How good is Marc Murphy? Wow!
We should petition the club for a bronze statue of him outside the club in lieu of his courageous and skillful contributions over the past decade or so. I'd also like a never ending video loop on a screen below the statue showing him at his best. You know, things like:
- Avoiding all contact when he is presented with any opposition player large or small in his vicinity
- Shanking his kicks and missing every target by either kicking it over their head or missing either side by at least 3-4 metres
- Scrubbing a shot for goal along the ground when the opportunity presents itself to a kick a goal to win the game
- Looping his kicks so they take an eternity to reach the intended target giving the opposition ample time to spoil
- And my personal favourite, why kick a drop punt for goal from 35 metres directly in front when you can do a right foot banana and kick it out on the full. Show boating like the champion he is! He never misses an opportunity to show the world what he's got in that endless bag of tricks of his.
Ahhhh, classic Marc! Skills galore and loves to showcase them to all and sundry every week.
Thanks Marc! You're a wonder!
I distinctly recall seeing one of Murph's clangers in defence, in the last qtr yesterday and thought to myself, 'I hope Spanner didn't see that!' You obviously did, and other mistakes. I like Murph, always have but too many mistakes yesterday from a leader and experienced player.
Your disdain for Murph is palpable (to state the bloomin' obvious!)... did he harm a pet of yours or... just kidding, jokin'
Are you still in Canberra? Work is taking me there in a few weeks... love to catch up for a cuppa.
