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.

    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.

  • Quote

    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.

    • 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?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
