that sucks

 

[Smoooothy]

****!!!

 

[Viva la Mattner]

Harry Himmelberg, name your price

 

[MrBarry]

For ****s sake, that's a huge blow for next year

 

[WeeBlake]

Oh man

Literally 2024 may as well forfeit.

Murray had taken 3-4 big steps forward this season. Next year would have got the recognition that was deserved.

He will leave a large hole for the next 12 months.

 

[Samcro24]

Shocking luck for him, showed a ton of improvement this year.

 

[Eagleboy2011]

ffs Thats most of next year as well.

Hes not a key defender. he's a flanker

ffs Thats most of next year as well.

Best case scenario after the bye next year

 

[1990crow]

Hes not a key defender. he's a flanker

With Butts, Worrell and Himmelburg you could fashion a defence.

Wild idea - could Thilthorpe play back? Too slow on the lead?

 

[Crow till I die]

Absolute disaster for us. He was the guy you build the defense around and now we won't have him almost all of next year either....we were already thin on taller defenders and now not only Doedee but Murray down with ACL's..uugh. Hope he recovers well and he will be greatly missed

 

[davos44]

Horrible news, hopefully he will be back around round 10 next year or so.
Fingers crossed Butts has a good preseason.

What odds they draft one of the young 1st round KPD's this year now and the midfield gets backseated for another year

 

[Jeffcrowe]

As tempting as it is to go large and spend big on a key defender I think we should get a cheapish option

And knowing Muz he will be back by about round 9-10 next year

 

[Edddiiieee]

Can this week get any worse

 

[CrowTownRoad]

Devastated. He’s a huge part of our team and future.

Zero. Wouldn't be ready to play anyway.

Yeah I don't think we can afford to do anything else. Eggs need to still be in midfield basket.

 

[CrowToon]

Hopefully Butts rises to the challenge.

Must aggressively Get another KPD (not necessarily blue chip but can't just rely on Butts and others to play tall)

Hopefully not at the expense of our midfield goals.

flipping sad.
