Vic Clubs set to Target Freo players

Mundy, Murphy and Warnock for picks 17, 18 and 34?

Just asking, not suggesting.

I wonder if the presence of Chris Connolly at the club will entice any of those players?

Really don't know much about Murphy, enlightenment welcome.

Mundy would be an interesting pick up, maybe able to introduce CJ to the deal so as not to have to give away much in the way of high draft picks for him

Opens up an interesting scenario should we be in a priority draft pick situation

Say Kerr really is disgruntled and goes into the PSD and we could get him at # 1 ...that would add extra zip to the midfield, so drafting Rich becomes less of a priority

We could trade a draft pick 17 / 18 for Warnock...so drafting Natanui becomes less of a priority

We could then use draft pick # 1 to take KPP Hurley...we could really do with someone who can play KPP forward and back ala Scott Lucas

Picking up Mundy would be an added bonus

This scenario would address many of the holes in our list and all players have many years left in them [barring injury], and with the exception of Kerr we won't have to worry about wasting quality draft picks on young interstate talent who may develop the homesick syndrome [e.g. Scott Thompson]

Really don't know much about Murphy, enlightenment welcome.

Looked promising in 2006 when he kicked 22 goals in 12 games including 2 against us in that semi final.

Keeped out of the side by Pavlich and Tarrant since. I'd give up pick 34 for him.


If we could by any chance nab either of Warnock or Mundy I would be ecstatic, it would be a great pick up.

Murphy I'm less sure of, but I would still support us picking him up. I mean a young tall forward who has 20 odd games behind him and is about to reach his prime is nothing to snort at..

Being kept out of the side by Tarrant would raise alarm bells for me.

It is not like Tarrant's form has warranted keeping Murphy out. More the money invested and therefore the pressure to play him.

I wouldn't do that.

I'll trade for Warnock. Hopefully he nominates a club and we can play a bit of hardball with Freo . Offer 34 + fringe. I'll think about 18.

I'm not sure with Mundy as he's a nice player but he floats around looking for possessions. Doesn't play as tight as he should. Look at 34 but that's as high as i'll go.

As for Murphy, for some reason his reputation has far outshone what his produced. Staggering really. Both Freo's coach have said, Pavlova needs support in the fwdline yet Murphy can't crack it. He has been there for a long time and I wouldn't give up anything higher then pick 50?.

Murphy smashed us in that final at subi a few years back. Rarely sighted since. Mundy is someone id go after. Quality defender.

Too similar to Wheatley perhaps? I'm not having a go at Wheatley but they do play similar roles.

They all have promise but so would the kids we would pick up with 17 and 18.

I do agree that Warnock should be traded for, to keep the PSD pick open.

Warnock - Definitely target for PSD, or give Freo a token draft pick.

Mundy - Good player, but doesn't solve our need for a strong KP backman.

Murphy - Potentially good player, but I wouldn't give anything more than a 3rd round draft pick for him.

Mundy - will be a star once he gets out of Lolmantle

Warnock - 206cm tap ruckman, will be elite

Murphy - wouldnt touch him, extremely overrated

Ideally we could get Mundy for pick 18, and get Warnock for free in the PSD.

I am not keen on passing on top 30 picks. Mundy could be ok, and Warnock looks decent enough. These guys IMO are the sorts of guys you put in late picks for (pick 30-45).

None of these guys are stars, and could even slip through to the PSD. I whink better players will be on offer come seasons end.


Murphy surprises me, I really thought him and Pavlich would be a very competent forward tandem by now but he hasn't progressed.

Mundy and Warnock would be great additions, not sure what we could give up though but i'd be disappointed if it was any pick in the first 20. Draft picks are going to be like gold this year with 2 new teams on the horizon and likely to get a fair share of the top talent over the next few years. Perhaps a fringe player and a third round pick for one and force the other to the psd.

Of the three it would be Mundy I'd be targetting. Would absolutely be suited to the list that the club is trying to build around. With Rivers, Frawley, Wheatley and Mundy - all of a sudden the back line has depth in terms of height and speed. They're not all true KPP, but backlines now can only afford one true gorilla (and I think Stef Martin is being groomed for that role to replace Carroll), the rest all have to be able to push up the ground and be able to use the ball well. I like Mundy a far safer bet than Warnock IMO.

Mundy - He is a younger version of Wheatley imo. Won't be elite but will contribute for a solid 8 years more with the regular 22.

Warnock - Someone we really should look at getting, there is still a high high high chance we will not get the number 1 pick as we are not blooding youth and completely bottoming out. So that means we probably won't get Naita. With White to retire this year or the year after, PJ coming along,our ruck division would be set.

Murphy - All the talent in the world, think he may benifit getting out of Freo. But to me, he is just like Newton, not a strong guy, attitude is questioned.

I opened this thread to propose the same comparison myself actually. He's very highly rated by many in the footy world, but there's something NQR. I'm yet to see any evidence at all as to why people rate him so highly.

Murphy is a quality player just not getting an opportunity, kicking plenty in the WAFL but due to the investment in Tarrant can't get a regular senior game, I would love to see him have the chance to string together 10+ senior games and then make a decision on him. He has a very good kicking action and would be one of the best shots for goal getting around, I also think his pace and contested marking ability are superior to that of any of our younger guys.


I think they should all be on our radar, but more so Warnock and Mundy, they both fit into the vision of where our club's going and they sound like they could both forced a spot in the 22. Don't know about Murphy, honestly can't comment on his abilities or whether he'll fit into the side.

Reading reports that Warnock's manager is expecting to field offers around the $500,000 p.a. mark.

For a 21 year old with 12 games under his belt :huh:

Suddenly going very cold on the idea

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
