This should be the last year for Murphy, MBoyd and Morris

[boydogs]

He made a real blunder last night handballing to Williams who was covered by GC, and the ball was turned over and they got an easy goal

If it was Matty Boyd not Williams, he wouldn't have turned it over. Boyd 36 touches in the VFL, Williams two critical turnovers (that one and a HTB in the pocket) leading to goals. Boyd with his strength, hands and game sense would have gotten the ball away, or maybe he would never have taken possession in the first place

We all love Williams' evasion and foot skills, but he's not a hardened warrior yet

Of the three veterans, I feel Bob is the one that is moving nicely. He still has some pace, and kicks the ball well when he is on. He made a real blunder last night handballing to Williams who was covered by GC, and the ball was turned over and they got an easy goal. That doesn't happen all the time.

I think the thing that has stopped Bob from performing better this year, is the injuries he has had.

It is going to be a tough call by the club if these guys all want to play on.

Completing agree with this post. Severe overreactions to Bob making a couple of blues...literally a couple. Has been working through injuries and also playing a variety of roles during the last two weeks. He is only down on 'Bob form', its far from disasterous and him being "cooked" (hate that term being used about players).

I haven't landed on a strong opinion either way on Bob's future, or Dale's - but injuries to both during this season have had an impact.

Some people have short memories. Wasn't it Bob who really sparked our revival against Brisbane and was also pivotal in our great win against Sydney? I thought his form was pretty good up until his injury. I prefer to wait until the year is over before offering an opinion on their futures. There is still a lot of football to be played.

Just mentioned on fox footy , Morris out for 4-6 but wants to go on and the club are keen for him to go on .

Good.

[Happy Days]

I'm fine with Morris going on. He's gotten himself into the best physical shape of his life, and wasn't as bad as advertised this season. We need his type as well, and re-generating just to re-generate never works anyway.

[MrMahatma]

My attempt of the order of the guys who offer us least going forward
1- Hamilton
2- M.Boyd
3- Morris
4- Bob
5- Clay
6- Honeychurch


Feel like Clay and Honey have enough upside to have turning over at least 3 be a factor in whether we keep Bob or Moz. Maybe Honey or Clay could go onto rookie list though.

Didn't Smith sign a 1 year extension earlier this year?

Certainly did.

Matthew Boyd not turn it over? Boyd brings plenty but he is a turnover machine at times

Watch the next two plays from 4:30 of this video and tell me Matty Boyd wouldn't have tapped it on, or gotten more of a handball away

How is anyone going to learn to do those things if they don't get experience in playing?

Moyd has consistently shown this year that he is well past his best

Unless Moyd has undergone radical surgery to put eyes in the back of his head I'd say he's likely to have turned over one if not both of those.

Very harsh on Williams

Williams is 19 years old compared to 35 years old.

Williams is 19 years old compared to 35 years old.

It's not about age it's about form.

[Bulldog Revolution]

Good call. Maybe Peter Foster shades him but Peter Foster was a superstar.

I like many others loved Fossie, but IMO Morris has him covered because of the longevity of his career, and his efforts in 2016 were truly the stuff of legends

Yep, definitely the sort of thing that comes with experience

I brought it up to say you can't just blame Murphy for that goal. His options dried up, Williams probably should have done better with it than he did
