Marc murphy crictics ?

[djudd]

Where are all the Murph critics gone?.
Most of the experts gave him bog on thursday.Skills were great like 90% of the time.Critics on this forum bag him out if he misses a targett.Would u rather tambling instead>Dont forget all the kids make mistakes Kruz/Gibbs/delidio/palmer etc

The banana goal - absolute magic... embarrassed most Hawks, Bombers, Richmond etc. etc. fans who pay out his goal kicking.

 

[chelseacarlton]

i was'nt aware that there were any critics of murph amongst the faithful,apart from the odd dodgy kick to a target.
and yes that goal shows what he can do with the pill
not every kid can kick it like gibbs!!
never had an issue with murph apart from a little bit of man love

Murph is a CHAMP and since i have been here there has been some critics but not to many. Everyone is entitled to an Opinion though.

There is no doubt that Marc Murphy will be our next captain in my eyes with Gibbs his V/C. .

Come to think of it there was a thread on him a while ago saying he is not as good as what we all think. The thread starter must be very quiet at the moment!!!

He's quality. However, he still needs to work on set shots. He really started ripping it up when the game was effectively over already. He, like nearly every other kid, needs to improve on 4 quarter efforts.

Murphy has critics on this board?

Most of us have been realistic regarding his disposal - it has been poor at times. Was brilliant on the weekend though and if he keeps it there he might well move up into the elite bracket of midfielders by year's end.

He only really came out to play once we were well ahead of Bitchmond on the weekend.

 

[BlueBelle]

The only criticism I have on Murph's game is his goal kicking. His two goals on Thursday night were great. Hopefully he can be more consistent in this area throughout the season

 

[djudd]

Dont get me wrong.Murph is a star but not in the same league as the elite like-Gazza/Judd/harvey/Bartel/Hodgey/Mitchell etc.
But im glad hes on our team.

since were being asked upon, this is what i would have said. Note the 12 touch last quarter. Somehow he gets best ahead of players who did it when it was in the balance (hadley for me)

Definitely looked better however, and I do like him as a player. But it was only one game of good disposal.

Murf is a gun, at times his disposals can be suspect, but he is not scared of the hard ball and puts his body on the line very game. The umpires notice him and he is dangerous around goal. Yes he misses set shots sometimes, but would rather have him taking a shot from 40 out after the siren than someone like JR.

As long as his shoulders are straight when taking the kick. If he dips the left shoulder he will definitely miss.

It's only a question of when not if of when you can put in that same class.

 

[The Cranium]

He's certainly no JR......

 

[carltonfc4eva]

He definitely panics infront of the goals (I still have horrible nightmares about that handpass to fev in the goalsquare vs essendon last year)
But who would be a critic of him hes a great player and hes only played 3 seasons.

I actually believe that he is starting to feel more at home in the Carlton midfield, and there is less and less reliance on him nowdays. When he came to club, he had all this hype over him, and he was going to be the saviour.

Now that he has spent a year in the midfield with Judd, Gibbs has now come along way since he first came to the club, and Stevens continuing on his merry way, I think Murphy might finally think that a fair amount of pressure has been lifted off his shoulders.

Yes he does have a technical issue with his kicking, but you'd like to think that he can iron this out of his game, if he hasn't already. I thought he was our best on Friday night, and could have been his "coming out game".

I haven't caught a replay (Five, I'm lookin' at you - anyone would think you had other things to do) and the incident was at the very far end of the ground from where I was sitting. Didn't see it was MM - it just seemed to float on and on over a couple of opposition heads then drop gently into Eddie's lap. The handball.

Shameless self promotion - 4:00

I actually believe Murph's goal kicking is improving. Well I'm not 100% sure about his set shot yet as I haven't seen too many for a while, but in general I believe he is improving and will get better.

I seem to remember late last year vs the Lions, he kicked one or two very crucial goals when the game was in the balance in the last qtr. They were snaps I think, but were as classy as they come.

Whether it's this year or the next, I honestly believe he will surprise a lot of people, particularly opposition supporters who bag him. I'm just noticing certain parts of his game improving all the time. And you just gotta love his quick clean hands in tight

Some clear 'Diesel' mentoring going on there methinks.

Couple of little shuffles, spins and sidesteps there from one C Judd that would suggest things downstairs are very much on the mend.

A very different editing style. If that's your work - nice job. Smooth and no hanging. Thanks heaps.

Murphy's handpass to Betts was identical to Gibbs' pass to Waite in the square against the Tiggers.

Ohhhhh! Gibbs!

 

[Noodles 23]

I disagree slightly, Gibbs will be future captain and Murph will win a brownlow
