I'd be happy to trade Murphy to the Eagles for Matty Rosa. I think Rosa would get more game time/responsibility with us than the Weagles, and probably vice versa for Murphy. Can't see the Eagles wanting to trade for a player with attitude issues. They're quite picky with their trades.
Rumour is Russell Robertson is talking with the bulldogs. How about this...
Murphy to Melbourne
Robertson to Bulldogs
Ray to Fremantle
Melbourne get a replacement forward
Bulldogs get a forward
Fremantle bolster our midfield
Everyone strengthens their weaknesses....

I hope you are wrong as we got our old pick last year in acker we dont need another 28 yr old in the forward line

Our weakness is a lack of skinny midfielders who can't kick?
I don't want players just becuase they can play in the middle, or players who want to play at Freo because they want to come home. I want GOOD midfielders - ones who can get the ball and actually deliver to a teammate, so that the likes of Pav, Taz Wiz and even Murph get the chance to score goals time and time again. Surely they aren't that hard to find?

Nicoski apparently is expected to look around. In\out of their 22. (Todays West)

Nicoski is totally left sided and was found out badly on 3/4 occasions last night.
He'll be trade bait but we don't need another half back flanker.

I'd be jumping at the chance of getting Nicoski. People forget how good he was before last year. The guy has blistering pace, i've seen him runaway from Aaron Davey at full pace.
At his peak he looked like making the transition into midfield. We don't have a plethora of defenders capable of sticking with their players on the lead.

I don't think we should trade with the weagles. Full stop.
Unless they want to give us Kerr for Murphy and Duffield (who they are apparently interested in).... then I might be able to overlook his past indiscretions and welcome him with open arms.
Otherwise... Stamp the file: never to trade with again.

In fairness sabre, I'm pretty sure the club was hoping that Murph would be spending the majority of '07 at full-forward, with Taz, Wiz and Pav sharing the other spots. Murph had every chance of stitching up full-forward in the pre-season and the first week or two of the season - he barely touched the ball in that time, and unfortunately seemed to drop his head. Hopefully he kicks a bag for Souths tomorrow and leads them into a GF next week.

I agree with your point.
But it wasn't a stretch to realise that both Tarrant and Murphy were similar type leading forward's. My understanding is the plan was to isolate Pavlich more often, Tarrant playing up the field.
Doesn't leave much room for Murphy.

Murph is an out and out full forward. Taz plays at his best further up the ground - his ball winning ability and delivery, along with his pressure is very good (and that's without taking into account his occasional yips and general dislike of taking shots at goal). Pav can clearly play either as a stay at home or roaming forward. I think there is more than enough room for the three of them, especially with Farmer at their feet.

Pavlich is as comfortable on the lead as he is one on one, as he is in a pack situation as he is off the ground
This is why he is the competition's best forward
Murphy in my opinion doesn't have the all round ability of a Pavlich, he is more specialised like Tarrant. I see them as very similar type players, leading forwards.
I would prefer a Warnock or Sandilands resting in our forward line than Tarrant AND Murphy.
My opinion is hte moment we took Tarrant, Murphy's future at the club was sealed. Highnsight is a wonderful thing, but surely people in the club that agree with me must have realised his trade value was at its peak.

Murphy is a full foward, and has demonstrated a complete lack of work ethic and hunger if the ball doesn't hit him on the chest...Murphy, if he gets traded has sealed his own fate.

If the WB are chasing robertson then the I can see possibly Tatter going to
Melb? with a WB midfielder type coming our way there would probably be some draft picks involved

A bit harsh on a guy who is 21/22. The same could be said about Buddy Franklin, whose 2nd efforts are poor and his tackling is below average.
Too true.
We also tend to make the runnings and push for trades. What I'd like to see this year is us being available to trade but not pushing for deals. With Judd and a victorian club the big trade this year hopefully they will be the ones willing to pay us a little extra to find something to get the deal done.

When spud shows at least some potential to kick 9 goals you may have a point.
