I don't think a 5pt statistical shift is significant by any means, and I fully expect that if Murphy's mindset is correct modern sports medical technology is more than adequate to extend his career significantly. He could easily become our next Jarryd Waite given the right environment, why not still at Carlton!
Certainly I think if Daisy can return to some decent form from his ills, so can Murphy.
So for me it's not about ability or output, the differences there are barely worth a mention, they can even be written off as a change of role. The real debate about the likes of Murphy, Rowe and Simmo is more of a philosophical issue!
I'm not talking statistics I'm talking ability to get on the Park and play a high standard of footy.
He's a chump change player. He won't be hunted he'll be taken.
I've stuck up for Murphy more than most on here and it's time to accept that he's yesterday's hero.
