please, please, please dons, NOT murphy. will be reasonably happy to get allan, but murphy is a useless ********. would only (maybe) give our last draft selection up to get him :mad:
Collingwood Gazette lacks credibility.

i just hope it's not true. is there any essendon supporter who would see getting murphy as a positive step?

It'll just delay the development of Winderlich, Reynolds, Watson, Walsh.
As for that article, it doesn't really give any reason why Murphy would be coming here. It just says that we are keen to bolster our ruck and midfield and will try to talk to Carlton during trade week.
Allan has already mentioned he'd like to go to Essendon, not sure if we've spoken to him. There's been no word of Murphy leaving Carlton (not that I can remember), nor any word of us talking to Murphy.

The only thing Murphy is good for is getting uncontested possessions - which admittedly he is quite good at. He neither uses the ball exceptionally well nor wins the ball himself, and his pace is nothing great. I can't see where he'd fit in. Unless we just want to play him for Bendigo and ruin his career as pay back for '99, of course.

Hmm just realised Murphy is an awful lot like Cory McGrath.

I'd be sorely tempted to not renew my membership if that squib murphy EVER wore the red & black.
he is carlton slops for starters (still feel a little queasy about Allan for the same reason actually), but he is NOT what we need.

Don't be upset Bomber fans, they'll be great pick-ups for you !! (giggle giggle snigger)
I'm more interested in finding out what we will get in return for these two ??

Jacobs, most likely.
Edit: But I doubt Murphy is involved. Most likely Allan and a pick.

Hey magpie troll can you actually prove we cheated year after year after blah, blah, blah or are you just copying what others say?
Show us when we cheated, how much and what was our penalties then show us that Collingwood did it as well BUT were smart enough to come clean in the amnesty then scream all you like. At the end of the day Essendon do not need your approval or interest AND we still have more premierships (not one was won when supposedly cheating) than Collingwood.
BLAH BLAH BLAH YADDA YADDA YADDA RUBARB RUBARB & WHATEVER.

Murphy wouldn`t be that silly. He knows the reception he would get if he ever came to Essendon.
Indeed. We have long memories amongst other things.
Dont want either of them. We build our own...its been succesful so far so lets stick to it

LOL:D
There is no way we will be getting Murphy.
We may need Allan but lets hope not.
What would the deal be?
We take Murphy and they'll give us allan?:D

I will NOT renew my membership if Murphy becomes a bomber.
Allan is tolerable because the need exists, even though he's bordering on hack status.
As for Murphy, a thousand times no. I will lose all faith in football if this happens.
