Your comments seem to contradict that you watched the game.
Nobody who had watched the game could label Murphy's game lazy, and a lot of his ineffectiveness was because he was winning football inside, despite our pathetic ruck setup, and disposing continually while under pressure to team-mates who wouldn't spread from the contest. I comparison his game was about as statistically effective as Cripps!
If you are focussed on Murphy after that game, you are just providing smokescreens and excuses for many others who have far more to answer for!
Who else do you think needs a rocket?
I agree, I thought that Murphy was very good today along with Cripps and Petrevski-Seton, you could throw Ed Curnow in as well but gee his foot skills are scrappy, the one time he spotted someone up Lamb fluffed the shot.
Considering we were copping a hiding in the ruck our midfield did pretty well, but our front half is our Achilles heel and our back six is top heavy, add to that our poor skills and you have a bottom four side again I'm afraid.
Weitering, Byrne, Murphy, Thomas and Petrevski-Seton all have good foot skills but after that you struggle, we just cough it up far too much.
