"MELBOURNE has locked in a meeting with delisted Magpie Sam Murray next week as plans for its list transformation continue. The Demons have long been among the keenest parties in Murray since Collingwood informed him he wouldn't score a contract for 2020."

He is from up this way in Albury/Wodonga and I know some of his knockabout mates..

All I will say is stay absolutely clear from this muppet.

Seems their no [censored] rule might have some flexibility 

 

Let’s make it happen. Although his kicking may be questionable at times, this bloke is a good one on one defender, he has pace to burn and he would give us run out of defensive 50 that we sadly lack. He costs us nothing, is super fit and desperate to prove people wrong.


The poor lad should have a meeting with an orthodontist first. He has a smile like a row of condemned houses.

About time our club had a player that opposition fear, even if it was just their breath.

He's showing all the signs of someone that is desperate for a AFL lifeline and to repay the faith to whoever picks him up.

My only issue is that there will be a sense of complacent once he settles and the urge of falling back into that trap again will be quite high.

I'm concerned about the effect on our players. This could end up a pyorrhic victory.

Hey, Rab, some of us lower classes have bad teeth, some of it is in our DNA. I was a regular dentist visitor in Germany when I was five, bin a regular customer ever since. I wouldn't hold a man's molar superstructure against him...

Todd Viney was no dental beauty queen either, just for the record.

I come in peace Dieter. It's just a little observational humour. My background is no less humble I can assure you.

If he is so good, why are Collingwood letting him go?

they don't like him anymore, he wouldn't share his drugs around.


Good pace. Questionable kicking. Not overly solid. Character is in doubt.  I think there are much better options.  Why recruit a bloke with suspect skills when that is a major problem already? Doesn’t make any sense.

Yours in Molar rack and ruin...Apologies if I sounded stern and moralistic...

we never take you seriously when you get all moral, dieter :)

Might be a good cheap pickup. Still young and does have some very good pace. I would be interested to know what would happen if he does fall back into bad habits.

They have a plethora of players capable of playing the small running defender role. Quaynor, Murphy, Noble all ahead of him now. We do not.

I don't think he will be complacent, given this is probably his last chance at an AFL career, but then again who really knows these guys.

Have you all noticed that he is a smaller replacement for you know who? Similar attributes with a smaller build.

Answer: he is off the list.

 

All my Colllingwood mates saying good run and dash, bad ball user..... not sure we need more of this.

Certainly don't.  Taylor will be allover this one i assume.

IF we are getting Young i really don't see the need other than depth.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • 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.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    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?
