Marc Murphy yet to sign with Blues

[Supreme_Demon 3,877]

G'day fellow Demons Supporters!

Apparently Marc Murphy from Carlton is yet to sign with them for 2009 onwards. Should we chase after him and take him with the prized number 1# in the Pre-Season Draft?

Here's a link to some information about him: http://www.footypost.com.au/carlton/player...ontract-players

I doubt he would leave the Blues, but I still think it's worth chasing him especially as he only about 21 years old and was the number 1# Draft pick a few years ago.

Any thoughts? What would it take to entice him to become a Demons player?

If the Club had a quick chat with his Manager I am sure they could ascertain whether he is considering leaving Carlton.

I doubt he will leave Carlton.

Too many cardboard boxes of which we have too little

Wonder why Carltank have not signed him? Could be he is overseas still on holiday. But if there is "Trouble at mill" i would hope that the MFC would check out all avenues. Would be a great pick up in the PSD $$ permitting. It would be a great time to get him. He is good but not yet a Champion so his Price may be attainable.

lol were no chance

[Supreme_Demon 3,877]

I did say it was highly doubtful.

However, I'm pretty disappointed by all the negative comments.

The way we are talking no wonder nobody wants to play for us!

He firstly has to want leave Carlton.

Oh but we are a sad and sorry lost aren't we?

[Guest Golgothan]

Rumour is he's only not signed because the club were holding off on his contract (with Murhpy's approval) while they were waiting to see if they got O'Keefe or anyone in trade week.

He was willing to have his contract front or back ended so that they could fit a player like O'Keefe into their salary cap. Him not signing is a greater show of commitment then just immediately signing a contract. It's a mere formality and not even really worth discussing

[JACKATTACK 17]

He won't leave, but part of me would love to offer him some massive amount that he simply can't refuse, Judd like in proportion, leaving Cartlon in the cold.... Sure it might not be great list management but it would be good fun.

[Rhino Richards 1,467]

....We already lack enough credibility amongst other Clubs and their players without making financially ridiculous offers.

Probably asking for too much

[Guest calemorton=gun]

Melbourne here is your chance to nab the best young talent this country has to offer i know Franklin etc etc are still young but I believe there a little older than murphy. Melbourne PLEASE move heaven and Earth to get this young gun! He is awesome, will win a brownlow or two. Lets get back at Carlton for taking Judd. Throw as much cash as we can at murphy and maybe he might leave visyboard god i hate carlton lets stick it right up em!!! GO DEES!

[DeeMfc 621]

You would have to think that he wouldn't be too happy about a 21 game ruckman coming in and getting more money and commitment from Carltank than they are probably offering him ?

Unless Visy steps in of course.........

[Swampfox 190]

Murphy i doubt will want to leave Carlton when they are potentially rising into next years finals contention and beyond

Melbourne are 3 plus seasons behind Carlton IMO

[Guest Schtacker]

yeah what number should we give him?

AS IF

fcs I feel insulted having read this thread

[Chook 15,013]

Why would he not want to play with Judd? It seems everyone else does. Not a chance in Hell that he'll enter the PSD, but even if he does, I wouldn't want to throw the money we saved on Matthew "Jesus" Warnock away just to pick up a player with less potential than him.

It's not going to happen people...

But it's worth inquiring, if for no other reason than to push his price up!

[Adzman 2,154]

There is NO WAY known he will be leaving Carlton. Carlton "have cap room" don't forget. He will be well looked after at Carlton, and he will sign a nice 3-4 deal no doubt about it.

Even if he wanted to leave Carlton, his asking price is most likely out of our price range.

It is nice to dream, but the truth is the MFC is about as attractive a destination as the war torn middle east. Marc will not be joining us in 09.

CC told me while I was walking to work that we were massively in the hunt for him too, him and Jamie Lynn Spears

Word is his nose is out of joint regarding the amount of money Warnock got.

hardly surprising, given it would've meant quite a large pay cut for himself
