I'm not fussed either way, as long as if he does go we don't go and bring someone else in who would remove the compo. I would have no issue with bringing in Patton with those two picks if that's the way it plays out.
And Synners, you asked a while ago which player coaches would prefer of Gibbs and Murph. One of them has won a Coaches Award, in 2011 I believe. Does that answer the question for you?
2011 is 2011....
This is 2014... why not say double brownlow medalist juddy is who everyone would want right now...???
one of the problems with people is they do not understand things for what they are......
Ha! The point being, that coaches obviously rate the way Murphy plays. He won that award in a year Dane Swan won the brownlow and Judd had a better year than his own Brownlow in 2010. He had a season of consistently great football, something Gibbs is yet to do.
I think if a coach backed himself to get Gibbs to play to his ceiling, he might take him over Murphy. However I think that most coaches would rather have Murphy's more consistent level and bank that over wondering which Gibbs was going to turn up each week.
I also think you are selling Murphy very short in this discussion.
youre talking 2011 again.....
it was a very good year... it was a very good year
When I was running around untagged
It was a very good year
It was a very good year for small town carlton mids
And soft winter nights
Wed hide from the MCG lights
On the village green
When it was 2011
When it was 2014
But now the days grow short
Im in the autumn of the year
And now I think of my life as on old cask wine
from fine old kegs
from the brim to the dregs
And it poured bitter and piss beer
It was a very not a good year
Actually ... youre talking baloney...!!!
