I'll take Pendlebury - I don't think I've seen Murphy break a game apart when he needed to.

Pendlebury's the more complete player. Murphy's a bit of a frontrunner.

there was an exact same thread about this 4 weeks ago, im to biased to give an honest opinion, ill say pendlebury but its very close, selwoods not as far ahead as most people think either IMO, selwood probably gets less attention from the oppostion than pendles and murphy for obvious reasons.
the poll shouldve been pendles, murph and selwood IMO.
all very even, all midfielders and all very different, pendles is more the soft dancing good in traffic type, murphs more the hard running attacking mid and selwoods the tough tackle breaking mid, all have good skills and no team would swap one for the other, thats how even they are IMO, FTR id go for selwood, but not by a lot, pendles second (biased)

Good poll, both excellent young players.
I'll go with Pendlebury right now, although Murphy is a great goalshark an is still improving.
Give it until they're both 25 before we can really judge who's better.

Good post. 2 very good players.
im leaning towards murphy as he is more consistant and a proven goal sneak, however pendlebury is an exelent footballer i would just like to see hom back a few good games up

More consistent at what, kicking goals?
beez
A*mazing
It's neck and neck for me, if Pendles gets rid of his mo', he hits the lead.
Mike Sheehan had Murphy one spot ahead of Pendlebury in his top 50. That's good enough for me 
Some 2009 stats:
Murphy
Disposals - 588 (25.6 per game)
Marks - 107 (4.7 per game)
Tackles - 89 (3.9 per game)
Goals - 31 (1.3 per game)
Pendlebury
Disposals - 542 (25.8 per game)
Marks - 105 (5 per game)
Tackles - 69 (3.3 per game)
Goals - 8 (0.4 per game)

Pendlebury is the better player, and has the ability to change the momentum of games that Murphy lacks.
Also, his ball use is much, much better.

Disagree.
Murphys 23 possession 4 goal effort against North in round 18, 2009 (Simpsons last game) was definitely the difference between Carlton winning and losing.
Nothing much between the two players.
I voted for Murphy.
I'm guessing you included Pendlebury's game against Sydney where he was injured in the opening minutes without recording a single stat? As well as the final against St Kilda where he was also injured in the opening minutes after collecting just four touches?
Take both out of the equation and just take into account games where he played for more than a few minutes and.....

As far as the midfield battle between the two is concerned your really splitting hairs. Murphy is better at the stoppages, but only just. Pendles looks better around the ground, but once again, only just.
The only area i can split them significantly is up forward where murphy is far more damaging.
All this being said, aesthetically, i do enjoy watching pendlebury play. Has an elegance about him.

Pendlebury is a far better clearance player than Murphy. Murphy has more of a chance at being better around the ground.

i think murphy kicks more goals but id love to see how many goals murphs opposite numbers kicked on him compared to pendlebury, i reckon it would be telling, pendlebury runs both ways like all the collingwood mids do.
+ This +
If you voted for Pendlebury, you are either r****ed or have a serious case of deep seeded Carlton penis envy.

typical carlton nob overrating his own players, pick who ever you like, but either way there isnt much in it, if you think there is then your the one whos r****ed.

And this is of course a totally unbiased opinion.Realistically there's not much between them, I'd like to see Pendles kick a few more goals and be a little more attacking, but I think he has the edge over Murphy in a lot of other areas. Hard to split them really.
