... Actually had something nice to say!

http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/st ... 70,00.html
Quote:
Carlton has the youngest list in the competition. Marc Murphy is the club's playmaker yet is a teenager in his second year of the competition. He has played just 13 games after a shoulder injury forced him out of the last nine games of his debut year.

Murphy does not play the same game as most other league players. They are constrained by rules, set plays and a standard imagination. Murphy plays a much simpler game for he knows where the ball is heading as though he has lodged its flight plan before the game. So he takes the shortcut to fetch it, then finds the best player to deliver it to and does it in the most effective manner. Few footballers can deconstruct a passage of play so beautifully. Don't take your eyes off him.

A bit late now Fatprick - @#$%&! off our bandwagon right now matey and go and stick your nose up Kevin Sheedy's arse. :evil:


Probably heard a rumour that "VisyBoard" were going to make a move under the new Media Ownership laws to buy "The Australian" - but dont waste your time Fatprick - they only want to buy it and use the unsold back copies as shredded paper for packaging. :roll:

Actually Hairthorn have the youngest list. Patrick is a typical dumbarse journalist who doesn't do his homework.

Exactly Agro. He's not telling us anything we don't know already. No room on the bandwagon for you Fatty!

Norrmally I'm the forgiving type. This is one guy I'll make an exception for.

Had every opportunity to write an article about Carlton's turnaround recently but chose to go with one this week on how Richmond are turning things around. His reference to Carlton in that one was his stock standard 'village idiot' line.

quite right Agro.

perhaps, "keep your nose up Sheedy's Arse", fits more with his hitroy and positioning.

That stat shits me. Clarkson was spruiking it yesterday. Most lists in the comp would probably be 100 days apart on average, it's meaningless. Wallace also spruiked it the other day on AW, Sheahan bit back with "they're young Terry, but can they actually play?" Good point.

I agree this guy is a flower, having said that his points made about Murph really hit home!!!! This kid is the best thing to happen to this club in about 10 years I reckon, if Smith admits he is a special player, perhaps it isnt just me looking through blue coloured glasses...he is SSSPPPEEECCCIIIAAALLL!!!

I'd be willing to rent an apartment in the Eureka Tower for Fatprick if that was the case.

Smith is a typical journalistic starf****r.

But his assessment of Marc Murphy is eloquent - and accurate. :-D

The only clever line he ever wrote was in his 1995 Grand Final review, when he said "Mensch Bench".

He's just a very silly man who happened to get very very lucky and become a journalist.

Otherwise he would be doing something else like working in a 7 11 or driving a forklift.

The 30-day mourning period for St Ron must have ended.

I'll take all the positive spin and positive media exposure we can get.

I appreciate more good articles from Fatprick.

But in my heart, AFAIC he can go and get stuffed!!

He has alot of catching up to do to make up for all that mud slinging!

Fatprick!

We make our own waves...he just follows the bandwagon....sucked up in our groundswell.

Fatprick!
