It's two games in, so it's a bit early to tell...but the test will be which of our senior players are better in 2016 than they were in 2015...
After 2 games I'm struggling to find any.
Boekhorst maybe?
You can make an argument for Thomas and Graham but it's a pretty thin one coming off injury riddled seasons.

Thought Thomas at least gave effort and worked himself into the game. Maybe its because he's been out so long that he's running into problems.
Just need more from him.

Had to pull out last minute (insert mum joke here) so saw none if the game , looks like a good outing by Thomas. Was this his best game for us?

Murph isn't really designed to be captain, nor is he designed to be an inside mid. His best year was 2011, when he played outside receiver. This allows the team to take full advantage of his skills, and minimizes any adverse impacts caused by his physical limitations.

I think most of us agree with this PaulP , but is an unfortunate position we are short of the right player mix , unfortunate to have lost Bell would compliment our current crop well.

Bell?
He's playing for Brisbane doing the same dumb shit he did with us.

He has to be the most over rated player I have ever seen. I constantly hear how skillful and talented Gibbs is and I keep thinking, are these people actually watching the game? Are they seeing what I'm seeing? Jesus outside of Simpson, Gibbs is the biggest turnover merchant at the club.
We as a club would do well to part ways with both Murphy and Gibbs at the end of the year. Get players in who will consider it a privilege to play for the CFC, rather than a right. These guys prance around like they are God's gift to football, yet they've no right to call themselves footballers let alone prance. Two of the worst number one picks you will ever hope to see. The less said about Kruezer the better, but he at least tries 100% of the time.
I think you need to watch Kerridge a bit closer

Even on the outside, unless he's got plenty of time his skills are simply not that good. Give me Graham with ball in hand and time on his side any day over Murphy.
Re 2011. I made comment after the Richmond game where we won by 100 odd points that Murphy was almost Judd-like out there in the way he was attacking the ball. None of that fromm him yesterday, happy to let Cripps do all the work and see what cheapies he could pick up. And yes all the usual suspects who believe if you have some sort of skill you don't need to win your own ball will be on here shouting me down but fork it, I've had enough. Gibbs and murphy are CLEARLY our two biggest concerns at the club. Every other club has a couple of champions, we have these two.
Ignorance is bliss.
ONWARDS AND UPWARDS!

Far too much fumbling yesterday.....absolutely killed us......and just like last week, if Sydney ever fumbled (which was rare) we didn't punish them.
Those damn posters hurt us too......
Football is life, there is nothing else....
