He should know his midfield role like the back of his hand, and getting sucked into a midfield contest is either him taking the onus onto himself to leave the role he was assigned in an effort to fix what someone else is doing wrong or deciding that defending wasn't his go, with the only other option being, that this is what he thought he was supposed to do.
Wasn't the debate about Marc Murphy making a mistake playing as a permanent defender?
I suppose there are levels of tolerance, but I do wonder how many games Mitch Robinson had played in the ruck when he punched that ball over the goal line? However, if he had repeated it over and over again! :o
I'd expect Murphy to learn faster than a newbie, but I don't expect him to be another Brian Lake or Sam Docherty overnight!
