Do know someone who was at Hawthorn, and can’t speak highly enough of Murphy. Food for thought. The knee jerk reaction is ‘sack Murphy’. Problem likely much more nuanced though.

Exactly it could be he felt fine trained well then in the next 24 hours didn’t feel quite right and decided not to risk it. That would be appropriate management. The second option is he did it again and fitness staff should be questioned yet again. Let’s see what happens over the next few days. I hope its the first scenario that has played out.

Parish is aware ……that Murphy is a fool

The rubbish on here at an injury…not sure if you’ve all noticed that players from other clubs get injuries too. I know, crazy! But it’s "this club is %@*^, “why don’t we just fold the club” etc etc. If you are so triggered by a bloke with a hammy watch swimming or something

It’s the way that the club handles it. Yes every club gets injuries. Hardly any club either mismanaged them or plays the lame game of cloak and daggers around them as much as we do.

We’ve changed the person in that role so many times it’s probably time to accept that’s not the cause of the problem.

This.
But I would add, there is also responsibility on the player to do required rehab. Daniher didn’t, so criticism shouldn’t be directed at the club only in his case.
Will play round 3 not point rushing him in Sydney
whoa whoa whoa … we don’t do those reasonable and balanced takes round these parts

One game into the season which just happened to be a win against Hawthorn,
and this is the crap you come up with.
It’s pathetic.

Oh absolutely there is. But when you list a player who is either fit, then re-did his hamstring, OR, you weren’t 100% whether he was fit enough then listed him anyway in the hope he may be fit to play… just speaks to nonsensical management that led to Zach Reid not being able to be ruled out despite copping a 6 week hammy.
there is so much ■■■■ about this club. Noting runs as it should. it needs a complete overhaul, or nuke. start all over again.

I’m just stick of it being the same old story every year.
Early Feb we were looking in reasonable shape in terms of the injury list. As the match play started to ramp up it feels like it’s been one thing after another.
We can just never build any consistency with the ‘best’ 22.
I’m over the frustration, over the waiting, over knowing how this season turns out, over us looking slower in transition to defence than most, over the poor list management, over the poor injury management.

Since you are over it… any chance you could tell me what’s on the other side.

All will probably be forgiven if we look good against Sydney tomorrow but geez I’ve looked at some teams this year and thought that they are playing a different and better game than what we served up round 1

See ya.
There are other options out there to focus on, instead of dwelling on negativity.
Just one example being the breakout game of Archie Perkins in round 1.
I’ll be fascinated to see whether he doubles up against the Swans.
Many more to choose from.
All that ‘I’m over’ stuff is quite frankly the stuff of tedious supporters.

Really?
IMO most of the games have been pretty low skill wise with a lot of turnovers, missed kicks, poor decision making and low quality games. Still entertaining but not many of the games have been any better than the game we played.

Oh for sure, Archie definitely had me up and about during the week
Parish selection and withdrawl was just a heartless way to screw with me though
… And yet I know I’ll keep coming back for more
