I think the rain certainly took a couple of options from us against the Pies. Helped their bigger body mids and diminished the advantage we had with talls to a degree. Although TT and Rob certainly took there share of marks it helped their defence get the ball to ground

Yep

If we had of been up by 5 goals like we should have been the rain might have helped

But we weren’t unfort
 
Strong disagree on Thilthorpe

He’s a very dangerous deep forward with the right match up and conditions - see showdown

Reckon he would have been the right way to go deep against pies if conditions had of stayed dry
Not with Moore anywhere around.
He’s 200cm himself.

Yeah, his wording makes me think this could be more likely than we realise

thats cryptic..I'll just take it as he answers the first part which is a move to the crows as I certainly wouldn't rule it out and then the second part about port by saying but I don't think thats the path I am taking at the moment....metal gymnastics and all by me here
 
Well he can’t say he’s going
Sounds like he's using the SA "thing" to feather his own nest to me, playing all sides off to his advantage? $$$$$$$

Look I understand it’s more unlikely than likely, but considering our cap space available and being a team on the rise, it’s not out of the total realm of possibility
So you think we should pay him more than his true value just to get him?

He ain't an A grade midfielder or A grade KPP.

I'm all for getting him but not for paying him big overs.

It depends what ‘big overs’ is. 5/3.5 I guess? Frontloaded. It allows us to keep A grade mid Dawson in that place, too

Either way, he’s a talent in a position of need, you chase him, offer him as much money as you can without going overboard and try and sell him on our future prospects. Worked for Dawson and Rankine

Average player salary is already above $400k (ESPN)
 
He’s very negative
Realistic, he said he's happy at Essendon, has a house in Melbourne with his partner who also happens to be from the same area in the South-East.....said they have already bought a house in Millicent where they see being their their future when he's done with AFL footy. I wouldn't be getting my hopes up too high.

Overpaying him slightly is better than overpaying some lesser needed players going forward

He’d be worth a top 3-4 pay cheque at crows especially with Sloane coming off contract

Crow proving doubters wrong on way to new deal

- Simeon Thomas-Wilson

A new deal for Lachie Murphy is expected soon after a start to the season the Adelaide small forward describes as “my most consistent month of footy”.

Murphy wasn’t in the Crows team for the Round 1 loss to GWS, but returned to the side for the Round 2 clash against Richmond.

Since that loss, the Crows have won four in a row for the first time since 2019 and Murphy, 24, has played a key part as a pressure small forward.

In his five games to date, Murphy’s disposals are up from 12.5 in 2022 to 15.2 – an increase of 22 per cent.

His score assists have risen a whopping 200 per cent from 0.8 to 2.4, his marks 64 per cent from 2.2 to 3.6, his score involvements 33 per cent from 4.5 to six and uncontested possessions 29 per cent from seven to nine.

“It probably is the most consistent I have been, I feel like I’ve had some good games at the top level but something that I have been working on is one being able to impact the game for longer and not having 20 minutes where I don’t do much,” he said.

“So being consistent in the game and doing that week to week.

“So I would dare say it has been my most consistent month of footy.”

While there have been increases across the board when it comes to Murphy’s stats, he said they weren’t showing why his start to the season was a good one.

Rather it is “doing the dirty bits” for the Crows that Murphy prides himself on.

“It is probably my weapon (doing the dirty bits) which is funny at this level,” he said.

“I know where I am at. I have been working on my game to be a complete player ever since I’ve been in the league, ever since I was a kid.

“I guess every good footy side I believe has a player like that who just does the nitty gritty stuff and I pride myself on doing that.”

This hasn’t gone unnoticed among Adelaide’s coaches and a new deal for Murphy, who is out of contract at the end of the season, is expected to be finalised soon.

Murphy himself said he was just focusing on continuing this strong start to the season.

“I’m just taking it week by week, I’m just playing my role and trying to show this footy club my worth,” he said.

“And the best way of doing that is by us winning and by me playing my role in the team

I love the footy club, I want to keep playing my role for the footy club.

“Hopefully that (a new contract) will take care of itself, it is pretty simple for me if we keep winning and I keep playing my role I daresay something will sort itself out.”
I'd like to see him play 100 games
