Player Watch Nathan Murphy (Retired 2024)

[Albert Parker]

One of them is a no 1 pick

Another of them was a No 2 pick (Schache)

Apart from beating the number one and number two draft pick, what has Nathan Murphy ever done for us?

 

[unplugged]

I've still got so much hope for Murph. Fingers crossed he gets his chance and takes it with both hands.

 

[Harry O]

Hard to believe how much bulk and muscle he has added across his shoulders and chest areas in the space of one off season and at a relatively late age.
Certainly gives him some more scope in terms of the roles he might play

Yes, to me he is at risk of being another Nathan Kreuger.

Both throw themselves kamikaze style at things and end up with banged up shoulders and concussions.
Kreuger has had both a concussion and shoulder injury this season.

I thought you were a better speller than that.
First In, First Out.
PS: Doesn’t have to be in caps.

If you do don’t give it back, he has too many anyway

Elliott is a proven performer. No comparison

Who’s the proven performer to replace Madge if it’s not Murphy?

What has he done to give u so much hope?

 

[greening22]

What has he done to give u so much hope?

Very little so far. He needs to have a big 2nd half of 2022 to convince me that he the potential to be a regular AFL player! Goodnight & good luck.

 

[unplugged]

What has he done to give u so much hope?

I'm still clinging to the fact we supposedly had him top ten on our draft board. Really just baselessly hoping he fulfils the potential we thought he had!

 

[TradeDraft]

I’ve got faith in him…but I’d rather give him another week in the twos

Give Ruscoe a Go

He needed to, so does 3/4 of our list.

Haven't seen a recent picture of him, hopefully it adds what he was lacking.

At some stage the club has to make a call on him, in his 5th year he really should be starting to be a consistent player and showing a lot. Given he's perennially injured I guess it makes it hard to judge him, but imo he's a mixed bag off what he has shown.

I’d hold onto him for next year. At worst re-rookie.
Hine obviously saw something in him and we aren’t blessed with talls.

Yeah with where our list is at 1 more year seems sensible.

For me, it depends on the rest of the year. Hasn't shown much yet in terms of the physical attributes or skills necessary to make it. Needs to show something to get another year.

He's in that hard to judge category for me, I agree seems to lack pace required and not overly strong in the contest either.

But is courageous, doesn't shirk the issue, reads it ok and a nice height.

Definitely one teetering on the edge.

Think both the Browns will be on the chopping block, Tyler of the 2 maybe capable of turning it around with overall improved game this year only issue is he still can't break out of the teens for disposals and is slight for inside role.

I'd keep Tyler as I think he's got clean ball handling, is a pretty good athlete, and is still improving. He might get there. I don't want him playing midfield in the ones at the moment though. Try him back pocket or play him in the reserves.

I agree but that maybe is turning towards doubtful for me.

Murphy has until the end of the year, I hope he plays this week and has a real honest crack.
