YesShould I do a poll?
lol never heard of him. I was more thinking about the reaction from their fans and team leaders.Reilly O'Brien? Fairly untried and out for the season injured. Not sure if he'd be a good fit for us.
that was what I was thinking why would he nominate without talking to parties involvedIf he nominates us then it stands to reason we have already said Yes
It could be very embarrassing for him if he nominated Geelong and we said sorry mate, we don't need you.that was what I was thinking why would he nominate without talking to parties involved
I've always thought that too, but didn't Deledio nominate us before he went to GWS, but we couldn't afford him? Might be remembering that wrong.

Surely players only nominate after they have been in private talks with another club and have reached some agreement to hook if it can be arranged. Of course that doesn't guarantee that they do eventually hook up.
Hate to do it amd this probably isn't the right place but I'm going to use common sense.
If Murph wants Geelong and will sign for $300k or so then why wouldn't you do it? In all honesty would yoy prefer Murph, Murder or Hyphen being on the list on roughly the same coin.
As for where he plays, almost every position is midfield anyway as our game has progressed to the rolling maul that is under 9's, complete with ruck nominations and any real physical contact being frowned upon.
Be a more than handy midfield rotation that could step up in case of injury/suspension/general soreness.
Also doesn't count us out of getting a ruck either which I agree is a glaring need.
if murphy is a free agent and costs little then yes. Will contribute more to the club then the likes of house and abbott even if he is only here for one year.
First caveat - you can never have too many good players. Those saying he would not get a game in our best 22 if he was fit are kidding themselves.
But - he doesn't seem to fill a screaming need and would make us older. Unless.....Gaz only has this year left in him. If he is done at the end of this season (and at age 34 it has to be a consideration), then I would green light a cheap Murphy acquisition.
Otherwise, then I would respectfully decline.
Rory Sloane is definitely coming to Geelong, Danger will get him over here! + why? Danger said Sloane has to drive 1.5 hours to go Surfing. Danger is constantly posting pix of the Surf from his balcony.
Will it cost us picks if we get Marc Murphy though? I agree a ruckman should be our number 1 priority but if we don't have to give up anything I don't see the harm in grabbing Murph for a couple of years.This upcoming draft is talked up to be a Super Draft.
I think that I would rather go to the draft table and pick up some good kids.
Besides, I think that a quality ruck is more important atm than an aging midfielder.
No it won't as his a free agentWill it cost us picks if we get Marc Murphy though? I agree a ruckman should be our number 1 priority but if we don't have to give up anything I don't see the harm in grabbing Murph for a couple of years.
if a player never actually plays more then a couple of afl games then he doesnt contribute to the side. Just like sam blease. wasted spot on a list. This is not a point about house or abbotts ability. They may not of been treated fairly by the MCs and may have deserved opportunities. But it seems highly likely now that they will never play more then a token game at our club given our injured players are now coming back and thus in hindsight have been wasted picks.I was agreeing with you till you had to add the last bit. I don't see how House and Abbot relate to a mids spot on the list.. but I guess what you are saying is we have players on our list now who you believe contribute little and may never be worth their spot.
do any of those players come ready made and basically for free?Please no to Marc Murphy. We have enough midfield depth and he we don't need another injury prone player who isn't any good under pressure.
We need ...
1. A legitimate ruckman.
2. Some classy goalkicking small forwards
3. Some hard bodies who are good under pressure.
4. Some elite users of the ball.
5. Hard working rebound debounders.
6. A quality tall forward.
we dodged a major bullet on deledio.Yeah, that's correct. The proposed deal was Deledio for Motlop. Richmond then decided they didn't want Motlop and since he was unable to be offloaded, we then couldn't afford Deledio. Caddy was then offloaded instead though
If Stanley can keep up last week perfomance for the rest of the year that’ll be great, we could then draft Dahlhaus and a young ruck as well as pick up Murphy and a few promising kids in the draft.I get the feeling we're right into Murphy, where there is smoke there's fire. I'm like most Cats supporters, not overly keen but for the right price, it may not be a disaster. I'd have a ruck and even Dahlhaus well ahead in terms of priority though. If we can't land some of our other targets, I think at the right price he'd be okay.
Murphy enhances one of our weaknesses, free or not. We grow as a club by strengthening our needs and weaknesses, not adding to them.do any of those players come ready made and basically for free?
