"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.

  • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

  • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

  • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
