We need to learn from Judd and not bugger up Cripps either, the kid will be burnt out and a cripple if he keeps having to carry the team over the line....
Funnily enough...
I've always found it hard to be critical of Murphy. The introduction to senior football he was provided by the club, and his teammates in particular, was very much less than it could have been. The poor kid was targeted and knocked silly in his early days.
It's the problem we have when we call upon some players to carry more than their share. (Judd, Cripps.... even Weitering to some extent.) Some players carry the burden well, but it must have a debilitating effect as the years go by.
