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.

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: 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.
