Hip surgery has robbed Murphy of punch
''It was something from last year,'' Murphy said yesterday. ''I was just getting referred pain in the groin. I couldn't get any continuity in my training.''

''I was kicking more goals last year and having more impact. But I suppose coming from hip surgery in January and not having a pre-season, I think I've done pretty well.

''The last month has been better, kicking a goal a game and getting 25-30 [disposals]. I'm coming into some decent form at the right time.''

The final frontier for Marc Murphy
"I didn't have a great preparation this year," Murphy said.

"I'm just starting to get my run back again now."

"I struggled to get out there for every session for the first 14 games," he said. "I would only go out there for a bit and do a few run-throughs. If it wasn't one thing, it was another. But I'm feeling a lot fresher now and it's starting to show in my game."

Harvey agreed. "It did affect him early on, but his last month has been as good as any player," he said.

"He is running much better as the year has gone on and that's surprised us a little because he didn't do a pre-season.

"His work ethic has allowed him to get through. He is at the stage where we now consider him in the elite running bracket of the AFL."

Robbo has definatly taught Murphy to tackle properly. Just brilliant!
 
Happy to have Murph back as my buddy for the 2011 season and by all reports is having a great pre season after an unsettled one last year recovering from minor hip problems that seemed to plague Marc during the season.

Who's burning: Long-time fitness fanatic Andrew Walker continues to lead the way in pre-season time trials, but Mitch Robinson, Robbie Warnock, Chris Yarran, Marc Murphy and Bryce Gibbs have all caught the eye with some personal best efforts.

Murph's Stats for the 1st Rd of the NAB Cup V's Richmond.

Kicks. 6

Handballs. 5

Disposals. 11

Marks. 1

Tackles. 4

Goals/Behinds. 0/1

Marc did not play in the second game against the Pies and he was quite good against Richmond with some telling possessions that really were the reason we kicked away from the Tigers after a slow start. A few mistakes were committed as you would expect this early on but the overall signs were excellent and Murph looks the goods early on. :thumbsu:
 
Is it just me or does murph looked bulked up a little? I know he was never exactly a skinny guy but now he looks like a force IMO
As for the comment re: gws, stay positive man..I'd hate to see him go (gf would be distraught). I hate this poaching bs
 
Marc Murphy to stay true Blue in Carlton deal
"Of course I do, it's a great club and we're getting a group now which can push for premiership success over the next few years," he said.

"We've been through some pretty tough times and we're now getting some blokes in place, and also the structure with our coaches.

"I'm looking forward to being part of the club in the years ahead."

"My manager (Paul Connors) is talking to the club at the moment, so the ball is in their court, but right now I'm just worried about getting through pre-season."

"There's plenty of unfinished business here as far as I'm concerned."

Handing Murphy back to Chism may have paid off...

I am absolutley convinced that Murphy is injured someway.

During the Carlton vs. Adelaide game at VISY two weeks ago ... he walked off the ground and into the club rooms just before half time .. very, very slowly with a strange look on his face.

He didn't play after half time, and was "rested" for the game last Saturday against Geelong and isn't training.

I think he's hurt.
 
Your powers of deduction serve you well there C4!

Somethings not right with Murph and no surprise that little has come out from the club
 
IIRC Murph got hammered a fiar bit in the Adelaide game......perhaps he copped a knock that has caused a niggle??
