These past few weeks have shown me that Marc Murphy is clearly the most important player in this team & is in fact, more of a captain than a lot of us have ever given him credit for. We have been bordering on inept ever since he got injured.
.....and if I have to watch Kreuzer get absolutely schooled in the ruck YET AGAIN......it's gotten beyond a concern now, as his direct opponent YET AGAIN vies for B.O.G. honours, who YET AGAIN gives his team an armchair ride @ the centre clearances & who YET AGAIN also hurts us on the scoreboard. Is there a worse, more ineffective AFL ruckman right now? I don't think so.
A game like that helps you make up your mind on players future's, some of our blokes didnt contest well enough and as you suggest we look a bit rudderless without Murphy with only Simpson and Rowe providing any real leadership...
Jacobs like Talia continues to bite us on the Ar$e and I have also made the point about Kruezer's recent lack of impact on games compared to his opponents...Hickey, Grundy and now Jacobs have had nearly BOG's vs us in recent games and the club need to look at another ruckman like Tom Downie from GWS to partner Philips for the future..
