We'll win this! (if Murphy lays more than 2 tackles)
If the game plan and tactics determine that sMurph has to lay tackles we are in trouble.

Early showers, greasy conditions, will not favor our tall setup.
Especially given over the last six or so quarters of footy outside of Jones or Weitering our talls have barely taken a mark! McKay, Levi, Marchbank, Cripps even McGovern all have the fumbles.
Get Podsiadly down on a contract to get them sorted, the bloke had the best contested marking and wet weather marking technique I've ever seen!

What has happened to Levi's marking?
He was probably the best in the comp 2 or 3 years ago.

I'd play Murphy on Philips, the latter is usually good for 25-30 possies a game and is very under rated and damaging, he isnt physical
or overly big and plays a nice clean game which might suit Murphy who played a negative role on the Bulldogs Hunter a few weeks back and did ok.
Murphy needs handpicked opponents these days and if none suit then you have to ask the question if he belongs in the team.

Here we go, special conditions because he does so much else.
FFS you can't have players that let them team work down.
He doesn't offer much else, if he can't add pressure he shouldn't be out there.
Excuses, excuses, excuses, excuses, excuses all I farken here for this bloke.
Can't play here, can't play there, shouldn't have to do this.,
No wonder we are shiiitt.

Not at all, as EB1 points out your coach has to put players in roles that suit them, using their strengths to advantage not exposing their weaknesses.
Opposition coaches would be hell bent on forcing sMurph inside contests, and leaving Cripps or Setterfield trying to spread on the outside. No different to forcing McKay or Levi to compete for ground ball while allowing small forwards to fly for the ball, remember the bad old days of Betts as FF, or Yarran tagging, or Tutt at the coalface?
It's a football basic so I don't get why you are so disbelieving of a basic truth, that good coaches and MCs work with what they have got to it's greatest advantage.
Perhaps stop letting your emotions rule your brain!

Let's face it, any reasonable form from McGovern, Charlie or McKay and Levi's in 4th spot, it's just the reality of the situation so it's fair he looks at 2nd Ruck as an option. But if wants 2nd ruck then he better develop some 2nd efforts and physical presence!
Some fans are touting McGovern to CHB this week, but do not be at all surprised to find Levi starting there, he spent a good portion of pre-season training with the defensive crew. But he is clearly down that pecking order as well.
In any case, it's pretty clear Levi's kicks better around or outside the F50 mark. So I think 2nd rucking and floating between D50 and CHF is his go. Keep him away from deep inside F50.
