13 games in yet another injury-plagued season for the former skipper.

With the captaincy (and extra scrutiny) relinquished, I can truly see Murph having a great year for the club.

Our extra layer of midfield depth will hopefully allow for a more suitable role whereby he should find himself in positions to utilise his running power and skill by foot.

I'm excited to have the former AFL MVP back at full fitness and enjoying his footy again.

His decision to stay at the club and set the example for our younger players with respect to staying loyal in the ever-growing free market model is something that should be appreciated by all of our supporters.

What do you expect from Murph in 2019?
