him to just re-sign with us without exploring the market.
If no offer comes then he will re-sign with us but I think any finals bound team offering decent money will get his signature.....he will always be a Carlton player but
that extra money/finals will make him leave the fold for a couple of years IMO....
When he says he is focused on the return not the future then you know he is open and happy to leave for the right offer IMO...

Here I am thinking Murphy looks closer to retiring than he does being traded. He's had a very ordinary five years and has injured every limb on his body.
Lost a yard too.

He won our b&f last year and was super for the first half of the year

Call me naive but I would have liked our CAPTAIN to come out with a strong endorsement of the clubs future and his commitment to it. Whilst I don’t hold it against him for exploring options the fact this is playing out in the media is very disappointing particularly after the weekend we’ve just had. A little window into his MO and further evidence as to how poor a leader he actually is.

Thry, really?
Marc Murphy Stats
Whether you like him or not it's hard to call those stats for the last five years ordinary by any standard!

Pretty hard to disagree with this sadly.
Is it about him or about the Carlton Footy Club?

If you remove 2017 as the outlier that it has become, would you be comfortable throwing big dollars at him as a free agent?
He's played five games with an injury that will dog him for the rest of his career. Look at the period prior to 2013, and tell me he's anywhere near providing that for next season.

I don't think a 5pt statistical shift is significant by any means, and I fully expect that if Murphy's mindset is correct modern sports medical technology is more than adequate to extend his career significantly. He could easily become our next Jarryd Waite given the right environment, why not still at Carlton!
Certainly I think if Daisy can return to some decent form from his ills, so can Murphy.
So for me it's not about ability or output, the differences there are barely worth a mention, they can even be written off as a change of role. The real debate about the likes of Murphy, Rowe and Simmo is more of a philosophical issue!
