Murphy>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Bradley

[chook2734]

I don't think there was any doubt, Murphy was always more highly rated.

I am however not ready to write of Bradley just yet, lets give him at least half a season before we start to cry doom and gloom.

sabre I think Kep may prove his worth if we get to a point where an extra ruckman is required. Sandilands can't do it all alone and Warnock is still very young and light framed. Kep is more than big enough to pinch-hit if required.

The only move I didn't understand today was Bradley down back and not forward(maybe I miss that) or in the ruck when it is known he struggles there?

In all serious, I agree with these posts.
Give the guy a chance.
Let all the nay sayers, bomber supporters & Freo haters wallow in there schadenfreude in the two games Bradley has played in thus far for us [that ones for your daptoxxx].
If he works out great...
If he dosen't... so what
Let they guy have a few games at Subi so he can roam like a gazelle and display his skills...
I really think our resident Troops of Doom should wait.

That is all

lol, nice thread Lachie.

It's like saying $100 >>>>>>> $5. No one would disagree.

Haha, I'm in a crew.

It's a burn krew!!!

 

[dominguez]

Maybe in 2 or 3 years time, but is he a KPP? I thought he was more of a flanker??

Yeah, more of a Dale Thomas, Jason Akermanis type.

 

[The Night Shift]

Haha, I'm in a crew.

well of course, silly
The Purple Horde BF Freo' board posters is one big crew...

Atleast Duffield can get the ball. Kepler just runs around like the Auskick kids.

 

[dominguez]

Murph got three but didn't really look dangerous to me. At least Campbell throws his weight around a bit, and actually demands the ball (or at least tries to...) Murph still looks a bit uncertain or self-conscious or something.

I'm not too sure how much ground time Charlie Murphy got. I'd be surprised if he played more than 50-60% of the game, so 3 goals is a good return.

IMO Campbell would be better suited on the smaller east coast grounds but Murphy is a better option at Subi. Highly unlikely that we'll see the coaching staff go with that routine though.

 

[raffrox]

If he had a view that a young player was better than a crab from Essendon, surely he should be listened to?

When Neesham was coach we got Claremont players, when CC was coach we got Shepperton/ country vic players, now with Harvey we are getting Esendon rejects.

There's a pattern there on who has the influence and its not Smart.

 

[Slattery_20]

Hate to say I told you so...

(ps. I'm lying. It feels good!)

 

[Stronzo]

Good to see you guys are finally starting to realise what a spud Kepps is.

You're talking as if you've been reading posts here, if that was the case you would know that many of us were/are highly dubious of the decision to recruit kep.

At least we didn't pay squat for him.

That's one of my biggest gripes with Duff though dom. I hate that he gets the ball so much and then just hands it straight to the opposition! At least if Kep is just running around, at some point he may either get in the oppositions way, or knock one of them over

 

[bushie]

That's the way boys and girls!!

Lets start shooting recruits up the backside before the real season starts!!!


Yeh Rip and Sabre....I know that they cant see it but .......bloody helll.....this is a pre-season game!!!

Both boys did some decent things.

Anyone notice MJII's tackle that set up a Spud goal in the second?? I am sure there was more....I only saw about 20 minutes of the game.






P.S. Rip, I will be in Meeka on the 12th of March......my shout!!

PM you closer to the date.


AND STOP BLOODY WELL LAUGHING AT ME!!

Fair enough.

At one stage the runner looked more likely to get a possession than Bradley.

 

[Cheetah]

I thought Duff was good? He is similar to Happy in that he is a confidence player.

LOL , You saw twnty minutes more than I did.

I'm confident that they are both very average footballers.

Cheetah, I thought Duff was good too, a few years ago. I actually thought he would be the ideal replacement for Parker. The problem is he hasn't gone on with it and in a lot of ways he has gone backwards. He spent the very large majority, if not the entirety of the game on the ground today and all he did was turn the ball over. He cost us at least 3 goals. His decision making and disposal would be struggling at WAFL level right now. I'm honestly not sure why he was left on the ground all day today, given the number and severity of his errors, but perhaps it was to give him another chance? Will be interesting to see if he gets another go before round 1.

Is Bushie sledging people post tantie and on global ignore?

 

[Cameron_K]

I would prefer if Duffield couldn't get the ball, would make him less or a worry for the team.

 

[bushie]

No way Lachy.

I agree 100% with your in depth OP.

My point was a more general dig at supporters attitudes in general after 2 practice games of footy.

One minute we are saying it is just a practice game when the slime bait us about wanting to win the NAB.

And the next we are bagging players and staff when we lose!!

But in general most Freo supporters defend him on the main boards even after Essendon people who have watched him week in week out for for a number of years tell you how bad he is.
