Looks like a broken collar bone for Murphy.

Murph's injury is a bit of a disaster by the looks. :sad:

how on earth are all the other clubs players e.g Sloan, developing better and quicker than ours... It's sh!tting me to tears. It's so hard being a Blues supporter.

Because we don't back our players in and develop them. We bring someone in and make them a defensive tagger.

Guys like Russell, Bower, Curnow, Armfield aren't up to it and we continue to play them.

As I have been. Saying for weeks it times to play Lucas, Bootsma, Watson, Buckley, Dale etc and back them in. It is the only way they and us as a team will improve.

I just left the ground. My GOD that was pathetic.

Somebody before mentioned a "dogs breakfast"? Well, your half right. We're a regurgitated dogs breakfast.

There was no structure at all in that seconds half. Why the @#$%&! is Eddie betts playing so far up the ground?
Russell & Gibbs = soft and careless. Pick you game up you bloody squibs!!!!!

Don't think we have enough contested players... getting smahed in contested football first from GWS then Saints and now Crows...I'm bamboozled.

Jacobs is killing Hampson and Krueze with the tap outs too -- not sure WFT is going on there.
Hampson marking has gone back to the bad old days. Does laser wear off?

Bloody oath, yes, I'd and a few more to the 'not up to it' list as well.

I don't know if I'll bother watching the 2nd half, if the players refuse to lift with the heat that's being applied then I've honestly got better things to do on my Sunday arvo.

Starting to wonder about heading down to watch the game next weekend, if I hadn't already reserved seats I'd change plans.

I have medallion club ticket to every game, happy to hand them out to friends. I go and see the blues next when Ratten is removed!

Put simply, average footballers playing to an average game plan equals a very average side.

of course they are structural

our structure looks like a dot to dot puzzle gone horribly wrong

we have plenty of talent on the park

Haven't you worked out that that is probably what we keep saying to ourselves? Overestimating your own worth is worse than underestimating the opposition.

What you need to say is that a bunch of plonkers on a website overestimate.

You wouldn't know what was being thought internally. So stop putting up that crap

We need a hard nut in the middle for the first 5-6 minutes of this half.
Maybe Armfield can go in and pinch hit in there.At least he will put his head over it.

bondiblue · **Posted:** Sun May 20, 2012 4:45 pm

It looked like a dog fight and then the dog with the biggest fight won with its bite.

I love the Blues but I have to say it doesn't look like we've got what it takes to get over a lot of teams this year.

I ask if we can find our mojo, but I don't think we have the guns......in this game.

Half Time...breather.

Will we come out fighting to win this game.
I reckon the Crows are tiring as much we are.
I'm hoping we can muster a few deprerate quik goals...just pure grit and desire.
The as the gap becomes a couple goals, we have lady luck bless our souls.

I'm sure we paid our dues when we copped th penalties in 2002.
What's this shit 10 years later?
No wonder Freo don't want to wait like Carlton have...because right this minute our strength is our weakness.
And yes, by coincidence it has been ever since the maiming of Carrozzo, but we've got others to take up the slack. Haven't we?

3 x No 1's Kreuzer Gibbs Murphy, the Best in the BIz Judd (embarassing kick 4 goal tho), a No 2 Walker and few more 1st rounders Yarran Russell Lucas McLean Henderson Watson...no excuse. Hughes, Ratten...can some one please pull us out of the mess we're in today?

5 goals down at 1/2 time......shit!!

Lets dig our way out this quarter not the last 5 minutes. COME ON!!!!!!!!

COME ON YAZZA!!!!!

Gibbs......if you want to show us something......this it!
