So no to both from me and Imo Murphy is playing for the 300 only and I'm with Spanner and I wouldn't pick him again.
Totally agree. At a pinch, maybe SPS ahead of Murphy - who should stop embarrassing himself and retire.
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17

They'll medical sub him there given those games count.

The boys look down and out, and I'm not sure what can snap them back into positivity. I can't see a win in this game, irrespective of venue, inclusions, coaches etc.

We CAN still get there, but we won't. Not if thats our new normal.
Technically, i'd allowed us to lose a game against the bottom 10 sides....maybe this was the one?
However, i did say all that before the review was announced.
I did also say that its all possible unless we implode.....and 24 hours later, bam.....review announced, Barker sacked and all hell breaks loose.

Like a few others I am regretting we didnt pick up Crocker mid season.....yep he could be just a very good VFL player but at the moment he is the best of those very good VFL players. Its Harry with Matt Owies at the moment down forward and nothing else.
Crocker would have been motivated and adds that bit of attitude we dont have....for a 10-12 game cheap trial it was the perfect situation. Honey and Carroll I would introduce into the team gradually and I'd be managing Eddie on weekly basis too as he is shot as far as being able to play 4 quarters of the old magic Eddie football anymore.
Keep Eddie in for the soft games like the Crows, North, GC etc but rest him vs the heavyweight teams...
Murphy will probably get the sub role in a few games as Jim suggested and then a full game for the 300 then told to pull the pin.
SPS is trade bait for a good Vic kid wanting back home from WA..give him a few games to fatten up his value but I'm over him..

I doubt he'd help us, in the VFL he defends and tackles well inside F50 but he's not big on getting up and down the ground, and I think AFL clubs would basically run him or run off him, add his slow leg speed to the already slow team and we'd be left even more outnumbered in our own D50.

I dont rate him as slow, one of Honeys goals in the VFL was the result of Crocker motoring away from opponents and giving Honey a joe the goose goal. He was originally a midfielder with Collingwood and is more mobile than most of our present forwards IMO.
His kicking for goal is also a lot better than most of our players and he would give us that inbetween matchup type player that most of the sides that torment our defense have.
