I never said they would swap him but i do disagree with you. Murphy is a star. BJ is a very good player who is struggling badly. The worst part is he looks so slow.
BJ is and has only ever been a 'very good player'? Are you serious?
Murphy is a good player, no argument. But I disagree with you on who is the better player when they are in form.
I am 100% serious.
Interesting....
So he has clubs willing to pay him mega bucks because he is only a 'very good' player?

Do I need say more than Ward and Scully.
Ward and Scully were drafted on their 'potential'. BJ is being hunted for his proven ability. He is not just a number 1 draft pick with only 2 years in the game. He is a 27 year old that is a proven star. After this long in the game, he would not be offered mega bucks like those 2 for potential only (at almost 28 years of age, it would be a little late for that). He is being offered big money on his proven stature and ability in the game.
Doesn't play with the same spirit / passion that we expect from Brendon Goddard. The way he's just going through the motions this year really makes me think that it's probably his last year in the red, white and black. It's fair enough if he has decided to go, he's probably struggling to get himself up again this year after having almost got to the top of the mountain so many times now....he probably needs to start fresh somewhere else. It will be a sad day if/when BJ decides to go but I just hope we get adequate compensation for him.
I know the players are professionals but I think some are still affected, though some more than others from the GF losses. Who can blame them, I am still broken hearted and I am only a supporter. I can't help but think that BJ especially is having trouble getting over the disappointment. Some other senior players I think have come to accept that the chances of wining a premiership are not great now and are playing out their careers. Champions like Lenny who bleed red white and black, I reckon the fire never goes out. BJ though also a great St Kilda man, might be thinking a new start may be the best option.
Good players like Goddard are capable of making themselves look good on the stats sheet and he is further helped by the position he plays and yesterdays game proves that.
It all comes to a head this weekend. 200 games, normally a massive celebration for a club champion and recognition of a decade of quality. But it is surrounded by this innuendo about his state of mind and his future. I am very interested to see how people talk about him this week.
STRENGTH THROUGH LOYALTY.

Should that happen, I'd take the extra salary cap space and a suitable draft pick/exchange of draft picks. Do NOT want Hansen or ANY of their rucks - yes that includes Kruiser and Warnock!
In fact, thinking about it, Murphy aside, I don't think I'd want anybody from Carlton's list. They are all either over paid +/- over hyped +/- mentally soft front runners, or merely GOPs. So definitely, salary cap space and draft pick/s from Carlscum, not players.
HANSON
you have to be kidding me. im not at all against trading bj for top 10 pick or a gun player.
But not Hanson FFS! With a fit Rhys/Roo/Ben - Hanson would not get a game in our 22.
