Is Murphy on par to have the worst season as a forward on record? 1 goal at less then 8% accuracy

its dumbfounding.. newchurch has kicked 16 goals in the SANFL.. cant get a look in.

murphy, rowe and mchenry have only managed about 16 goals all up between them all year.

putrid forward but looks good around the stoppage. But our 4 man midfield is already stacked.

 

[FR0GGY]

Interesting the WCE mids seemed to be targeting Murphy at stoppages.

 

[1970crow]

We're back baby! Finals are back on.

Out: Parnell, Thilthorpe, Murray
In: Brown, Himmelberg, Butts

I think that's about right but add Rachele for a small forward, most likely Rowe.

He's missed three weeks, which for a young player means he will have to come back through the two's.

hope so, it's just so us.

 

[I_Was_There]

In: Rachele, Newchurch, Butts, Cook
Out: Rowe, Murphy, Crouch, Mchenry

Parnell Butts Doedee
Smith Murray Hinge
Dawson Keays Soligio
TThorpe Walker Rachele
McAdam Fog Newchurch
ROB Laird Berry
Hately Cook Hamill Milera

like those outs

 

[Dangerousfield]

Tex to get a 2 year deal this week off the back of another BOG performance. He's still easily our best player

Which is a bit scary when you think he'll be gone in a couple of years.

I'd also suggest Dawson is our best player.

In: Butts, Rachele, Cook

Out: so many low impact, skill less types I'd like out!

 

[Burtonsgottago]

Lots of yucky players.

Out: Crouch, Milera, Murphy, Rowe
In: Butts, Rachele, Cook, Schoenberg

Absolutely must not bring back Brown

You would retain McHenry based on what?

 

[thebirdman 24]

Newchurch is better off getting 10 disposals and a few tackles rather than kicking goals. Thats what our coaches love in small forwards.

Murphy as a centre square mid would be a disaster. Maybe at under 18 level he was okay but not at AFL level. He was around the stoppages heaps today (without an opponent) and could not get near it.

was definitely horrible today, but has looked good around the stoppage in other games. Crouch's 27 junk touches have to come from somewhere.

He looks less bad up the ground but still not great. We are desperately trying to turn him into some useful piece of our stoppage game but it means they have one extra back when we eventually hack kick it forward.

I'd still prefer 10 from Murphy than 30 from Crouch anyday.

That’s what happens when you draft a midfielder and try to turn them into something else later, eh Ciao Giacomo ?

Which of his 0 CBA’s do you feel he squandered most?

At stages he was targeted at stoppages by the WC mids.

What do you mean? Physically targeted/roughed up?

Or manned up closely?

 

[Crows I Am]

In - Rachelle, Butts, Cook
Out- Murphy, Crouch, Rowe

Really hoping we keep Thilthorpe in even though he was quiet.

 

[MRB37]

ROB was targetting him directly with a lot of taps. He was trying to zoom around the stoppages to get free, but I don't think they connected together once.

 

[MRB37]

They were getting physical with him. Nothing out of line, but they were trying to keep him from running through/around the stoppages.

 

[MRB37]

It'll just be Brown, Rachele and Butts in for Parnell, Rowe and maybe Murray.

Should be sending Murphy and Crouch packing too, but Nicks is too obsessed with winning contested possession even though he bizarrely sends Berry and Hately out more now that Crouch is back, even though they're better clearance players and his ide to do that now revolves around Murphy around the ground. Crouch looked to be running with Kelly a lot of time at the centre bounce. Crouch needs to go and have McHenry/Soligo/Milera rotate on the HF/wing with Dawson/Smith while Berry goes back to being at the contest more.

Thilthorpe got to the right spots I thought, just couldn't make much of it and I don't think we kicked to his advantage going I50 all game. Had one where he had a clear lead and Smith blazed it 3 metres over his head. Milera was better too, we desperately need someone with some class sending the ball forward. Rowe tried and kicked it directly to the opposition every time today.
