Let's just say if he didn't intentionally touch cocaine he probably would have been in the minority.

I don't know, but i'm willing to be a guinea pig and test a range of scenarios (guvna i slipped and fell into a bath of coke)

I was suggesting it was the other way around - who we intend to draft influences who we target in DFA.  If we're taking Young we've got less need for HB depth and Murray and if we're not taking Jackson we have more need for tall depth hence Brown.

Yeah what DeeSpencer said.

Well, we didn’t, and we did, so does that rekindle any interest in Murray?

Murray has some stains of cocaine, but Brown has stains of EssUndone.

Probably not. I was just plain wrong with my reading.

If Brown is coming i've got to get on with my family especially near my birthday so forgive but not remember.... 

A Sam Landsberger piece on Tuesday suggested we were one of 3 clubs still in the hunt for Murray. (GWS and Richmond the other two) I’m not sure how this would work given we only have the two list spots available?

It's my understanding that we are no longer interested in Murray, unless things have changed, and I don't know that they have.

Brown was brought in as a top up player when Essendon lost all their suspended players, innocent bystander

Besides which Murray is an average player, why no club has gone near him

Bagging is rubbishing players or posters, I regard him as an average AFL player, obviously an opinion shared by AFL recruiters

And I probably played about 200 at various levels

He’s a better player than our bottom six and probably better than most other teams bottom six. It’s not always about recruiting the next Judd or Dangerfield. I still think he’ll get picked up, time shall tell.

If anyone here said that about a Melbourne player you would have a good old cry.

This thread needs a bookend. 

 

I suspect he was a back up for the last list position if Bennel fell through to Geelong.

Touch of Little Britain's politician based sketch about it....

"After a tough and stressful day at the Club, I decided to take a relaxing drive home. Clearly distracted, I found myself in an industrial area near Dandenong where I had a chance encounter with a chap named Wheezy........"

I wonder why we went cold on him. Better available or if there was something about him that made us step back

Limitation of spots on list would be one reason and the change in type of player needed resulted in Brown getting the nod as a KP player not a running type.

Rivers  has also filled that vacancy  as a half/back /mid and running type and is 4 years younger taller and stronger in the long run.

What I was thinking, but we did seem to go from interested to not at all in a hurry. Anyway, no big loss. Other teams were not kicking down his door either.

Now with Aaron Neitschke sadly reinjuring his ACL do we have another look at Sam Murray?

 

I definitely like Sam Murray's pace and run and carry with the ball.

Nevertheless, it's definitely worth re-opening the conversation.

Another option could be the number 1# mid-season rookie draft pick Josh Deluca who was delisted from Carlton perhaps?

Aaron Neitschke will probably be added to the LTI list for 2020 so it is worth looking at what other options are out there.

 

Here is some highlights of Sam Murray.

 

Highlights of Josh Deluca when he was originally drafted by Fremantle.

 

Otherwise, we can simply wait until the mid-season rookie draft in the middle of 2020 I guess?

I don't think we have any room left on the list, other than the spot waiting for Bennell.

Murray has signed with Williamstown for next season. 

/thread.

I think the reference was to an extra spot from the KK LTI.

Players were drafted mid-season this year, hardly think it's /thread time due to that.

 

I have no intel, but my gut feel is that clubs are likely to avoid this guy while he continues to claim no wrong-doing.
