Rd 2: Carlton vs. Sydney: Post Game Passion

[PassIt2Carrots]

Are you saying Judd was a poor leader and that has contributed to Murphy and Gibbs lack of effort?
Really? I would have thought they looked happy to let Judd do most of the grunt work. Let's be honest, neither are Sam Mitchell types and never will be, the problem is nor are they that good on the outside.
Picking and choosing when they attack the footy is their first option, not the hawthorn or Sydney like attack on the footy.
If they had elite skills under pressure, or had blistering speed or kicked 3 or 4 goals every now and then, well great. But..... we just don't get value for money.
I really don't care what number they were drafted, it's what other players in the comp do on much smaller contracts that bothers me.
Stop making excuses for them, if they don't provide value move them on.

In a nutshell. They are not up to being the best players at any club yet they are paid to be our best. I do not think either Gibbs or Murphy stopped us from getting beaten by more on the weekend so what are they doing out there? Move them on, get more early picks, it will most probably not affect our performance anyway.

I understand I've been critical of Murph over the years so many of you would be rolling your eyes etc but I've always said, I call it how I see it. I have backed Gibbs in throughout his whole career (just go to his trade thread I was the only one sticking up for him) but as another poster put, four coaches later, he is weaker than ever. Must trade for perhaps Adelaide's or Port's first rounder.
