Post Game Passion: AFL 2019 Rd 4: Carlton vs. Gold Coast

[Thryleon]

Dunno, does a lot right does Nick  that our blokes can't seem to do.    We need the blokes on our list who are supposedly better footballers than Holman to start showing that they are.

I reckon we've reached line in the sand time.  Time for these blokes to put up or F off.  Enough's enough.

18 disposals for two goals.  Wasnt in the ten for the day, and if not for a generous holding the ball decision (he simply let go of the footy whilst being tackled) he wouldn't have had more than a  goal.

Hes 22, and has averaged about 15 disposals across his career thus far.

It's like people pumping up Billy gowers for being a good finisher at the dogs. 

They are simply guys playing better than our guys are at the moment because they're more mature and playing in teams where they can play lesser roles better because they have more players around them firing than we do.

This is just over the top.
Murphy was ok to good, until the last kick which was pathetic.
He just cannot deliver when it counts.
Sure he linked up in some nice passages of play but by god he would want to.
Problem is he is our most experienced player, one of the highest paid, ex captain and he can’t ice the game.
Not only that he didn’t get close with some pathetic dribble kick with 6 players in front of him

Check his stats.  He was in the top handful of players on the ground statistically,  kicked it 24 times of his 29 disposals,  worked his dot off, and gained a whopping 700+ metres which puts him in the elite category, and had 5 score involvements with 13 pressure acts.

Yes he muffed his last kick.  We had lost the game by then.  Players have no idea how much time is left and let's not pretend he was close to goal.  He had no room to measure that kick from roughly 40 out with pressure around him, and he's a soft target (pardon the pun).  I was livid with his match against port.  I'll be the first to chastise Murphy when its warranted and yesterday it wasn't a fair criticism.
