As an unrestricted free agent then sure why not. Wouldn't want to be paying a high wage. He's had his fair share of injury issues recently and is most likely just about cooked. If its low risk then it's probably worthwhile but for some reason I'm not overly enthused about it.

    Marc Murphy. Yes. A two year deal on $250,000 base  

    Low cost. High risk. High reward. 

    I'd prefer someone from a winning culture and finals experience, a big no from me.

    We need to replace Vince with the next Hodge, Lewis can play VFL next year in a coaching role developing juniors.

    Murphy would fit nicely in our side, doesn’t have to do the heavy lifting and we could use his skills kicking into our forward line

    He has played 6 finals which (other than Those we have traded in) is more than every other player on our list.

    If we are worried about loser culture then we should cut Jones and pretty much any one else.

    He has done well in finals, hell, he was averaging nearly 6 tackles over his 4 games this year. 

    KICKS 13.8

    HANDBALLS 11.8

    DISPOSALS 25.5

    MARKS 5.5

    HIT-OUTS 0.0

    TACKLES 5.8

    GOALS 0.5

    AFL FANTASY 107.3

     

    Not sure too many of our players would have better stats than that if you took a four week block of all their season.

    Too old, now injury prone & comes from a losing culture. Clear definition of a list clogger.

    Too old?

    Too Injury prone?

    Hmm.. You better hope you're right, because HERE THEY COME

    Why would we want a clapped-out hack from the bottom side?

    Agreed to old and SLOW!

    You know, after all this talk of Gaff, DeGoey, whoeva, etc etc.

     

    I would be pretty happy to pickup Murphy and Sloane.... plus some good running kids from the draft.

    Even more than endurance, we need some, break-away speedy young players.

    The issue with recruiting these older players is at the time of trade they may have the speed of the game in check however it can go quickly, see Vince and Lewis and to a lesser extent Jones. I think we can do better, I'd much rather bring in players from successful clubs.

    True, but Murphy losing speed would still be quicker than either at their peak ?

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
