Its been one of those injuries that just niggled and stayed around, Bolton said.Weve approached it in a really professional manner and ticked every box ... weve looked after Murph and never pushed him to a position where he was going to re-injure.There was no setback. It was just slow in getting it right.We tested him this week and hes still just not quite right.Thats probably his season now.The high ankle sprain is notoriously hard to diagnose and treat.Other AFL players - including Travis Cloke, Dale Thomas and James Kelly - have suffered multi-week layoffs with similar injuries in past years.The upside is Murphy can enter pre-season without any late season wear and tear, having played only the opening 10 rounds of 2016.Hell be able to steady for the next month and then hit pre-season full on, Bolton said.Murph will be a real recruit for us next year.Bolton wasnt in the mood to talk about other recruits on Friday morning, as the club continues to be linked with moves for mature-age players including Ty Vickery.The Tasmanian coach said he would never talk about specific players.Its our duty to draft well this year and its also important were open-minded to trading, he said.Were interested in building our young depth primarily through drafting because we want to be a sustainably strong club.These days its always a combination of that and trading.He confirmed he wanted out-of-contract forward Levi Casboult to remain with the Blues in 2017.I want Levi at our club. He gives us a really strong target up forward. Hes important to us, he said. Sheldon Rankins Saints Jersey .R.
