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.

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

    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.

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

    Murray has signed with Williamstown for next season. 

    /thread. 

    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.

    • 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?
