Deep in the last quarter everyone is still battling their guts out - he's already clearly switched off mentally. We've done enough to win so I'll start to cheat out the back and throw a few millionaire kicks in.
It only annoyed me because I was so keen for us to kick 100+ but it was so obvious. One forward 50 entry he just threw the ball onto his boot - went absolutely nowhere near his target. Under limited pressure it just illustrated that he was done for the day and couldn't care less. I'm glad he ran hard today but a good player just wouldn't do that.
Wasnt as bad as The Dow kick in the last quarter, had to hit a target on the run about 15m and missed by a mile....be a real good player if he could kick well...
Murphy will and is being phased out by Fisher, Walsh and SPS who are doing the heavy lifting now, he is still handy as a running mid but is more of a plan B rotation than
a main act.
