I can't see Murph leaving the club, unless it's due to unusual circumstances e.g he has a major falling out with the powers that be.
No problems ...it could be read two ways.
I just wanted to clarify because I thought there might have been something in the Hun article suggesting an issue.

Is this a possibility ? As we've seen with Waite, he's alienated himself from the club he played most of his career at.....and for what ?. Is chasing a premiership in the last couple of years of your career worth it ? I don't know, that would be up to the individual I guess. Murph certainly wouldn't benefit financially from a move to a club in premiership contention. Could we afford to lose yet another senior player of his class for nothing ?
For mine, I hope he stays & gets the reward in the last year of his career similar to Shane Crawford !!!
cheers
I got the distinct impression that Waite left purely for $s and length of contract reasons. Became a bun-fight between him and MM but that was at the heart of it.

Murphy is a real tricky one.... some think he is a soft, weak player and leader, others think he is an undersized ball winner who has been battered from pillar to post.
I would not begrudge him leaving as he has given everything to the club but personally I don't think he would leave given that he has a fair few credits built up for sticking with it during some awful times. That said, coming to the end of his career, he may be looking for a sunset contract.
I would like the club to be in a position to play him in a forward pocket showcasing his smarts and ball use instead of trying to take on younger, faster mids 15-20 kg heavier. Unfortunately that's a luxury we just can't afford.
At the end of the day he is a senior player, of which we have few, and I doubt the "compensation" would be anything like his value to the club.

We need murphy playing a Jimmy Bartel role IMHO.
That is his best skillset. Playing around the stoppages, but not at the coal face.

Nah, this is all just The Hun Footy Editor in chief Mr Flubbo ordering a minion to stir up some crap up to distract the footy public from CheatsFC's latest set of disgraces!
Re: Reset Rants - Professer E - 05-08-2018
Agreed, its classic Flubbo deflection.
Re: Reset Rants - Micky0 - 05-08-2018
Agree.
I was gobsmacked when I saw the headline online. I thought, where have they pulled that from? Trying to either make more talk about us, when clearly we don't need anyone to keep talking about us, or deflection.
I doubt Murph would leave but who knows. I don't begrudge him anything, he has put in 100%.
Re: Reset Rants - LP - 05-08-2018
People will think it's all conspiracy, but behind the scenes there are some rumors surfacing about a split at CheatsFC, Worsfold versus the old world CheatsFC establishment. A war between CheastFC inbred royalty, the cockroach and the new CheatsFC order!
It's something we should keep a close eye on and learn from, if the rumors are true we do not want to go through this with the Silvagnis!
On behalf of the entire football public, I'd like to thank the Hirds, Thompsons, Watsons and Danihers for the gift that just keeps on giving! ;D
Re: Reset Rants - ElwoodBlues1 - 05-08-2018
Murphy is a poor kick, cant really work as an outsider anymore, we need OBrien/SPS doing that role, if he wants to go as a free agent and we get a decent 1st rounder as compo then its give me the paperwork and where do I sign.
We need to trade in two quality bigger built mids and since we have SFA to trade we need picks and Murphy leaving can help us.......
The Kreuzer, Gibbs, Murphy era is over and we need to let it go and cash in what we can....
