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 

It’s been 3 days since this post has refreshed.  Keeping the momentum!!

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

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.

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 ?
