Gee I do hope you're wrong :-[
Like him or not, he's highly respected by the boys. We're better with him in many ways.

I hope I'm wrong too.
He's been in good form this season and Murphy is due for a year without significant interruption as he hasn't enjoyed one since 2011.

I heard the same rumour late yesterday, something about him needing/getting an extra set of scans before they could find the problem.

I understand the form/merit thing but he was solid as was Graham but I would go with Cunningham over Graham in this instance. Seems to have bulked up a little and the body is into its second year so get him in.
Problem is, Graham will go for 4 quarters, get the hard ball but with average disposal. But he wins inandunder contests. Cuningham is young but will only go 2 1/2 quarters and is not so good with inanduner. Cuningham has finesse and superior skill resulting in great evasiveness but, sadly, ordinary disposal. :-\

I believe you should pick your best team at the start of the season. Make the youngsters earn their spot.

I agree, except I would gift each youngster a block of four games to see what they can do. Other than that, the club has to pick the best team to win, and every player earns their spot - young, old, short, tall etc. is irrelevant.

CFC Facebook page says Murphy and Gibbs have been cleared of any serious damage an are expected to play v the Swans.

Well, we now know what the tipping point is in terms of selecting kids that turns into getting thrashed .
I hope there's s more measured selection process this week.

Don't worry guys. We will play Sydney and get them back into full confidence and back into form, after they smash us by 75 points.
