Re: NAB Challenge: Carlton vs. Sydney at Etihad - PaulP - 03-02-2016
Murphy's too small to be played as inside mid / 1st receiver.
Needs to be played as more outside / 2nd receiver, as he was in 2011.

Wrong. He kicks more goals with an attacking gameplan, hence his figures under Ratts were far better (other than 2012 when he missed a large chunk of games).

Agree Murphy is a potential all australian wingman. Mediocre midfielder.

I think the terminology and nomenclature for field positions in AFL isn't as precise as it could be.
If you use the diagram from Wikipedia :
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_rules_football_positions
I would say the real inside mids are only the centre, rover and ruck rover. Basically the first receivers, which is not suited to Murph IMO.

Winger is more a flanker type, not sure wing is really a position now.
Re: NAB Challenge: Carlton vs. Sydney at Etihad - PassIt2Carrots - 03-02-2016
Not even sure if flank is a position either TBH.

Yes, he wasn't suited to MMs body wrestling the ball around the boundary for 120 mins game plan.

Ah yes - 2012, the annus horribilis that really wasn't.
