree for Bruce would result in a major " off" from Melbourne and rightfully so.

mARKS bRUCE 14- o'BREE NOT IN TOP 100
kICKS BRUCE 24, oBREE NOT IN TOP 100
iNSIDE 50 brUCE>oBREE
SO.... WHAT ARE THE STATS REALLY SAYING

I THINK WE SHOUDL LISTEN TO ALL THE PIES SUPPORTERS WHO WOUDL TRADE OBREE AND A FIRST ROUND PICK For bRUCE.. RATHER THAN DOPPLEGANGER

pies would notice if obree wasn't playing as we wouldn't get the ball!!

what, so because he holds an opinion he is sad?

and also, for someone averaging 8.81 posts a day, i honestly don't think you have the right to be calling anyone sad

Bruce >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> O'Bree. O'Bree has been good but nowhere near Bruce this year.

And for calling me sad, liking Blink 182 is a bit more than just sad.

 

[Lonie_from_50]

Bruce > O'Bree, but it just shows that smart followers (aka Lyon) gives O'B some respect.

mate was replying to a post from u when u said that the pies wouldn't even notice if obree went down with an injury

obree is dominating the inside ball this year, clearances, tackles, first possessions all the hard stuff.......he is the bloke that predominantly gets the ball out to our outside blokes like benny johnson, swan etc who finish the play off

try comparing obree to somebody like mcdonald from melbourne as they play similar roles.......bruce is more like benny johnson

by the way bruce is my favourite player outside of collingwood players and he is captain of me dreamteam every week, i know how good bruce is

u just have no idea about obree's value to a team

bruce, chapman, murphy are all finishers

obree is a creator

 

[Stakerz]

Bruce will always be a gun player, O'Bree has his days, months and maybe even years

 

[Stakerz]

by the way bruce is my favourite player outside of collingwood players and he is captain of me dreamteam every week, i know how good bruce is

Ditto, Bruce is a great player.

 

[Thrawn]

I like Bruce.

His name rocks. Always like to shout Bruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuce when I see him play.

 

[FIGJAM]

It's all well and good Lyon recognising the O'Bree's been good, but he hasn't been that good!

Hodge is an extractor, as is the superfreak, so Bruce would slot in nicely into that midfield.
