Toast Welcome to Fremantle Tobyn Murray - Pick 40 of the 2025 AFL Draft

[Constantgin]

Great pick, really good prospect and fills a huge need.

 

[go_the_dockers]

I hope the Wombat is going easy on the Grazing. He looks to have a fair bit of competition around the burrow.

Yeah. He needs to come back fit.

 

[kuhni]

I trust our track record with mature ager small forwards out of the VFL.

 

[CaseySibosadoHOF]

VFL stats run through for Tobyn Murray in 2025:

• 14.9 disposals/game (7.8 kicks)
• 4.1 i50s/game
• 6.2 CPs/game as a player that's taken like 1 or 2 CMs all season
• 1.8 clearances/game
• 1.3 goals/game

Ranks top 10 in the VFL when filtering 10+ games, 1+ goals/game and <1 CM per game (wanted to exclude talls) for i50s, CPs and CLRs and top 15 for disposals. That's a 66 player pool. Downside statistically - only 1.9 tackles/game, and 0.8 tackles i50/game. Also handpasses a lot, but that can be explained by being a contested player by small fwd standards.

 

[rgauci]

Some genuine pace there.

 

[Tonga Bob]

 

[FreoGirl]

he has some similar moves to Bruce!

 

[Randomizor]

Speedy looking bugger

TOBYN MURRAY

“There will be an element of bias in what I say, but he is absolutely ready to be on an AFL list,’’ Geelong coach Mark Corrigan said of his bouncy small forward from Colac.

“His physical attributes are through the roof in terms of his speed, his power and his aerobic capacity. He’s one of those rare kids who can cover 14, 15km a game and his high speed is unbelievable. He’s tough in the contest and he knows where the goals are.’’

 

[FreoGirl]

I hope he plays in #61

 

[Quay Club]

Looks like a Shooter replacement.

 

[88mph]

Jib cut looks good.

Stahp it

 

[Kram]

Who?

Not quite a Toby, not quite a Robyn but man oh man.

So to answer you question I don't know.

 

[freo84]

He looks like a decent prospect. Cats know how to develop them down there so he'll come ready made.

Wallsy you've done it again.

 

[chaosball32]

Love it. Classic Wallsy left field pick.

Looks to be much more the small forward prototype opposed to Sweid who’s more of your high half forward with midfield capabilities. Murray has good burst speed, crumbing ability and goal sense. Mature ager who looks readymade for an early debut.

Like that we identified a need for forward half talent this off-season, just need Whan to slide through to cat B and it’s a pretty decent draft haul.

 

[Supercoach Bargain]

Keep number 61 available.

 

[estibador]

That's a very tasty little highlights package.

Given Wallsy's track record with identifying mature talent I'm pretty excited about this one.

No idea who this is but anyway the secret is out apparently

From Colac he will be a tough and resilant (very cold and wet in winter) , looks like a natural Winger to me so Sharpy, JOM and NOD on notice

Yes with those atteibutes. Hopefully has the fitness base already.

Country boys seem less likely to be homesick too.

 

[Knees of Ben Allan]

Jib cut looks good.

Ah, right. I didn’t realise he was Jewish.

Lots of wraps on his endurance running too, combined with his speed could see him pushing up onto a wing. Looks a decent kick too which is impressive with the kms he’s running.

Two birds with one stone pick, pretty happy with our ND selections. Kudos Mr Walls.
