Don't see the point in discussing players we have NO hope of getting.

They would burn down the Pies training centre if he left.

Should definitely try to get de Goey just to see your second sentence come true.

 

He just met with Carlton and his manager and wants to stay at Blues and help lead them out of trouble, going nowhere.

"No go, Murph. I've sniffed around and no one wants a piece of you. Only club to show anything was Gold Coast."

"And they're just as scheiss as us! So I'm stuck here then?"

"Not stuck, Mark. Don't say stuck. Say, you want to stay here and help lead them out of trouble."

"I'll be dead by then!"

"Yeah, probably. But try to drag that part out a bit, I still want my management fees."

Carlton owe us - and big time. They got Ron Barassi, Greg Wells & Earl Spalding . We got Vin Catoggio and a couple of 'could be's' who quickly showed they were 'won't be's'.

We don't need broken down 29 year olds.

Aim high - we're a club of destination - chase the big names who are in their prime.

C'mon, don't forget,,, they gave us premiership player Michael Young !   pretty face 'n' all.


I couldn’t have seen any other interested parties. Carlton are going to be down the bottom for a long time.

One positive with him staying is that it adds an extra year or two of them being down the bottom.

It's bloody magnificent.

Murphy is a highly skilled player who uses the ball really well.

Would be a terrific 17-22 player for the Demons, provided he wasn’t required to do grunt work for 22 weeks!

Anyway sounds like it won’t happen, so we move on!

As an alternative, let’s take Gaff!

Phil Pinnell!


On the other hand, we gave them Sean Charles.  Broke his leg in his one and only game for them, poor bloke.

Peter Rohde? Unless there was a Phil?

Peter Rohde was a good pickup, one of the few. Tried hard for the MFC.

We did have a Phil Rhoden who only played a handful of games in the 60s I think.

Phil Rhodes was a workmanlike utility who played for Alexander the Great. Career statistics: 3 Thracians, 2 Persians, 4 Cappadocians. Delisted after the battle of Bactria where he copped a bad knee injury, and concussion. Tried for an assistant coach job with the Babylonian army but was forced to resign after a salary cap scandal. An honest trier, remembered fondly.

It is safe to say that he is definitely going nowhere if he remains at the Blues

If I recall correctly, his son was truly a colossus.

And I thought he was a scholar, silly me.

Mods - the title of this thread reads as if a fait accompli 

How about either putting “how about” at the start or some ???? at the end???

The Athenians tried recruiting him under father-son but quickly found he lacked the mobility for the modern game. "He was like a bloody statue", said his coach. "Jason Cloke would have done a better job."

  • 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?
