I can understand why, I mean he's a limited sort of player.
Both were genuinely dropped last year. If Doedee and/or Talia miss, Kelly is a lock. Murphy is in trouble though I reckon.
He WASN'T known for defensive effort, but you only had to watch him last year to know he's more than good enough in that area.
That fullback line sounds like something Andy McPherson would have been called in primary school
Can't agree with your McAdam statement that he's not known for his defensive efforts, I actually think it's one of his very strong attributes watching him firstly for Sturt then the Crows SANFL and AFL.
Rated elite for tackles inside 50 last year
That’s Borlase kicking on his left yeah? Normally a right footer?
Pretty sure it's Hamill. Borlace is probably bigger than Hartigan.
Why murphy? Mchenry had alot more impact in the trial game imo. Yeah he missed a few shots on goal but murphys no dead eye dick. In terms of pressure mchenry by the length of the flemington straight in that game.
Tend to agree with you but can't see coaches going with that at round 1. Imagine he's behind Rowe and with them wanting Milera to be mid/forward his chance is lessened. Imagine team could be quite different midway through the season.
From what I've seen of Neddy since joining the Crows and prior at the Falcons/Vic Country essentially our coaching staff see him as a player they want in and around the contest far more than the small pressure forward role with his elite running power, kamikaze attack on the ball and ball carrier and the way he brings other players into the game when in possession.
Certainly an odd post unless he's been marooned on a desert island the last 6 months.
