Recommitted Marc Murphy [re-signed]

Remember that ground ball he dove in on against Dangerfield and broke something. Not soft.

The exact moment his career went on the decline. Sad.

He's done a few soft things, but he's put his slight frame on the line multiple times over his career. I've seen Gary Ablett and Trent Cotchin pull out of contests, but they don't get the same level of scrutiny because they aren't captaining the worst team in the league. Often it's actually a smart tactic if you can avoid contact but still come out with the ball.

There's just this macho stigma associated with not putting your body in the worst possible place on a football field, even when it's not in your best interest to do so, and the better option is just to back your read of the ball and get the play moving before you get hit. Good players do this regularly, aka Pendles, Macrae.

i thought he was noticeably harder at it than he has been all year against the suns.

Was his best game for the year. One of those players that needs to set the tone for themselves by doing some ‘tough’ things early, and starting with plenty of energy. Still runs ridiculously hard.

Unfortunately... soft

You realise we have Marc Murphy not David Murphy from the Swans.

But then gain are u really a Carlton supporter?
