Post Game Participation: AFL Rd 11: Carlton vs West Coast

[LP]

So would you take who hundreds of players rate the best in the comp (They can't vote for their own) or who coaches like Hinkley and Chris Scott rate the best?

I'd take who we need, not driven by a popularity contest.

Would you show interest in Polec if Norp paid part of his wage?

Be a No to Polec even with part wage paid we recruited Obrien, Philp, Ramsay to play that running link player role, his type of player need a very dominant team to use his front running skills. He is probably a poor mans lssac Smith but Smith can win his own ball better and hold up in the big moments, Polec misses a lot of clutch goals and targets when the heat is on.
You team him up with fellow mature imports Aaron Hall and Pittard and its a clangar fest...Nths recruiters must be under real pressure given what they have brought into the club of recent times.

Honey this week,  Cottrell last week,  Newnes in round one.  Walsh shifted to that running wing role.... I'd be getting concerbed if I was O'Brien.  Round one draft pick supplanted by first and second year rookies.

Not good and his form in the scratch matches hasnt been that brilliant, needs a big 2021, has to be more competitive and harder at the ball as the modern game exposes those who dont contest well enough. Philp , Cottrell all have shown they will put their head over the ball and thats why they are getting games.
Honey has a better build than all of them and no surprise he is getting his chance and is another who will contest properly.

So you're saying that Murphy type efforts are starting to be scrutanised and phased out of the team? Wow! What a concept. Who would've thought that attacking the contest should be a highly regarded trait?

Gee, this must be a new concept that Carlton are experimenting with. I wonder what Marc thinks about it... Hmmm, obviously there are get out of gaol cards for Marc though because he's obviously exempt from that part of the game.

He's to get out of the way when there's any danger of actual contact, but for everyone else at the club, there's standards to uphold...  :-\

Ins't Polec is a bit bigger and heavier than those smaller types?

This could be the only Post Game thread in history that goes passed the next game.

You are preaching to the converted, my main gripe is our lack of harder bodies and Von Trapp kids recruiting style where we ignore the contested harder types and go overboard with the nice kids who have pretty skills.
Murphy was never going to be a lead by example leader and was a poor choice but I get why the club went down that path....
Judd wallpapered a lot of cracks, we had to turn him into a inside mid to cover for the others and we broke him...Teague knows the same thing will happen with Cripps and IMO is looking at restructuring the team with more contest happy players.
Murphy, Simpson and Kreuzer need to retire ....

Yep he is taller @189cm but very outside and not to keen on the contested stuff...Port were happy to let him go for the big dollars and rebuild with Duursma, Butters etc...been a winning move.

Was Marc Murphy ever the number 1 player in the comp?
