"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.

  • PREVIEW: West Coast

    Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
