I'd take him, especially as we can get him for nothing.  As it says above, we could do a lot worse than having his foot skills coming off half back, and at 22 he still has plenty of footy and potential improvement ahead of him.

I think his style is more like Hunt or Frost out of the backline, just runs and then normally is pretty likely to turn it over.

    For what it’s worth I think we are going to give this guy a chance. Good speed and run but iffy disposal obviously. 

    Opinion or Sauce?

    Agree take a risk MFC it will cost us nothing and could pay off big time. 

    Its time to take a risk or two.

    certainly worth chasing. It would be fair to say there are a lot of players out there who have or played under the influence of drugs,

    A typical AFL rumour that should be skwoshed

    Wonder if a deal’s been done whereby the club will pick him up in early November as a delisted free agent?

    Who knows, we don't leak these days.

    Why not just trade him for pick 100 if that’s the case? It costs nothing, eliminates the very tiny chance he goes elsewhere, and puts some certainty in the situation for all concerned. 

    I think the only way to interpret silence is that it means the deal is not yet done.

    Hasn't he already been delisted? Meaning we could pick him up now couldn't we?

    No rush on it as I assume they will wait until the trade period is over

    Exactly. Under normal circumstances clubs may put together a token trade of very late picks so the player can move prior to preseason training, and the player can do a whole preseason with the new club. However Murray is unable to train with a club until December I believe, so it's pointless to rush it.

    If that's the case I wouldn't even sign him during the draft stage, I'd have him train over summer to fight for a preseason supplemental list spot alongside Harley Bennell and any other talented leftovers from the draft, let the best man win.

    Good theory depending on how highly you rate him and whether you are prepared to take the risk that another club will take him before then.

    The Swans regarded him very highly and really liked what they saw in the two years he was rookie listed there even though he hadn't played a game yet. They were very unhappy when he left. He had a very good start at the Pies. Has elite speed is a good size  but kicking is not elite. Plenty to work with and he could release Salem up the field to be the weapon we so desperately need for delivering the ball inside 50.

    My Collingwood mate can’t believe they are letting him go, it’s a big yes from me

    Lots of confusing posts in this thread.  Him ... who?

    It’s a 60/40 likelihood that we’ll give him an escape option. Not sure imo but he adds pace.  Disposal needs serious improvement which is common already in our squad.

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
