Good to see all the best to him

 

[DapperDon]

Oof. Do they know he's 183cm? Or that McKernan was delisted?

I dunno, 183cm seems to be our go to for a lone forward 50 option to bomb long to

 

[windyhill]

Good luck mate.

Welcome to the club Murky.

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

Good to see and congrats to him. It’s interesting seeing Draper there at the end as well, seen that a few times with new blokes. Draper seems to be a central figure socially which is an important role as well

It's the unwritten ruck duty imo

 

[The Devils Advocate]

The man is 6 foot and people are acting like he's a bonafide small-forward haha.
Medium forward is anything from 182-192 IMO.

 

[HirdsTheWord]

Well well well.

Very accurate long kick. A former midfielder - so should have some class with the ball on the deck.

Though... can be easy to kick 4 if you nab a couple of frees.... will it be a flash in the pan? Or is he the keg we need?

Not much harm in adding him I reckon. Good luck young unit. May you run through the unsuspecting.

sounds like a pretty decent pick up for the fwdlne.

so i guess we will see Essendon play him in the back pocket.

 

[The Devils Advocate]

I wonder if he can regain his endurance, we could have a legit inside mid with a big peg.

It depends on how you play more than your size. Jamie Elliott plays as a medium at 178 than Mason Redman for example at 187

 

[brutus76]

Jack Titus kicked 970 goals and he was 5'9".

He's got his body right. If he presents and we deliver it to him he's a bloody good kick!

From what I have read from Eagles supporters he's like Chappy without the burst of speed.

He's Mitch Wallis-lite from what I've heard, except maybe a longer kick

 

[Bjchan13]

Looks like he could be a very handy pickup. Should be hungry with a point to prove so the effort is almost guaranteed

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

These are similar thoughts to when we picked up Townsend and Hibberd. Hopefully more success this time

Will win the goal kicking award at the club with 12

 

[Old Stuckup]

Love seeing a heap of the boys giving him a mention on their Insta stories today.

 

[Maxabillions]

Loving the salt on the Eagles board. They seem genuinely pissed off he’s not on their list.

Here's hoping he specifically tears WC a new arsehole.

 

[Ati Tude]

And the Weagles supporters will boo him if he plays for us against them even though they delisted him.

 

[RedmanWasHere]

I forgot Murky had glandular fever.

Would've thought that the Eagles keep him circa 2016 to allow him recovery time.

Also, No. 39's vacated because of McQuillan.

Waterman and 39 would fit like hand in glove.

If not for McGrath I’d say he has Captain written all over him.

Think he wore 42 in the practice match
