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. 

    KICKS 13.8

    HANDBALLS 11.8

    DISPOSALS 25.5

    MARKS 5.5

    HIT-OUTS 0.0

    TACKLES 5.8

    GOALS 0.5

    AFL FANTASY 107.3

     

    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 ?

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
