Bryce Gibbs & Marc Murphy

[LP]

I wouldnt get too excited about the trade offerings for Gibbs and Murphy......if the Crows win the flag then they wont want Gibbs and Murphy will be 30 going into next season and I dont see clubs paying a premium for him either...

This is exactly my point EB1, but they are quite valuable/useful to our club in that they can be used to buy the kids some time to develop.

We just need far more kids developing at both levels, a couple of good ones per draft period isn't going to cut it! We'll most likely lose blokes like Cripps or Weitering before the list develops around them.

I think we made a mistake talking Simmo into another season, not because he can't in fact without him we'd be cooked, but because we need another body in the midfield rotation and he's not that sort of option. In Tuohy's absence I was half expecting to see Docherty and Plowman getting midfield runs this year, but for whatever reason it isn't eventuating which leaves me perplexed about our list and coaching strategy.
