It is interesting to see the media playing up Murphy's performance. Might be just simple laziness in looking at the stats and saying "27 possessions = played well" but more likely that spin is coming from the club which makes me think Murphy might be getting a call up. SPS on his last quarter would deserve one too - but was the last quarter the abberation or were the preeeding 3? I'd serious;y think about telling him to turn up in the 1st next week and bring that last quarter effort and save your career. Honey keeps putting his hand up. I presume Parks will be an out and hopefully Plowman will be fit to replace him - otherwise the cupboard seems a bit bare, maybe Williamson but he didn't greatly impress me yesterday (or generally this year), maybe Kemp but I think he needs another couple of weeks in the 2s. As for other outs maybe Eddie is needing a rest soon but I wouldn't be doing it for an Adelaide game. Martin I am a fan of but if he doesn't bring more intensity than yesterday he can be made an example of. Newnes could be given a run in the 2s not as a demotion but in recognition of his lack of game time. You could make an argument for a few others but for a combination of reasons I suspect they will survive.
If it were me I'd have Plowman in for Parks and Honey as sub for Newnes, but I suspect Murphy will get a gig.
