Player Watch Nathan Murphy

[Vicky Park]

How good was that?!

Liked how acknowledged his effort and hoped it would inspire teammates

Didn't say "obviously" once - I think the sporting world is in shock

Also didn’t say ‘yeah no’.

 

[pablo disco bar]

Someone here was wondering what number to put on their kids guernsey...well put 28!!!

Yes I also liked the way he didn't dismiss his effort with some well worn cliché about just playing his role or helping out the boys but instead used the opportunity to promote his courage and its value to team performance. One of the most impressive interviews I have seen with one of our players.

 

[neilk]

You can't teach courage.

Brilliant mark and deserves a thread bump for it.

Kudos to Rankine for his recognition of the mark. Great sportsmanship.

 

[Capital Magpie]

Also didn’t say ‘yeah no’.

He id actually, early on (1:39), but that was the only blemish in what was otherwise an excellent interview.

 

[No SPIN]

I’ve never lost faith in this kid who without constant injuries over the last few years, I have no doubt would have
proven to be in our Top 10 players.
Let’s hope he stays fit because he has huge upside.

 

[Sea fog]

Am very happy with Murphy atm.

 

[Rorzza]

Someone posted the next captain, funny that, Nathan reminds me of and I think should be developed in a similar way to Maxwell.

 

[Mooresome]

Would love to see those high flying efforts and pressure in our forward 50, bring in Wilson to chb and play murphy forward for a game or two ?

pendles would have to remain captain until he was 39...

He's a perfect third tall.

 

[sr36]

Also didn’t say ‘yeah no’.

Nah, yeah he did. But it lacked an "it's all been a bit so real."

 

[Vicky Park]

Nah, yeah he did. But it lacked an "it's all been a bit so real."

Correction SR - it’s ‘surreal’

 

[sr36]

Correction SR - it’s ‘surreal’

Yeah, nah - it's meant to be, but if you listen closely, a lot of them say "so real"

 

[Horaceg]

I like this guy, could be a better pick than Stevo in time.

Been a bit of a slow burn and really keen to see him develop further.

 

[Ugene41]

Yep really need to accelerate his development. Howe replacement in the future. Lock in the best 22. Even if he makes mistakes, give him the same backing we gave Maynard when he first started. No more Madgen.

 

[grayza2018]

Locked into the side now, fingers crossed he can stay fit and his injury troubles are behind him

That mark was fantastic

This year is the first time I've seen him live up to his early hype. Coming on well now

 

[Jelly Bean]

He needs more time. Hasn't shown enough to confirm he will be a constant in the side over the next decade, but showing some small tings every now and then. Needs another 5 games continuously to give a sense of what we have here.

 

[nahnah]

I still see him as a defender, 'defensive wingman' is not something I am overly keen on

Happy to see him given opportunity at HF, wing, or HB over time. Very happy to see him stay on the wing for the immediate future though.

 

[ZEV]

Also didn’t say ‘yeah no’.

Wait, wasn't that the first things he said?

Anyways, I think Murph is my new favourite player

Mccreery is mine. Great kid

Seemed genuinely upset about that loss, can’t say that about others (on the surface, who knows what’s going on inside)

 

[Horaceg]

Mccreery is mine. Great kid

both have a crack
