Pre game perturbations: AFL 2021 Rd 12: Carlton vs West Coast

[Mav]

God I miss those days.  3 goals down at half time...  not a problem...  1000% confident we’ll be up by 4 goals by 3/4 time....esp if we are kicking to heatley end

Ahhh, the premiership quarter  8)

I heard one of the stars from that great era being asked about how that developed and whether the players took it easy knowing they could turn it on in the 3rd quarter. The response was something like, “Nah, the boys used to party on Friday nights so they were a bit dusty when games started. But after the half-time break, they’d recovered enough to play hard in the 2nd half”.

I can’t remember who it was who said that, but it was a classic.

Ive have always liked Murph and have backed him in on most occasions when criticised by many, he sooked it up IMO, dont care what anyone says.

Agree...been well looked after by the club and setup for life, show some leadership and take it on the chin.
Tell the media you are going to work with the kids who took his place and be a contributor.

...and when people today want to compare us to the 'good old days', wondering what we need to do to get back there......i'm tipping this is not what they had in mind.

Times have changed.

"Spose football you dont really deserve anything um as much as what Ive sort of feel Ive been a pretty loyal servant to the footy club...last weekend I was pretty frustrated..I think anyone who's played a lot of football...and to be left out of the side would feel the same way..its a natural thing to feel"

Yes Marc, however dont air dirty laundry, cop your medicine and move on. You aren't above criticism.

if I was the coach, I'd say to him "have another week son".

Is that it?  Was there more to the interview? 

Disappointing.    Murphy should have been a bit more honest.    Bonehead decision to drop him.  Only one of a few blokes to hit a target in the 3rd against the Hawks.  But lets play an under done Martin and Casboult in defense.    Did we run out of legs again?  WHAT??  Who would have thought that might happen?

Still need Murphy's class.  It great having all these guys that have a crack and are hard at it only to watch them turn it over and watch the ball sail over their head for a goal.

Still need Murphy's class softness.

There, fixed it for you...

Not a happy hunting ground for so many clubs.  But after the game, the "understand" sure was among the players. )  Val and Mario at their absolute best )

[Shakin77]

Still dealing with Spanner's class being clueless

My mistake.  Fixed.

[kruddler]

Pity he doesn't translate that so called "competitive passion" when he's on the field eh? Such a sook...

This issue really seems like much ado about nothing.
