apparently we we have spoken with his management, but coming from spud frawley so grain of salt may be required 

I would hope our people, are speaking to all prospective trades/free-agents people.  murphy's not, the lone ranger.

He is everything we need, old, injury prone, expensive, small, looking for a retirement nest egg and seeking some personal quick success at the expense of an MFC player who might have earned it.

You clearly haven't been watching Gaff this year then. His increased inside work and defensive 1%ers have taken his game to a new level. As a RFA he could come at no cost to our draft placement. He wo

TBH, I would have Murphy if he was available. On the wages listed that’s sod all, wouldn’t cost us draft picks and could be the cherry on top.  He is a good footballer in a crap side. Has also pr

Would have had him in last nightover Harmes, ANB, Tyson, Lewis, Vince, Petracca, Hannan, J.Smith

tbh, If he played, I bet we win. He has class and has proven it in big games, we sorely lack that.

He adds polish. Yes from me (for what little that's worth)

contract size/form commensurate with injury risk

I think he is worth looking at, provided the Richmond Doctor clears him of any doubts about injury risk and he is happy to play on a modest wage. He does use the ball well and doesn't have brain fades like old man Vince.

I don't think he would be a high dollar player, and Carlton will coerce him into free agency to land a high compo pick.

Would be a short term upgrade for us. I'm not convinced our midfiled is complete, and could use him to go up a notch.

Agree, I would have him over all of the above except Petracca!

He has great skills and would have made a difference to our season. Re getting to old, Vince in his last season and Lewis gone next year.

Trade Tyson for pick 19 (assuming Carlton on bottom) and take Murphy as a FA and Carlton get a high pick as compensation.

It really depends how much he'd cost. We could use his leadership and foot skills, he'd be a definite improvement on 6-7 players currently in our 22 for the next two years. If he came on a lower pay contract, then I'm all for it. If he's wanting coin, than it's a pass as he won't be around long and his body is struggling as it is. 

This is subject to medical checks obviously, as a player who can't get on the park is useless.

Would be a perfect pick-up for us - class, contested ability and leadership. He's exactly what we need.   Is from the same draft as Nathan Jones, and subject to medical assessment can play 3 more seasons.

SOS is silly but can't even see him giving up pick 19 for Tyson.

It also puts us in the ball park, with salary cap space,,, to go after Dylan Shiel or Matt Buntine (Restricted Free Agents) in 2019... or possibly Joshua Kelly who is out of contract in 2019.

# also Zac Jones comes outOC in 2019...  according to footywire. https://www.footywire.com/afl/footy/out_of_contract_players?year=2019

So we park some salary cap into a short term contract (Murphy). with Lewis coming outOC, end of 2019_

 

Bernie has 4 games to go, to get to 100 Mfc games...  likely to be against the Cats, down at Geelong.

 

So we'll have a few players to free up salary cap space, in the next year or 2.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
