He's still accumulating the ball at a good rate.
His body (upper body in particular) is probably pretty close to being a 'shot unit'
I blame that in a large part to some of the pathetic support he received from team-mates in his younger years.
My concerns with Murphy at the moment is his disposal (47% last night), especially by foot.
Some of his turnovers can be costly.
But last night he wasn't Robinson Crusoe.
Look at the Disposal Efficiency for everyone last night from the AFL stat site .... It's very poor (sure, weather was a factor)

Lod's I think that is it personally, if Murphy is going to play on, his disposal has to be better than it is, he has to be that nice ball user, and deliver and hurt the opposition. There is no reason he cannot do that. Higgins would have hit targets last night and we probably would be a goal or two better for having him deliver the ball.
