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: West Coast

      Epic battle alert.  This Sunday, Casey Fields hosts a coach’s showdown pitting the wits of the master Mick Stinear (92 games, 71.7% win rate) against his protégé Daisy Pearce (16 games, 43.8%). Still early in her coaching journey, Daisy’s record doesn’t yet reflect her impact — but she’s already the best-performed coach at West Coast.Dais’ is mythic.  Like Katniss Everdeen, everyone either wants to kiss her, kill her (sporting metaphor) or be her.  Toothers Daisy Pearce is a role model, someone admired for their heart, humility and humour.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.
