THERE were positive signs for Robert Murphy lining up for Williamstown against Collingwood's VFL side yesterday at VISY Park.

Williamstown coach Brad Gotch used Murphy, who has recovered from knee surgery, across half-back in 15-20 minute spells in each quarter.

Murphy, 26, had 10 kicks and two handballs to play a role in the Seagulls' 56-point victory.

"I thought Murphy got better in the second half," Gotch said.
