So you’d be happy if we win next week against Gold Coast and then have to play Port to keep our finals chances alive with a half baked Murphy incapable of running out a game and in horrible form to be picked in the starting line up and expected to play the full game ahead of someone else?
Or he may decide to pull the pin himself and go out without the mockery milestone game. I never thought that was a chance and it's still likely not, but seeing how pathetic he looked last night may change his mind. He would have touched the ball 10 times I reckon yet only had 4 posses in a half. Was so slow and easily tackled it was sad. Hard to remember how good he was way back when.
I think if he was going to do that he would have by now. But totally agree with you and would hope he put the team before his own numbers. For me he and his leadership has been apart of the issue with our club for a long time now. Why do we have so many that don't chase don't tackle and seem to only ever seem worried about their own stat's?? In my opinion it's the standard this fella has set for years
Agreed, it's just last night he looked worse than he ever has which made me think it's a chance. He seemed even more checked out than normal. Probably wishful thinking given the charade has been playing out for 2 seasons at least.

Too me it looks like he thinks his above the sub role and even the way he sits there on the bench just gets under my skin he should be a leader and talk to the young
I feel alot of it goes down to attitude! And for me the MC need to realise this man has had his day in the sun and you have players actually playing for their careers who deserve a game before him
He clearly has body issues as does Cripps Silvagni and others .
As long as he doesnt get injured properly that prevents him playing he will play his 300th .
Damn I wish that goal was the matchwinner a la Freo. Wouldn't have changed anyone's minds but at least he'd have earned his pay.
You might wanna try harder then.
Agree but we know thats not how things work at Carlton and hasnt done for a very long time .
I think we are saying the same thing in that no matter which way you look at it (injury/poor form) he has been the 23rd man picked for the last two weeks and has shown absolutely nothing to suggest he deserves an elevation into the starting 22. Should we keep our finals hopes alive next week by beating Gold Coast and Murphy is sub again what possible justification will there be to elevate him into the starting line up for a crunch game against Port? It’ll basically be akin to playing short one player for the entire match, essentially putting getting him to 300 ahead of a chance to make the finals. I’d imagine if we lose to Port and he does absolutely nothing it’ll long be remembered for all the wrong reasons.
