Check his stats. He was in the top handful of players on the ground statistically, kicked it 24 times of his 29 disposals, worked his dot off, and gained a whopping 700+ metres which puts him in the elite category, and had 5 score involvements with 13 pressure acts.
Yes he muffed his last kick. We had lost the game by then. Players have no idea how much time is left and let's not pretend he was close to goal. He had no room to measure that kick from roughly 40 out with pressure around him, and he's a soft target (pardon the pun). I was livid with his match against port. I'll be the first to chastise Murphy when its warranted and yesterday it wasn't a fair criticism.
A valiant effort, from you and Murphy, but I suspect both are wasted!
