murphy vs pendlebury

[Dk#1]

Two young guns who have lots of potential. But who would you rather on your team and who do you think is and will be the better player?

 

[Cassius_Clay]

The one that went #1

 

[Smell The Glove]

Dale Thomas. Best athlete from the draft. Heard he excels at netball as well

 

[Upgrayedd]

Murphy is obviously the better player, find some other avenue where you can convince yourself your team is the "best"

 

[trueblue_91]

Dumb Poll.

One went at no 1 and he should be the best and he is.

Pendlebury will be a star but not as good as murph.

Even the collingwoood supporters agree

And softball.

 

[JOELY]

unfortunately we didn't have the chance to pick murphy so...

 

[gormanisahack]

nah pendlebury is better.

 

[Magpie Mick]

Pendlebury was very good today extremely skillfull, lovely kick of the footy...

 

[Vedder]

Would have to say that it looks like both Pendlebury and Dale Thomas have both improved a great deal this season and both would probably be better than Murphy at this stage..

Pendlebury definitely better than Murphy

 

[The Royal Sampler]

Thomas played one hell of a game on Saturday. Pendlebury has also been outstanding. I think it's very close.

But parrot says that Thomas is ordinary and soft and Pendlebury is going backwards and we all know that parrot is a genius.

You're misrepresenting what I said. I didn't say Pendlebury was going backwards.

 

[augie]

Sorry about that parrot. Just thought these statements might have indicated this:

"Pendlebury has been a disappointment so far. Looks composed, but gets run down because of a lack of awareness, and he takes ages to get boot to ball, and sprays them."

"I previously rated Pendlebury highly, but in the past few matches I've seen, there are some major problem areas."

So did you get the chance to see Thomas on Saturday? In case you didn't he was sensational - showed exceptional courage, skill, fitness and poise in a hotly contested game. He went off after getting hurt throwing himself at another contest. At that point he was probably the reason we were still in the game. Gem of a footballer. You should have a look at him when you get the chance.

Yes, those comments are entirely correct.

 

[augie]

Yes, those comments are entirely correct.

Sorry you couldn't reply re Thomas' game, you must have been consoling yourself after Josh Kennedy turned in his usual consistent 6 possession game on the weekend.

haha this is so true...

polls like this start to make me dislike all carlton supporters

 

[Cassius_Clay]

Pendlebury will end up 10 times the better player Kennedy is. Thats really all that matter because Carlton had a choice between the 2.

Murphy > Gibbs > Pendlebury >>>>> Thomas > Kennedy

That is all.

 

[CrazyQ]

Different players, but both have cool heads.

Both very good inside players but have the ability to play outside aswell, which is very handy.

When I saw Scott the first time, I thought he can be as good as Marc.

 

[didaka]

Not even going to judge these 2 yet. But i'll just say they're not that far apart at the minute. They will both be very good players. That Collingwood/Carlton rivalry will get back to where it should be with the likes of Murphy/Gibbs vs. Thomas/Pendlebury. Can't wait to see these clashes in the future. Think they're all great.

 

[andypie]

Two young guns who have lots of potential. But who would you rather on your team and who do you think is and will be the better player?

i would rather murphy for sure, he is still the pick of that draft, but very happy with pendebury. i think he will prove to be the pick of the rest in the top 5. cant believe everyone wants to compare thomas and ellis, i think pendlebury is better than both.

 

[andypie]

Dale Thomas. Best athlete from the draft. Heard he excels at netball as well

could be worse. could excel at nothing like kennedy.
bit of a worry when you have parrot as your backup

 

[DG-Man]

That is all.

I agree with Clay:

Murphy>>>Gibbs>>>>>Pendlebury>>>Thomas>>Kennedy.
But not sure it will be too big a mistake, because Kennedy could still become a solid CHF and all clubs need them. No star, but a Spalding type who can crash packs and bring it down to the ground. Carlton may not end up regretting taking him over Pendlebury, as Pendlebury will never be this type of player.

 

[Silvagnis]

10 times better than Kennedy?

LMAO.

Pendlebury concedes soft goal every week because he has no defensive side to his game and shits bricks when in defence because he has no idea. Bryce has shown more poise in defence than Pendlebury in his first four games and not been caught out due to a lack of a defensive side to his game.

Krakouer caught him out last week and kicked an easy goal on him.

Kennedy has hardly played four quarters this year because we've been propping up our Captain to save face and he's down on confidence as a result. Kennedy was the best forward in the 2005 draft and it was no loss overlooking a lesser mid in Pendlebury after taking Murphy who was the standout player.

Our list is in better shape for the long haul with Murphy, Gibbs, Kennedy and Grigg than Murphy, Pendlebury, Gibbs and Grigg. Grigg will be a better allround player than Pendlebury with his speed and at least he'll get a proper football education from Carlton.

He may concede a soft goal but at least he can 'kick goals' and not shank em from 15-20m out.

As for the 'lesser mid' comments, well time will tell if thomas or pendles will become better than murphy from 05 draft with the runs pretty evenly matched atm, however pendles >>>>>>>>>kennedy everyday of the week. Paddy Ryder was a far better option than kennedy.
