Are they an A-Grader?

[Master Q]

Well i was watching on the couch last night and they were talking about A-Grader players, And then i thought about Carlton. Judd the Obvious but then I though about Murphy and Gibbs. I know their not very old but still.
This is a serious conversation so no stupid comments or cheap shots (Cooolingwood Supporters.)

So do you think Murphy and/or Gibbs are A-Grade Players?

[Justin Bieber]

Murphy should be. Gibbs still needs some more experience into him. Maybe next year he could comsidered an A grader.

Judd and Murphy the A graders but reckon Gibbs and Simpson are B graders.

[Master Q]

Should Be? As in, In the future?

[Justin Bieber]

Murphy is one now. Was very consistent last year.

Gibbs and Simpson should be next year if they keep on improving.

yeah. Stanton a B grader due to the fact he can't handle a tag. Fletch is gaining in age and is a former A grader.

Think Pears is a future A grader though :D

Fletch, Former Best FB in Comp for me. Stanton DT gun but not actual footy.

Does Krooze have a future?

Oops, I forgot to answer the Carlton question:

Judd and Murphy only A-graders, Gibbs is B+

Kruez does have a good future. If he keeps working on his ruck game, he will certainly be one...... in 3 or 4 years ;D

Judd A+, Murphy A-, Gibbs B+, Simpson B+

Murphy has a 'minus' cos he hasn't proven himself in finals yet.

[Master Q]

Judd A+, Murphy A-, Gibbs B+, Simpson B+

I think he was saying that Murphy has just become an A Grader, so he is an A-

I agree with those assessments.

Knock Simpson down to a B. hasn't done as much as the other guys and this is his best year by far. Flies under the radar a bit too much
