Sorry, but playing the likes of Murphy is just prolonging the pain and epitomises our entrenched problems. Gotta rip the band aid off and start afresh, not keeping going back to the same old well. It hasn't been good enough for 15 years, why stick with the same names?
We keep players like Murphy and Curnow in the team to keep our heads above water but we never actually progress anywhere and just tread water. Beveridge is a weirdo but at the same time has a ruthless streak in terms of what he demands, his older players know they have to perform to keep their place. JJ was a premiership wing/half back but didnt want to contest properly after that and bludged for the easy ball, was dropped after signing a long term deal, has had to fight his way back into the team....our standards are different and until we get ruthless our results will stay poor.
