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.

Thank Christ. Someone that can run and kick.

 

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

We need foot skills... that’s him. He would find a fwd on a night like last night. 

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.

Yes from me at the right price. Class and polish we need and wint have to do much grunt work with our list

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.

Murphy would be a perfect fit if he is fit. He is an unrestricted free agent which makes it all about selling the dream of a flag, as Carlton will offer the best contract.

Don't forget, he is ex-GWS. We might get pick 1 from SOS if we throw in Buggy

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.

Can we get a report from the Richmond doctor about him ;)

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
