He's been great the last 2-3 weeks. High intensity, pressure acts that lets our other guys do their thing while he does some of the dirty stuff. Even the other whipping boys in McHenry and Jones have been great which is making this season all the more interesting. Hope their form continues.

I wonder if it is we have lifted as a team. Murph and Jones are playing with more confidence knowing someone is backing up their efforts.
Could be, or maybe we are allowed to play a more attacking game, which has always be Jones problem

He wants his spot and isn't giving it up without a fight. Throws absolutely everything into it. Those smothers have been exceptional, team lifting
I haven't been a fan of his but he's playing well and won't be dropped in a hurry

I've been critical of this kid many times in the past but it's hard not to respect what he does.

Crikey that’s an old bump.Me too!!!!
Maybe even GK is starting to soften up?
He is playing his role well, if you go back far enough you’ll see that I would have liked to see him as small defender.
I don’t believe he’s a small forward like how we played him previously but he is playing his role really well pushing up the ground.
I rate McAdam a lot and that’s why I wanted him in as I believe he would make our forward line insane.
Murphy needs to do a few things to keep his place:
Maintain the rage. At all times.
Make smart decisions with ball in hand (know his limitations)
Kick goals from set shots
Do those and there is a spot in the team for him.

Wonderful read. Thank you.This article might explain Lachie's role in the team currently and why the coaching panel hold in high regard what he brings to the table and also the commitment the bloke has to getting everything out of himself..
No chance he gets delisted at year's end as some suggest.

Murph is a brave lad. Imagine risking spinal injury and going in as hard as he does.

Don’t think I’ve seen any with Murphy.

There's a couple saying delist him. Very unlikely given his games experience & age coming towards his peak years. Oh and the fact he's playing extremely well at present. Wouldn't say he's fully cemented his spot, need a bigger sample size from him but signs right now are all positive.

Unlikely that happens, but yes I don't think we should rush off just a hot month of form to get pen to paper.
I know I’m banging on about him a bit as love an underdog story but when people talk about what he’s doing well they talk about ‘desperation , tackles , Smothers’ etc
Which is all true
But some are underrating his skill which includes super clean ball handling under pressure especially at stoppages and lately he’s been hitting targets nicely by hand and foot and making really good decisions
Hence the score assist and score involvement stats

He really really stands out in stoppages, one touch player and very clean with his handballs, very productive. Makes things happens before his opponent can blink.
And Rory Laird is 1st for score involvements. Doing well in these stats.
