I really hate this aspect of the GWS and GC formation. I think it is sad that clubs fans, even those of Carlton who lets face it, we aren't too fond of, have to deal with a year of speculation and underhanded dealings only to find one of their stars is gone.

While Carlton have gotten more service from Murphy than we have from Scully so far I would really feel for Carlton if they lost him as he was one of their first draft picks earnt during one of the darkest periods for their club.

I will be siding with any club that is poached by GWS as I think the formation of a new club is fine only if we aren't hindering the original clubs to ensure their success and that the way concessions have been implemented causes pain for the clubs, players and fans involved...

    Got me with him, though to the other poster, Shaun Grigg was traded for Collins. Perhaps i should have added the word "star" before players. I don't think they will let any star player they want to keep go to another club.

    Wouldn't be a trade, that's the thing. Same as all the other player moves, it'd be a snatch and grab.

    He's one of the few. They didn't have Salary Cap sanctions for nothing, and they don't hasve all that silverware in the cupboard for nothing.

    I noticed on the Footy Show last week, that when talking about players going to GWS (they were grilling Thomas as he was on the panel), Scully didn't even get mentioned. For someone who was apparently 'gone', it was odd that he didn't even get spoken about. Damian Barrett also mentioned that GWS were having a hard time signing any players and that they had conceded that their best option would be to put pressure on clubs to pay big $ now, making it easier at the end of need year.

    The biggest problem GWS will face is their location

    Murphy has already shown his hand on location when he had the option of being at Brisbane under the father and son rule

    Instead he chose Carlton who picked him up as priority pick #1

    what i do consider however is that it will only be money that makes him move to GWS

    Pretty sure his father John has alot of influence on his contract negotiations

    Will be Interesting

    Sheedy has said this week they would target KPPs over other players.

    Meaningless. Sheedy has for years played a game of not always telling the truth. I'm not criticising him - everyone involved in football understands that it's all part of the bigger game. Some are just better at it than others.

    It was a joke - it's Shaun Grigg!

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
