2013 Player Profile: Marc Murphy

[henry]

Yep, still locked for me unless he doesn't play any Nab or isn't named round 1.

[Ricochet]

Yeh still plenty of time, but if he isn't right come RD1 then Fyfe or Mundy will come in

[Aaron8]

If named Rnd 1 he is an absolute lock. I don't know why people are staying away from him just because at times he can't handle a tag he is a proven premo and at his price he's just a bargain, Also with the extra trades this year he could be a good stepping stone to get you Ablett or swanny. He's only gonna make you ca$h!

I'll most likely have both Murph and Fyfey.

Not sure you should be looking to use him as a stepping stone. If you get Murphy in for round 1, it is because you think he is a keeper. There are better money makers going around you should be looking at to build your cash.

Murph is a lock for me though.

+1 Murph shouldn't be a stepping stone. He won't make that much cash, if that's what you want from a player you'd be better off with an Embley, Ball or Fyfe etc... Or a rookie...

[bundyboy]

Assuming he plays Rd1... just lock him in and throw away the key...

worst case - he is going to be M5 keeper...

double worst case, he gets injured (like anyone else can too)  and you really have unlimited trades to fix it..

at his price, and potential, i think he will be one of the most popular picks, and with good reason.

Anybody worried about his early fixtures? After Richmond, an up and coming side with a very strong midfield (Cotchin, Deledio, Tuck plus other lads like Jackson and Conca who might constrict Carlton), he faces Collingwood (Swan, Pendles, Beams, Sidebottom, Ball...), Geelong (Selwood, Bartel, Corey, Kelly, Caddy), West Coast away (Selwood x2, Kerr, Priddis), and Adelaide (Thompson, Dangerfield, van Berlo, Sloane, Wright, Reilly). 2 teams with good midfields and 3 teams with great midfields.

Murphy could come out of those first 5 games with an average below 100...

So what I'm thinking is to start with Montagna, see him smash those first three weeks, hold him in the side another couple weeks, then trade him to Murphy, who has hopefully dropped a bit of cash and Monty has gained a bit so they're about the same prices, then trade Monty to Murphy when the fixturing evens out and reap the benefits.

[tbagrocks]

Nope I don't give a rats toss bag on who is playing who ;)

I do hope however that others do giving me a massive advantage of just having the confidence in the better players, while others fret about a player coming up against Collingwood or seemingly having it easy against GWS

GEEL: 121. 112. 89

Teams are starting to tag Murphy over Judd now though remember, so past form means less. He'll be easily tagged out of games by Jackson, Kelly and a Selwood, meaning those three games he probably won't hit the 100. The other two I can't see him busting out a big 115+ score.

Just saying, Montagna will surely average more than Murphy over the first month or so, so why not start Monty and trade to Murph around round 5, seeing as we have so many trades now we can afford luxury trades like these to target fixturing.

Thanks Jukes!

I was thinking of starting a thread titled 'The Tambling Moments' to celebrate those big calls that are so glaringly wrong you regret them as soon as the words pass your lips.

This here is the early season bolter, otherwise known as 'The Stanton'. ;)
