I think Yarran is playing injured, in fact if Cripps hadn't gone off I think he would have spent most of the last quarter on the bench. I also think that Johnson's job was to limit Murphy and while he didn't shut him out of the game, he did restrict his output. Boekhurst seems to lack confidence and if he could let go of his fear of making mistakes then he could be ok, Holman looks ok and Whiley needs to play more. I think Murphy leadership has been great the past three weeks and he has set a very good standard for everybody to follow. The Wood Casboult fiasco demonstrates to me that the side hasn't been playing as a team for a while now and therefore they are not on the same page. They have been better the past few weeks but they need to trust one another and believe everybody is going to the right thing. And this is not a MM thing. I don't think they have been playing as a team for about fifteen years and four coaches weren't able to change this. They are doing it now but they need to do it into the future.

We were at our crappiest for a while, had heaps of players out and lost to the 7th team by 11pts after some real comedy capers at some stages. At least we know how to hang in on bad days.

Anybody watched Bark's presser ?
Not much to it I guess. They usually go for about 11 minutes - this one clocked in under 5.
Mentioned that he was happy with the effort, but not happy with ball use /execution / decision making.
Gave Cripps a wrap.
Mentioned the very young and inexperienced midfield, against more experienced opponents.
Mentioned we out tackled the best tackling team in the comp.
A couple of other bits and pieces.

Fork me I was very slow. Either way great to see him improve so quickly, just like Mitchell did when he got a go.

Reality can be a bit tough to take for the average football supporter.

Good to see that we have some astute judges when it comes to Graham's ability
He has certainly been one of the players to benefit from the change of coach. I suppose that being closer to the players enabled Barker to see what Malthouse was missing.
Anyway, let's hope Graham continues to improve and becomes an integral part of a top class midfield.
