Welcome to the club.
Quote: | Selection No. 39 � Nathan Murphy
Position: Forward
Height: 188cm
Weight: 80kg
Born: 15/12/1999
Recruited from: Sandringham Dragons
Profile
Medium forward with excellent natural leap for the ball, Murphy is a strong overhead and is a clean mark out in front. An agile and versatile type with good goal sense, Muprhy was a prolific goal scorer at Brighton Grammar before playing for the Dragons. Outstanding cricketer having represented Victoria at underage level. Ran the 2km time trial in 6:21 at the Combine, which placed him among the best performers.
Did you know?
- Murphy was an elite young cricketer, before opting to pursue an AFL career.
What they say
�He�s a bit of a loveable larrikin that comes from cricket. He can play forward and back as a third tall and potentially if he builds up his tank, he can push into midfield with his athleticism. His endurance, agility and recovery are very good and he�s really aware of those around him. I think he�s a natural defender who can go forward and he gets in the right spots,� � Ryan O�Connor (Sandringham Dragons Talent manager), Inside Football, November 2017 |

A steal !!
Kicks both feet. Smooth mover and a bottom ager.
Just chose footy over cricket. Great athlete.
Very pleased with this pick. |

His highlight package was more impressive that Jaidyn's. As Dennis Commetti would say "he's a likely type" _________________ kymbo |

Would have preferred a KPP but unfortunately all the good KPP's are gone by the time we get to our pick 38. Still Murphy is a forward and a good mark and we were purported to be in to him before the draft, so as expected I guess. |
