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]

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.

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

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..

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?.

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

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.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
