Alan Murray

[macca69]

He seems to have a bit of talent I remember him playing very well in the all stars game earlier in the year, will he get a game next year, he seems a much better player than guerra.

Alan Murray will probably be delisted at the end of the year, has talent but we have enough talented forwards on the park before him. Did kick 4 goals once vs the Hawks

I don't know about that

IF we did win their may be a few retirements Harvey/Jones/Powell maybe Peckett, Thompson says he wants to keep going

STone, Mcgough, Brooks and maybe Swartz are probably gone

Gherig seems to be gone already,

don't know about fiora

It will come down to how deep the two drafts are, but I cant see them getting to far infront of 5 changes

 

[luckysaint48]

Murray and stone even with all those retirements qsaint

Stone been told he's wanted next year.

Yes but can he put other players in hospital...thats the underlying question

Fair enough, we can't afford to lose another defender.

Murray should probably be gone, too many in front of him. Whatever happened to his brother Derek?

 

[plugger74]

gone thats all i can say. has talent yes but doesnt use it when selected in the ones. sorry to say his one of those players thats great in the 2s but frastrating when brought up a level.

 

[Snickers]

Stone to stay!!!!! NO PLEASE TELL ME ITS NOT TRUE. He is a *******, and doesnt even deserve to be on a rookie list, let alone an actual AFL 38 player list

 

[macca69]

Ok with Guerra gone, do you guys think it will result in Murray getting much more ground time next year?

 

[luckysaint48]

perhaps, it depends on a couple of things.
imo he has the physique to go down one of the two following paths:
- do what he has been doing in the past, to tank up over the preseason like a hamill
- or lose a bit of muscle to gain a bit of leg speed and endurance.
it's an even chance either way, we need a hard body up forward, with hamill's injuries, and now guerra gone, it's all the more important. He did well on his saints debut against the hawks with 4 goals but has struggled to make a mark in the afl since. His VFL form over the past couple of seasons has been quite good and consistent(without injuries included in that assessment), however it's yet to be seen if he can transfer that to afl. I think if he had played for anyone else but the saints or port in his career he might have established himself as a player by now.
