I am amazed we have supporters who would even consider this. Finals are right there - we are 1 game out and we're talking about putting the individual ahead of the entire point of the club as a whole?
Make finals. Or play 17 vs. 18 because we want to limp a guy to a meaningless milestone. It's an amazing achievement to play 297 games the same as it is to play 300. Why does anyone care? Murphy himself would be embarrassed for all eternity if his 299th game he cost us finals.
Wow! 16,107 odd players have played VFL/AFL football, 95 have made the 300 game milestone. Duds dont play that many and its a significant milestone every players sets out to achieve. He has been a loyal servant of the club and I for one care as would most if not every one of his team mates and coaches. We aren't going to make the 8 IMO.
