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!

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

    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

    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."

    • 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?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
