Player Watch Nathan Murphy (Retired 2024)

[wicksy]

Thought he was fantastic. Well done Dekka. You've picked another gem.

 

[Albert Parker]

Not being 19 yet we may get some more height out of him.

He's told me the docs have suggested another 5cm in height.
Has only done his first full pre-season, given his cricket background. Will be closer to 195cm and 90kg they hope.

 

[Buckleys_Chance]

I know they have been playing him off half back but does he have any midfield aspirations? Classy user of the ball.

Moves like Ben Reid.

Ben Reid of 10 years ago.

 

[nahnah]

Just watched the replay, he did some very nice things. He is skinny but pretty strong in the contest. Happy for him to stay in the side

 

[jackcass]

If it’s true and he’s grown to KPP height once he puts more weight on we’ll have a very good defender.

Not sure he's grown much height wise.

Literally, the intercept then the wind up kick is Ben Reid all over

Still got Schaz penciled in as the long term Pendles replacement but could easily see Murphy take that role.

Dont think we can pencil shaz in for anything at this stage. Hope to be proven wrong tho

Going off a photo from the other week he’s taller than Degoey.

 

[neilk]

Has definitely improved his coif from earlier in the season Vicky Park

Yeah, need to see their feet in that photo. Suggest Murphy might have been standing on a step.

Was sitting just behind interchange yesterday, he's the same height as Degoey, maybe a touch taller

Haha not sure. Not completely out of the question though as he’s born in December. Could have grown a few.

Murphy listed as 189, JDG 191, so there wouldn't be much in it. The pic I think Soups was referring to Murphy was way taller the JDG and I doubt he's grown that much.

Yeah i remember the photo and he's definitely not that much taller.

Slow down Fonzie with the big statements.

 

[Pie eyed]

Can't wait to watch the match to see this young fella go.

Get a look at the 3rd quarter with about one minute to go, gets penalised for knocking the ball out of bounce, then picks himself and throws himself backwards into on coming traffic to spoil and save a shot on goal.
Nick Maxwell like.

I think he can play at either end of the ground and due to us having Howe, Langdon, Schaz, Moore, etc he might get more opportunities forward as a third tall.

Sorry dont understated docs, Doctors?

You'll enjoy it. Not a huge possession game but did near half a dozen things that show he has it.

Nah he wasn’t much, looked a cm or two at the most, but the main point was that at the start of the season he was listed as a couple of cm shorter than JDG, so he’s grown at least 2-3 cm this year if he’s now as tall or a touch taller than JDG. If he’s gone up to 192 then there’s every chance that he could push up to KPP height in the next 12 months too.

I believe JDG is more like 192~193 himself now anyway? At least Pendles seems to think he is.

Listed at 191. Think he was 188 or 189 when drafted.
