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.

    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.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
