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?

  • Quote

    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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
