Ollie Murphy seeks second chance in AFL after delisting by Fremantle
Summary

Ollie Murphy, formerly with Fremantle, is determined to secure another opportunity in the AFL following his delisting last month. The 21-year-old defender believes he has developed significantly during his three seasons with the Dockers, where he trained against top forwards and added weight to his frame. Despite being behind several key defenders on the depth chart, Murphy remains hopeful for a train-on position or contract with another club. He has been approached by VFL and state-league teams as he continues a structured training routine in Melbourne and prepares for potential opportunities after the upcoming AFL Draft.
