Adam Campbell & Ryan Murphy

Bingo
in Melbourne Demons

Hi all,

I was having a bit of a look through bigfooty and found one post a bit interesting.

It was along the lines of would Melbourne be interested in either Adam Campbell or Ryan Murphy?

This got me thinking, i personally would like to get either of these guys (preferably Murphy) as the likes of Nietz, Yze and Robbo are coming towards the ends of their careers.

Both of these players could be possible FF replacements, given the fact that i think that Bate, Dunn & Newton won't be big enough for FF, although all will be excellent players.

Now both of these boys are still young 22or 23. Murphy is 192 tall, 95kg and was a No12 draft pick, where as Campbell is 194, 92kg and was a No27 draft pick.

Now the question is what would you be prepared to give up??

Imagine a future forward line of:

f: Davey Murphy Newton

hf: Dunn Bate Silvia

    Murphy is 192 tall, 95kg and was a No12 draft pick,

    ...Campbell is 194, 92kg and was a No27 draft pick...

    newton is listed as 193 cm 90 kg

    bate is listed as 190 cm 92 kg

    dunn is listed as 192 cm 90 kg

    and they are all just 20. what makes you think they wont be big enough giving an extra 2 or 3 preseasons?

    and out of interest

    miller 194 cm 96 kg

    i am a big fan of murphy but campbell is an unknown to me.

    the only worry is that fremantle will want more that we are willing to give up... plus what has that club done to him because they dont have the best discipline record, on or off the field.

    assuming we wanted him, i think we would offer a 2nd or 3rd round pick... and freo wont accept.

    well campbell can kick a sherrin about 75 metres so maybe centre half forward would be good for him also.

    Good Point!

    Well i see Bate holding CHF, Dunn roaming forward (don't think he likes contact, never see him going one on one), and i'm not sure how Newton will turn out. I don't think MFC can have all its hopes on one person to replace Neitz. What if Newton doesn't make it??

    and out of interest

    miller 194 cm 96 kg

    Miller isn't a FF or a FB or a CHB and now Bate's taken CHF........he's gone.

    I think that Freo would be open to offers for either of them if they can hold onto Pav.

    If pav leaves all of a sudden Murphy & Campbell's value to Freo rises substantually.

    The question is what does freo need? I would offer Bruce for Murphy and their first or second round pick!?

    well campbell can kick a sherrin about 75 metres so maybe centre half forward would be good for him also.

    Campbell may be cheap as he hasn't played much afl, and with pav, tarrent, farmer etc is well down in the list of prefered forwards.

    Murphy looks OK but Campbell is a real unknown quantity. Would only entertain this on a swap of players or low draft picks.

    The biggest problem with this is that it arose on a thread on bigfooty so it has to be taken with a grain of salt.

    adam campbell, where he from?

    Fremantle....... I think!!!

    Campbell is a tall forward for Freo.

    I'd love to have Ryan Murphy, but Campbell is an unknown quantity.

    Murphy will be a very, very good player.

    Chris Johnson back to Perth?

    our priority pick (pick 18 most likely) will no doubt be bantered around for trade possbilities at years end.

    it will be a useful pick as it would be very attractive for clubs in luring fringe youngsters we have our eye on. i would definitely be willing to trade this pick if the right player came along. Miller or Jamar as 2 genuine trade baits we can use as sweeteners to any deal.

    options:

    Ryan Murphey (freo)

    Cameron Wood (briss)

    Brent Prissmal (geelong)

    Byrnes (geelong)

    all these would be worth about pick18 plus a jamar/miller/3rd round swap of draft picks

    • GAMEDAY: Western Bulldogs

      It's Game Day and the Demons will be running out on the field with a new Head Coach, albeit a caretaker, for the first time in 3,060 days when they face the Western Bulldogs at the MCG today. What do you want to see from the Demons in the first match of the Post Simon Goodwin era?

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?
