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.

    I"ve been watching Gaff, doing a bit more inside work out of necessity, but whole team is playing well

    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

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
