Don't see the point in discussing players we have NO hope of getting.

They would burn down the Pies training centre if he left.

Should definitely try to get de Goey just to see your second sentence come true.

    He just met with Carlton and his manager and wants to stay at Blues and help lead them out of trouble, going nowhere.

    "No go, Murph. I've sniffed around and no one wants a piece of you. Only club to show anything was Gold Coast."

    "And they're just as scheiss as us! So I'm stuck here then?"

    "Not stuck, Mark. Don't say stuck. Say, you want to stay here and help lead them out of trouble."

    "I'll be dead by then!"

    "Yeah, probably. But try to drag that part out a bit, I still want my management fees."

    Carlton owe us - and big time. They got Ron Barassi, Greg Wells & Earl Spalding . We got Vin Catoggio and a couple of 'could be's' who quickly showed they were 'won't be's'.

    We don't need broken down 29 year olds.

    Aim high - we're a club of destination - chase the big names who are in their prime.

    C'mon, don't forget,,, they gave us premiership player Michael Young !   pretty face 'n' all.

    I couldn’t have seen any other interested parties. Carlton are going to be down the bottom for a long time.

    One positive with him staying is that it adds an extra year or two of them being down the bottom.

    It's bloody magnificent.

    Murphy is a highly skilled player who uses the ball really well.

    Would be a terrific 17-22 player for the Demons, provided he wasn’t required to do grunt work for 22 weeks!

    Anyway sounds like it won’t happen, so we move on!

    As an alternative, let’s take Gaff!

    On the other hand, we gave them Sean Charles.  Broke his leg in his one and only game for them, poor bloke.

    Peter Rohde was a good pickup, one of the few. Tried hard for the MFC.

    We did have a Phil Rhoden who only played a handful of games in the 60s I think.

    Phil Rhodes was a workmanlike utility who played for Alexander the Great. Career statistics: 3 Thracians, 2 Persians, 4 Cappadocians. Delisted after the battle of Bactria where he copped a bad knee injury, and concussion. Tried for an assistant coach job with the Babylonian army but was forced to resign after a salary cap scandal. An honest trier, remembered fondly.

    It is safe to say that he is definitely going nowhere if he remains at the Blues

    Mods - the title of this thread reads as if a fait accompli 

    How about either putting “how about” at the start or some ???? at the end???

    The Athenians tried recruiting him under father-son but quickly found he lacked the mobility for the modern game. "He was like a bloody statue", said his coach. "Jason Cloke would have done a better job."

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

      Melbourne wrapped up the AFLW home and away season with a hard-fought 14-point win over Geelong at Kardinia Park. The result secured second place on the ladder with a 9–3 record and a home qualifying final against the Brisbane Lions next week.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
