Just a bit of a wrap up for a guy who snuck off the rookie list and under everyone's guard.
In the midst of an incredibly tedious debate over whether Joel Selwood would be better than Marc Murphy, a table was put together comparing Murphy's debut 11 games to a list of previous debutants like Judd, Ball and Cooney -- based Finalsiren.com's rating system of average goals, disposals tackles etc.
While Murphy certainly compared very favourably, the interesting thing was a counter argument was floated pointing out the Cheynee Stiller equalled his rating for 11 games, and surpassed Murphy if you made the cut at 12 games (Murphy got injured in round 13).
For a guy who wasn't even our highest rated Rising Star, that's pretty impressive stuff. Ironically, it was the round 13 clash where Murphy got crunched that Stiller announced himself as a someone to watch by calmly slotting the winning goal after we'd kicked 7.22 or something similarly ridiculous.
Respect.
