with Essendon in order to secure a higher draft selection. I am wondering if Collingwood should have made a play for him or not. Perhaps we did not have the selection/s that would have orchestrated a trade. Regardless - being the grandson of a former Collingwood legend (Murray) & the son of a former player (Mark) - I am wondering what other contributors to this site think. I know that he has been in & out of Melbourne's senior team in recent years but he obviously possesses some ability & is essentially a key forward. Or has he been too inconsistent to warrant such consideration? Any comments?

No.

Soft footballer, and outside of his surname we wouldn’t have even looked at him.

 

[Jen2310]

Between Kreuger, Johnson and now McStay -- probably wouldn't have been any point. Last year when he was OOC, I would have thought so, but think that ship has sailed.

 

[Masked Magician]

Absolutely no for a couple of reasons:

1. He didn’t support collingwood growing up. Not sure how that is possible when you’re grand father was a 2x premiership player at the pies, a premiership captain, a life member, a member of the team of century. His father also played for collingwood. Really makes you wonder how that happened but to me makes sense when you see how soft he is on field.

2. He had the chance to play for us at the end of 2021. We were circling all year and he chose to keep playing 2s and re-sign at Melbourne than to get traded to us.

Wasnt he on decent coin, as he had like a couple of big games and got a big contact. Not worth

 

[GoldenMagpie16]

No thanks. I’d rather keep Madgen

No exactly right, it’s the surname l…otherwise you’d not even notice him.

 

[The Royal Sampler]

He’s the antithesis to what we are looking for; the opposite of McStay. He doesn’t impact the contest at all, he either marks it or he’s next to useless.

 

[Scritchyscroony]

No

Peter Wright though Apparently we had zero interest

 

[KillerMagpies]

Soft.

 

[BigVic]

No.

 

[Markfs]

he didnt barrack for the pies when he was young? I dont think we should get anyone who wasnt a pie supporter.....

No.

 

[LuckyLee]

Definitely not. No mongrel in him.

We already have more than enough recycled/project tall forwards, none of them A-graders.

On the plus side, if there’s any club that can help weideman harden up, it’s the bombers. Whatever it takes

The problem with the name for me is that Murray is synonymous in my mind with 1976. I've never forgotten that nightmare of a year

 

[JM#1]

I was interested last year. Not now.

 

[manicpie]

No ******* way, he ain't going to all of a sudden become a gun just because he went to Essendon
