We need outside run and pace. Has to be our priority at the end of year trade period. Gaff is the obvious candidate.

    So, of the mature inside Mids in free agency, would you have Murphy first, or Sloane ?

    I dont think of Murphy as a pure inside mid. I think he is quite rounded. 

    I dont think we hunt him, but if we miss out on gaff and he was quite cheap I wouldn't say no.

    I'm sorry but Gaff is not quick. if you ask any WCE supporters they wanted him dropped last season. He was pathetic. It's often the case that the club he is playing at know him the best. Having a stellar season but I saw too much of him last season to change my mind.

    Went missing last couple of years when it was tough going, he is a downhill skier

    Normal wettin of pants on here when a player gets a bit of media attention 

    The only thing more certain than death and taxes is that you will wet your pants at preseason training should Gaff come to MFC

    Couple of selfies, soccer questions, ass pics from training and maybe even a video tribute when he plays a milestone game.

    Nothing more certain.

    We have two small mids who are guns (Viney and Jones).  We cant fit Murphy in too.

    Spargo will develop into a fine mid to take the Jones role.

    Bolding that part for future reference if he comes to the MFC.

    Will be interesting to see if you accost him at training and tell him hes a downhill skiier - I am guessing you won't.

    Murphy has had a good career. However, a 31 year old who can’t get on the park is of no use to us. 

    Next.

    Careful dazzle, ass talk like that will get @Bitter but optimistic sniffing around

    We have Spargo, the new and improved Murphy 2.0, with 10+ years as a Dee ahead of him. Why bother with 30 year old 1.0 version?

    I'd prefer R.P.MacMurphy.

    I have an opinion on players, not a fan of Gaff, if we sign him,  hope not, will support him like I do all MFC players.

    Contrary to popular belief, don't gush at players, just chat to them on a number of subject

    Last conversation was with Nut Harmes on daschunds

    As for Murphy?  would be amazed if we even asked

    @dazzledavey36 Chunk liked the video, so an opinion of a faux tough guy doesn't really matter

    Based on this he will win the Bluey 3 years in a row from next season.

    Putting Murphy on our list would be an act of extreme stupidity.

  • Quote

    Subject to medical and the right money I think Murphy would be a fantastic fit for us. We are brimming with big bodied inside midfielders and desperately lack outside class. 

    We don't have a first round pick so it's not like we can add an Oliver Florent mid or Ed Richards half back flanker.

    Even if Murphy was managed through 15 games a season I'd prefer him on the list to half a dozen of the spuds we have running around at Casey or perpetually clogging the injury list. 

    People who laugh at Murphy ought to name some alternative pace that we can get for nothing. David Mackay? Gaff is run all day on the outside fast. He's not burst away from a stoppage fast.

    Can we sub contract the Richmond medical staff to do the medical considering Marc’s foot problems this year

    Hes about  cooked 13 or 14 post season operations. And a bit soft when the heat is applied

    I’m sure you’ll let him in on your opinion next year when you’re annoying him at Gosch’s.

    Mate I live in WA and that is nonsense. There was a period around 14 & 15 when teams stopped runningwith Priddis and started putting work into the outsiders in Shuey and Gaff.

    So not any Meth Coast fan wantedchim dropped last season. Many complained about him being to outside but he is hardly a one season wonder

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
