In Game Assignations: AFL Rd 11 : Carlton vs. West Coast Eagles

[chalkybill]

Without using the derogatory language, Spanner is correct.  Murphy is finished as an on baller at AFL level.  His body is gone,  he's got little left.  He's not making clearances, there's no effective  defensive effort and at times hes little more than a traffic cone as far as the opposition are concerned.   


When he tackles, and that's rarely, it's with one arm.  Gets knocked off the ball and falls over a lot,  gets caught all the time, looks slow.... It's time for a kid to step up. Thanks Marc,  but time's up.

        Yes Murp. has had it but not because of a lack of skill or heart but because the game has changed.  He was an outside mid but the game now only uses inside mids who bullock their way through and he is not built that way.  Yes he may not prove to be overly useful these days but  please recognise his history and his contribution to the club over the years.
