Maybe.
The afl app supports him. Murphy put in 13 pressure acts, 700 metres gained and 29 disposals divided 52% in the defensive half and 48% in the attacking half.
72% disposal efficiency with only 5 handball and 5 score involvements.
Statistically our 2nd or 3rd best on ground, bested only by cripps, with Sam Walsh riding along for company who provided less metres gained but more score involvements.
Weitering and Jones round out our top 5 on the field. The problems dont come from this end. It's the 8 or 10 we get less than 3/4 worth of involvements from that are hurting us.
I'll call out Murphy when hes having a shocker. He had 26 disposals against port and it was a nothing game with 20+ handballs. Yesterday was his best game for quite some time. He just isnt a game winner anymore and captain courageous kicking to Gibbons inside 50 should hang his head in shame. We had barely entered inside 50 in the 4th quarter and a mistake like that ducks the life out of you. He wasnt the lone ranger but I get the feeling they spent more time trying to give Gibbons a goal yesterday and it worked to cost us the game.
