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 ?

    • 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.
