"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.

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
