Preview R17: Changes vs. Melbourne Demons

[Geoffa32]

Official changes are in

IN: Taylor

OUT: Murphy (omitted)

Surely that is the last time we see Murphy at AFL level.

 

[Pugsley]

Hooray

Bully

 

[Bernie L]

Gutted!!!

Thought Murphy really showed something last week!!!













*Said no one ever!

 

[Crows I Am]

Official changes are in

IN: Taylor

Nicks to Murphy

 

[Rank]

I predict Tex to play the entire season from here on out. And TBH, I don't think the selection committee are remotely interested in resting him again.

Almost a certainty he doesn't make the Perth trip.

 

[cmndstab]

Will Murphy be kept out of the SANFL side as the emergency?

 

[madstar]

Nicks to Murphy

It was a major opportunity lost to play someone in the 2s who was playing well last week. Are we going to see another debutant before the end of the year?

 

[Firewalker]

Nicks to Murphy

Bull, more like Nicks in a few weeks time:

 

[StonesThrow]

Yew

Hope Taylor is not the sub

 

[Crow_68]

So obvious they were never dropping Murphy immediately after that selection night thing with the fans.

Then first chance they get to drop him after there is some time between it they drop him.

This is so weak. Just select the best team. Means we fielded a weaker team last week for no good reason.

Taylor gave them an out by playing well last week.

It will be ‘Taylor deserves his chance’ rather than ‘Murphy did not perform’.

 

[StonesThrow]

Draper in for Smith and it's our best team

Nick Murray vs Jordon Butts discussion not withstanding. I think most would be happy with either?

Getting closer

I know it's not popular, but I reckon Smith has played well since coming back in. He's looks to be playing every game like it's his last.

Still, we should only be playing one of him and laird and getting Nank back in the team.

 

[Archie87]

Nicks when Murphy shows nothing for the 118th game in a row:

Hopefully Taylor gets a full game.

Any coach that isn't a moron would sub Smith but who knows what Nixxy will do...

 

[Pea Nut]

 

[Crow_68]

He is OOC at years end isn't he?

Put your house on him ending up on the rookie list.

 

[radiojake]

Please tell me Murphy is out of contract end of this season

Surely that's done for him

Congrats on getting 100+ AFL games but time is over

 

[Alwaysacrow]

Not to mention, Taylor is more flexible, capable of playing inside midfield and pressure forward.

It honestly befuddles me that Murphy is preferred over him. Taylor's one weakness is his fitness, which isn't an issue in the sub role anyway.

It befuddles the entire Crow's community unless of course you're just a FB happy clapper, most of them have no idea.

 

[ABAB]

Surely that has to be it for Murphy.

We thought that last time when he had his usual 1 possession in the 4th quarter and was dropped this year???

 

[Pea Nut]

Please tell me Murphy is out of contract end of this season

Surely that's done for him

Congrats on getting 100+ AFL games but time is over

Yep. He sure is. And you would hope so !!

 

[Alwaysacrow]

Bye bye Murphy, let's hope forever.

 

[Crom]

Guuuyyyyysssss.. stop bullying Murphy..

 

[thebirdman 24]

Thank god sanity prevails.

I look forward to repeating this nonsense in a month when Nicks forgets how bad Murphy is at AFL level.

 

[Geoffa32]

I know it's not popular, but I reckon Smith has played well since coming back in. He's looks to be playing every game like it's his last.

Still, we should only be playing one of him and laird and getting Nank back in the team.

Or give Edwards a go

 

[Smart Fella]

Would've been good from 60.

Beautiful kick, yet inside 50 and in the SANFL.

 

[imagifED]

We have potentially self sabotaged our season by giving Murphy those two games against Gold Coast and Hawthorn where we lost by a goal.
