A summary on Marc Murphy would be nice, im considering him as an upgrade for Palmer.
Thanks.
Marc is having a break-out year this year. Averaging just over 100, from the 70 odd that he was last year. He is currently at the price of around 405,000, and at that price must be considered a keeper. However, we have noticed that marc is unable to hold or break any tag that comes his way. Usually with Judd in the midfield this is almost non-existance, but as injury cramps juddy, more focus will be put onto murph, and the sooner he is able to manage it, the better.
Carlton tags
Number 1 tag- Judd
Number 2 tag- Murphy
Number 3 tag- Stevens
So basically murphy needs judd to be playing, to score well.
Scores when tagged
81,54, 68, 83
Scores when not tagged
98, 122, 90, 94, 104, 108, 142, 125, 135, 104
From those figures, we can see that he is very much a high hundered scorer. He will either get in the 90's or over the 110 mark, which is golden in DT
So the biggest thing for murph is the tag. If either Judd or Stevo arnt playing, then i would expect Murph to suffer DT wise, otherwise he is a safe bet
But i also think that there are so many better options at that price, all that can handle tags
Bartel- 387,000- Cant beleive this bloke never gets the tag, and if he does, i am sure he can break it. Havnt seen him have a bad game
Corey- 380,600- Having a ripper of a season. Similar to murph though, in the fact that he always gets the second tag behind ablet, which can sometimes produce a 70
K.Cornes- 385,200- This bloke does the lot. Tags and gets the pill himself. Worry is when he is tagging a tough opponent, where he will ocasionly sacrifice his own scores for the tag
Cross- 371,000- Pretty sure most teams have this guy, but if not he is one of the most consistant DT'ers going around
My Verdict- Murphy should average well, considering Judd should always get tag no 1. If judd is not playing though, be worried. There are better and safer options
