Knocked out here against Port.

A section of Carlton fans have always called Murph soft.
If you look hard enough you will always find what you want. No point arguing about it.

I realise you can only play against your opponent, and it wasn't BigH's fault that he played 4 Qtrs against an undersized defence that played from behind.
But the media calls for a big long term contract are to say the least a little premature.
When BigH does that against some decent defence or defensive tactics we can take note, in game perhaps when Walsh and Cripps aren't dominating the midfield, if he dominates then, when others around him aren't delivering things on a platter, then it'll be a tell!
Kids offer fans a glimmer of a snifter of a poofteenth of potential in a single game, and the player manager is calling for a Buddy Franklin type contract!

Thought kicking 4 goals against Moore (all Australian CHB) was fair output. Also, while Walsh was he usual self, Cripps was a bit sluggish that game. Could've had a couple more but for 2 brain fades. Noticed against Freo he took his full 30secs in most cases before kicking so maybe lesson learnt there.
Agree, massive contracts on potential are fraught with danger, but by the same token we have a very rare commodity on our hands and we need to secure his services moving forward.

Harry should be have converted at least 3 additional goals against on the weekend, and probably should have had another 4 from the other two games.
He could well have been leading the coleman by now if not for some fairly crap attempts at goal.
He is a special talent and a long term deal isn't inconceivable. So far we have another million dollar man spending more time injured than playing.

I will leave that to you. Won't hold my breath.
All we will get is some dribble like "in that game in the 2nd or 3rd quarter, was a contest with I can't remember who, me and my mate saw it.... dribble.... dribble...."
The bloke has never had an issue winning the contested ball or clearances in some very average midfields and his stats over his career back this up.
Like I said if you look hard enough you will find what you want. Sometime you don't even have to look. Just make it up. You will never have to prove it.

Murphy has been a loyal servant but his and Betts time is up
It’s s brutal game

Cripps and McKay.
It's a bit like Judd and Fevola.
It's what you build a side around.
Get them both done....on long term deals.
The 4 goals against Moore (when probably beaten on the night) was arguably a better performance than the 7 against Freo.

Might as well nurse Smurf to 300 now.
Nothing to suggest Betts' time is up. Zilch.

Durdin and Owies still have their L Plates on....

Blooding kids and green shoots has to be done differently now. If Eddie is in the best right now, so be it, he serves a purpose. Its his last year and when the likes of Fisher, Martin and even Owies, Durdin, Carroll are up and running, he won't plat. Simple as that.
