Pre game postulations: AFL 2020 Rd 12: Carlton vs Fremantle

[kruddler]

I don't care about his age. His form dropped off a cliff at 25.

When you are deemed as one of the best in the comp....the only way is down.

Fact remains, nobody is coming close to pushing him out of the side.

Murphy hasn't been breeding a winning culture now or in previous seasons, I'll refer you to Spanner for further details why...
Port have played their kids and prospered...

What kind of comment is that? Who has??
Sack the whole team?

...and using spanner to back your argument up is akin to waiving the white flag.

You associated Murphy with breeding a winning culture as a reason to keep him. You dug a hole for yourself and fell in....
We did sack the whole team, they called it a list rebuild, this bloke called SOS was involved.Just missed on a few players, wonder who they could be...

No i associated winning as breeding a winning culture.
Murphy helps us win more than say Polson does.

Its not rocket science mate.

Walters in is a massive blow to our chances imo.

They couldn’t have kept him out for one more week ??‍♂️

Why do we always seem to be the team that opposition teams make sure their ‘injured’ players return in.

Shits me.

Cottrell looked like he wasn't able to pick up the pace of the game yet and Newnes has been getting selected on the basis of kicking a goal or two each week and doing feck all else. Murphy keeps making skill errors that a senior player shouldn't and at crucial times too.

Who are these "best runners" you refer to ??

Running around the ground for miles but not touching the aggot is not something to reward.

Yes, Cottrell looked shell shocked at first but I thought that he adjusted to the tempo and pressure quite well as the game went on.  He did some nice things - defensively and offensively - in the second half.

I would have been very disappointed if he wasn’t given an opportunity to build on his first game.

I thought Cottrell showed a few very promising signs when he settled down. Good prospect imo.

Didnt mind his debut, bit of a young Robbo look about him and  I like players who attack the ball well. Skills are ok too,just need to be careful we don't over do the negative type taggers and have enough game winners..

Let Cottrel learn from Ed Curnow. He'll inherit his role when Ed retires.
Has the tank to go with anyone.
Has the willingness to get his hands dirty.
Has the hunger to do the team things.

Ed v2.0
