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.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
