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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
