The full-forward has already racked up 15 goals in a game twice this season, first against Border-Walwa back in round two and more recently against Federal last weekend.
Murray's goal kicking display has led him to become the leagues leading goal scorer so far this season with 67.
He's followed by Cudgewa's Brendan Mcevoy on 46 goals and Ben Hall with 42.
While it's the first time ever in a season that Murray has achieved the double 15 goal feat, the former Hume league player said he's concentrating more on his team's success as a whole.
"It's more about playing team footy," Murray said.
"We've got a good forward line, so I've just been lucky."
Murray added he's fitting into the league well after being lured to the club by friends this season.
Bullioh staged a huge 238-point win against Federal during the weekend, with Federal only posting a single point.
Cudgewa is currently the benchmark in the competition after eight rounds, with Bullioh hot on their heels.
Murray said his side is just looking to tackle things one week at a time at this point in the competition.

"We're probably not really worried about that at the moment, we're more focused on playing our team footy and getting our game plan right," Murray said.
"We're doing what we need to do week in and week out to get to where we want to be.
"They're (Cudgewa) the team to beat at the moment, but we're just focusing on our next game."
Bullioh will face Corryong this weekend at the Corryong Recreation Reserve.
Corryong is coming off the back of a 269-point loss to Cudgewa last weekend, taking them to two wins and six losses for the season.
The last time the two sides played was round four, with Bullioh claiming the win by 184-points.
"They (Corryong) probably struggled last time, but hopefully they can put a good side on the park and it's a good game of footy," Murray said.
In other Upper Murray league games this weekend, fourth placed Tumbarumba will take on third placed Federal at the Tumbarumba Recreation Reserve.
While over at the Walwa Recreation reserve on Saturday, Border-Walwa will meet ladder leaders Cudgewa to round out the games for round nine.
