consistently ****house
Hmmm, wonder why Hawthorn were chasing him so hard then at the end of 2004. I take it you disagreed with their opinion of him?


Personally I'd say they're about even. Murphy is no more important to their structure than Jones is to the Roos.

This appears to be one of those "I'm right, you're not" threads. At the very least , those from either teams involved should explain why their player is better.

Having said that, I actually wouldn't mind Jones in our team. I think he's under-rated. He works hard and takes a good mark. A bit unreliable in the kicking department but someone who slips under the radar and can hurt a team.

I will be accused of being biased but Murphy has to be rated a better player. Amazing balance, good pace, great skills, strong overhead and plays a key role on the forward line. He's also a lot stronger on his wrong side than Jones is. His biggest wekaness is his body shape but he's certainly a lot stronger now than a few years back. When he first started he was the skinniest bloke I've ever seen play AFL.

I'd say Jones is "blue collar" whilst Murphy has more than a touch of class. They both play well consistently.

But if you want to talk about that sorta thing just look at the hacks we've unloaded onto you. picione was a great player huh? i feel sorry for Hay with the stuff thats going on but he just awesome for you too.

Thats great. Maybe the Dorks should get you in as their recruiting manager. You're obviously just so so much better. :thumbsu:

Talk about what sorta thing? Make sense assclown we're talking about the fact that Jones was chased hard by Hawthorn and the fact that North didn't give in almost stuffed the Thompson trade. WTF are you babbling about?

Well he played in a final in 2005 which wouldn't have happened at Hawthorn but relevance?

Awww I think this is where he was trying to show he was a caring kinda guy so thought he'd add this just so he could roll off his smartass remark. Classy, but again, relevance?
but he just awesome for you too.
Relevance?
Thompson is the exception
Yep and hasn't had the effects of depression in a while either.
but hey, he wont play for a while.
Relevance?
good job Roos! :thumbsu:

Unfortunately, he's clearly too stupid to realise just how stupid he is ! ;)
