Murphy...n.p
Hands off the gibba.

Make Gibbs Capitano.


Agree 100%

It's year 3 and Murph still can't handle the captaincy. Hasn't played more than half a dozen good games since 2012.

Sell now. He'll be past it when rebuild is over. And he's not exactly going to provide stellar leadership through the rough times ahead and a young list.

But the club doesn't have the balls to admit making Murph captain was a **** up and certainly doesn't have the balls to take it off him give it to Gibbs (or even Simmo for a few years like Bob murphy) and trade him.

They'll take the easy way out and trade Lach.

Probably BS but there is a rumour on the North board on BF that Murphy wants out and wants to get traded to North.
I know i shouldnt even look at BF but you have to wonder if there may be some small amount of truth to the rumour.



When it comes to bf rumours I don't have to wonder about the possibility of it being true ...ever.

They do get the odd one right.


I guess they do have a better record than your Essendon* connection :lol:

Gibbs, trade him and get his inconsistent efforts out the door. He is a major part of all our false sense of what was achievable success.

He talks the talk but plays like a fairy in the middle. He is a good player with ball in hand when he is in space but midfield is not his go, that would require desire to be the best, motivation to be the best and ruthless aggression. He is good outside player that it play him off half back all in the forward line and then see what he is worth.

Sloane is not more talented than Gibbs but is a genuine ball player and what he lacks in talent he makes up for with utter desire and determination.

Gibbs sucked us all in by winning the BnF last year and stuck us with a huge 5 year contract.

Trade him to Port he'll add value to them, the less accountable he is the better he'll play they have a lot of great players his importance will not be as heavily reliant as he needs to be for us to be a successful side.

Get Ollie Wines in the swap and start building with somebody who gives effort 100 percent of the time.

Watch how Gibbs jogs backwards once the ball slightly passes him he plays with zero intensity and it creeps through the side when he is last year best and fairest.

Thomas is a big loss because his tackling and effort is infectious, Gibbs has never inspired by his effort, sublime talent but not the talent that will get us where we need to be.

I hope he proves me wrong.


I am with you, he has the most currency and his b & f win last year means nothing.

For the right trade ie both Crouch brothers, he should go.

I can't imagine Gibbs inspiring much of anything.

We really want to be a melb fc for yrs n yrs? Why get rid of the only guy in a few yrs that shows leadership.

If he is a leader that explains why we are in the position we are in, where the team folds when the going gets tough.

Do you really see Gibbs as a leader? Who would he inspire? Shit we are in bigger trouble than I thought if Gibbs is the only guy of late to show leadership.

He has the most currency and I can't see him delivering anything over the next 5 years for Carlton that we wouldn't be better trading for.

Gibbs and Murphy have been massive disappointments for Carlton.

Fyfe has done more than half the comp put together, bit unfair to compare them to a guy who's on track to be an all time great.

But I get what you are saying.

Watch Gibbs effort in the F50 and then read my post about trading him.

Put Sloane in that same spot and he kills himself trying to win that footy for his side.

Gibbs is purely an outside player.

He should never play in the middle unless he is given a tagging role.

Play him off the foward flank and hope he can get some easy football and use his skills under little pressure.

When the going get tough Gibb does not get us going.

Exactly, happened right infront of me! Had to go down for it to keep that ball in the forward 50. Might have hurt like hell maybe but it was a 1%er that had to be done. Gibbs pulls back & the pressure is released.

We have far too many of his sort of gutless lack of caring girly efforts. Obviously this is the coaching and culture, we take talented kids and screw them up and split out duds.

We need to stop that, set a tough example and back it up with actions regardless of who it is infringing

What a frustrating footballer this guy is, as much as Im not a big fan off Carazzo, White, Ellard, Rowe and there are others their attack on the ball and the opposion can not be questioned - IF only Bryce could have the same approach I think he would be the complete footballer. This why he isnt considered as an A grader - has the talent to be an All Australian, not sure he has the desire or hunger for it.

Look I've not been happy with his output this season, but he has had a shoulder injury and he did just have a career best season.

Doesn't mean it doesn't hurt him. That kind of pain would slow any one down. That being said, perhaps he should be rested or played differently if that's an issue.

Come on guys we have no bloody depth for crying out loud. Whats Gibbs, and Murphy for that matter supposed to do?

You slot either of them into Hawthorn or Sydney and you'd be dead set spewing at what you'd see.

They are not supermen, and last time I checked it was a team sport. Not even the great man Judd can do much without player depth at the club.

This is what Malthouse & Co have been trying to do, add some depth to the playing list.

Once Gibbs and Murphy have the proper support, you'll see what their capable of. Until then, they will be no use to us battered, and broken, so injury ridden - then what?

And it sure aint their fault our recruiting of players to build up around them has absolutely sucked. But its all Gibbs and Murphys fault? Get real.
