Pure speculation but there was an article in one of the papers about Murphy weighing up whether to continue in 2022.
Clearly the club has no desire to have him on the list next year

None
Does that matter
I posted what I think

on the scg that could bounce through for a goal!!

There is no way Jones goes anywhere near buddy !!

Buddy would be laughing all the way to 1000 goals ...

A big bloke who can take a grab deep is gold at the SCG................we look weird on paper i agree but its gonna work.A big win to the Blues for mine with Levi to star.

So does anyone disagree that it was Murphy’s best game last week of the year?

And we omit him.

I’m confused

Levi, in form, is a huge in at the SCG.

Swans defense is not tall.

Obviously something Teague wants to exploit

We have been officially told we staying in Sydney for a week. Playing West Coast at the SCG too.

Plenty of other times the past couple of years where Murphy probably deserved to be dropped to 'make a statement' (although I assume he'll be the sub this week), yet they pick the week after he was actually pretty good

I remember a game in 1997 when carlton played at the scg.
Kerna at CHF.
Ball went over his head every time we won the centre clearance.
We lost that game by 10 goals.
I lost all my bets.

We just didn't adjust.

Maybe 10 years ago, no later, the length of the SCG was increased by 10 metres.
SCG playing area is now 155 x 136.
Similar to Gabba and Metricon in QLD

The dome is 160 x 129
The MCG is 161 x 138

Its not too small anymore
But it is the shortest by 1 metre

Yes I have been to a footy game or 2 in
My life.
The question is how as a club do we get better on field
At the moment there is a reasonable sample size from 10 games that we haven’t gone anywhere in the last 2 years.
A guy gets 18 or so possessions a week as a wing/ half forward doesn’t have a real physical presence about him and has been like that for a long time.
He is nearly 34
In the past decade I thought Gibbs and Murphy should have been dropped because they were basically downhill skiers.
As I said the pressure you exert on the opposition when they have the ball is crucial


What has helped Murphy get games is our crap depth
When was the last time we had a decent reserve team with a dozen or so players putting selection pressure on the seniors

Look at last week
You only mount a case for Honey
Kemp needs at least a month to 6 weeks of footy before being considered

KK the other thing about Murphy is he is a nice player
He doesn’t have enough shit in him
Owies and Cottrell from my observations have a bit of mongrel something this club desperately needs more of

And now we are apparently staying up in Sydney to play West Coast next week at the SCG...

On the upside Eagles likely to be without Tim Kelly or Oscar Allan

Bondi,Swans are a young side.Reckon they would be due to fall off the cliff anytime soon.
