Murphy (ankle) signed a two-year contract extension with Adelaide on Wednesday.

Set for surgery
Murphy is set to undergo surgery for an ankle syndesmosis injury, according to the Crows' Head of Football Adam Kelly. "(Murphy's) a really important part of our team and had been enjoying a really good season. He's having surgery on that ankle today and we expect he will be unavailable for 8-10 weeks."
ANALYSIS
Murphy isn't nearly as important for fantasy as he is for his club's performances, as he's scored no more than 67 fantasy points in a single match through eight rounds. With a recovery time that will take at least two months, it could be worth monitoring who replaces him over the coming weeks.
