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.

    If only we could sign him and find him the perfect life coach..

    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.

    I think Redleg was talking about our admin, not our backline.  ?

    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.

    Thanks mate, wasn't sure how that worked when someone has already been delisted.

    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.

    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.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • 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.
