If it's on the replay I'll try to get some clips up so we can see it.
I recall twice in the space of 5 mins that we kicked the ball over his head when Freo had a run on, both times the ball pitched in between sMurph and Freo opponents.
On the first occasion I think the bounce favoured the Freo player who took the ball and was then tackled front on by sMurph.
The second time I think the bounce went straight up and the Freo opponent was being wrestled by a Carlton player coming the same way(SoJ?) and sMurph tried to tap the ball sideways to nearby team-mate.
I wouldn't call either shirking the contest.
Perhaps the fans have been drinking too much of Malthouse's bathwater after he labelled sMurph soft during the week. All that media commentary proves is Malthouse is weak as piss and doesn't stand by his own words of having the players back!
