Richard Douglas or Marc Murphy

[Sanguinarius]

Richard Cranium > Richard Douglas

thats just stupid.

Douglas will be a very good player, but at this point the comparison is stupid

Yeah Gets is pretty stupid. But isn't it funny that Douglas was suppposed to be a bigger better version of Marc (according to Gets), yet Marc is the one already gathering 20 odd possessions a game in the AFL seniors while Douglas is nowhere to be seen?

And don't bother making the "we have a stronger team" argument. If Douglas was even close to being as good as Marc at this point he'd be easily getting a game ahead of players like Kris Massie.

BTW I've got no problems with Douglas, just with idiotic supporters like Gets.

Agreed.

My response was more a display of frustration at this ridiculous thread.

In all seriousness, good luck to Richard, if he too averages 18 odd disposals in his first 3 games & shows the class & poise of a Murphy, I'm sure all Crows supporters will be over the moon.

I'm sure you can appreciate it is much harder for a young kid to break into a side like Adelaide, than it is the Blues

LOL.

Did you even read what I posted?

I certainly did

I will bring the argument up because it is the reason why Douglas isn't tearing up in AFL just yet

So you do think that Massie is better than Douglas at this point?

 

[Gets!]

Yes he is.

It an indictment on the Carlton Football Club that he is playing, same can be said for Collingwood, if your playing list weren’t so ******** he wouldn’t need to be exposed to this level for 12 months.

Marc Murphy and Dale Thomas are very good players and have earn the right to be drafted first and second in last season draft but Richard Douglas has shown the same tenacity to hunt the ball and make obvious his skills on the football field, only difference is that the Adelaide Football Club has a strong midfield and he cannot find a spot in the side, that not an indictment on him so don’t caste any aspersion on his talent that he cannot demonstrate just yet.

The guy is so good that he's getting tagged in his thrid game. Like Judd there's no real reason why kids like this who are ready made shouldn't play AFL straight away.

For the record, Sydney tag everyone on every side that is there style, so that’s nothing to get excited about.


Would he get tagged when you play the West Coast or Geelong? What about us? I know for a fact that we wouldn’t waste a tagging option on him as Robert Shirty and Nathan Van Berlo would go to Nick Stevens and Heath Scotland or Anthony Koutoufides (if he plays on the ball)

Give Ritchie some time...

Marc Murphy is a very talented footballer and i have no doubt will be a BnF winner and 200+ gamer for the Blues.

Douglas is also super talented and is dominating at Sanfl level, he has proved that he can play with the big boys, he will just have to wait to crack into the Crows side.

ATM Murphy is the better player and there is no point comparing as Douglas is yet to play at senior level, but i am very much looking forward to both of these players battling it out in years to come. Both look very classy and future stars.

Did you make the same stupid comment when Judd, Riewoldt, Cooney and Griffen debuted and showed their talents in their first seasons?

Marc Murphy and Dale Thomas are very good players and have earn the right to be drafted first and second in last season draft but Richard Douglas has shown the same tenacity to hunt the ball and make obvious his skills on the football field, only difference is that the Adelaide Football Club has a strong midfield and he cannot find a spot in the side, that not an indictment on him so don’t caste any aspersion on his talent that he cannot demonstrate just yet.

If your midfield is so great why have Van Berlo and Vince cracked it for a game for the Crows in their debut seasons?

Douglas isn't as good as Murphy nor physically ready to play AFL and people were well within their right to say he isn't as talented as Marc. He wouldn't have been overlooked with 15 picks if he was as good and it's pleasing to see you still have a chip on your shoulder.

 

[Divado]

I think Douglas is as talented as Murphy the only question is his size. It is a stupid poll. Douglas will prove in time he is a very good player, who cares whos is the better player they are both gonna stars.

Seriously Adelaide supporters should stop with their premature ejaculation)

You would be the expert on that 2004 the start of the port dynasty

now we are seeing the true port adelaide tradition

Murphy is AFL ready while Douglas physically isn't up to it. Douglas has been doing great in the SANFL while Murphy has had 2 Solid games and an good game against the swans. Both have great footy brains and are classy. If Adelaide had to choose between Murphy and Douglas of course we would choose Murphy. That was at draft time. It doesn't matter where the player is picked in the draft, you would always hope that the player is going to make the AFL and be a superstar. Sherman from Brisbane is a good example. He's already gettting regular games at Brisbane and is consistently getting alot of the ball. He was taken with pick 45. It shows that it doesn't matter where you are picked up. If a player makes it to AFL i'm happy. Some players take longer, some are AFL ready already.
