They think their shi+ don't stink and believe because they're high drafting picks, effort is only required when they feel like it.
You've had it in for them for ages. As with all of us, you are completely entitled to your opinion.
Putting aside the question of Murph for the minute, the club has been steadfast in its praise and defense of Gibbs since day 1. All his coaches, starting with Pagan, Ratten, MM, Barker and Bolts have had nothing but good things to say about him. Compare this with Jack Watts' position at Melbourne, where coaches and others have publicly taken him to task at various points. We saw last season the club flat out refused to trade him, unless they got an offer they were happy with. This gives you some idea about how the club views him.
And of course, poor attitude is unacceptable, and is without doubt a corrosive quality. Both of them give me the craps sometimes as well. But they are still in our top 5 players, week in week out. If they are both out next week against the Swans, I guess we will know one way or the other how they fit into the scheme of things.
