    Not sure many around here will want to talk about Marc Murphy mate.

    FWIW, I think he's a star. But lets back onto Demon players, I could name two in particular who take short steps. Anyone want to hazard a guess?!

    Yes why have a positive thread when we can revert quite easily to negativity and kick a few players of the team we supposedly 'support', sigh.....if you are not interested in a topic you do have the choice not to read it

    This is a footy message board. All sorts of players are discussed here, Melbourne, or any other club. Trade or Draft. Or anything AFL related.

    If you haven't got any contribution or aren't interested, feel free not to post I say.

    yep i agree with those who say Murphy is bettr than Gibbs. Gibbs doesnt do alot, other than rack up easy posessions. He's one of a handfull of players who is highly rated by many becasue he scores well in peoples dream teams, not because he is a influential player on the field. Rhyse Palmer was another one - i reckon he won the rising star award a few years back becasue he averaged ~100 points in dream team, not because he was good. He butchered the ball every time he got it back then and still does....

    I find this an amusing comment coming from a poster that has Grimes as one of their favourite players...

    Sorry S&S ... your mate's a dunce.

    The only short steps Marc Murphy will possibly take this year is when he trots up to the stage at Crown to collect a Brownlow.

    Can't see Murphy beating his captain Judd this year. Surely Juddy needs to just say injury free and suspension free to win.

    Regarding Gibbs - he has been given roles to play and taken some big names. Accountable roles players such as Goodes and the like. And he has done quite well. So he hasn't really been the loose backman as you describe.

    As for Murphy, he is every bit the no.1 draft pick Carlton would expect and I think he can win the Brownlow this year. Yes someone like a Pendlebury and Judd can win it, but I have Murphy in front at the moment. That's my boxed trifecta ATM*.

    * = subject to change.

    "Quite well" indeed but not a game changer .Can't kick a goal ,doesn't break lines .Maybe he can tag .

    But if you like him then good for you .

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
