Player Watch Sam Murray - (Delisted 2019)

[domus]

Can we stop recruiting attacking defenders... we're a shambles down back as is, we don't need all these running back type players who generally cant hold there own defensively.

Our defense was not a shambles this year. Let's not get hyperbolic.

In that video he looks like a line breaker who picks good options and kicks it to advantage. I reckon we should be genuinely excited. I know we would be if we had have used a draft pick in the draft to get him, don't see why it's different when we use a draft pick in a trade.

 

[mike123]

He is quality one on one the way Burgoyne was for Hawks but his pace would be faster than someone like Hill. He can run the lines better than Leon Davis in 2011 and delver the ball better.

There is so much space in his NEAFL highlights!

Yep. He getting a Ton of Space though a Few Times got out of some Tricky Spots.

At least he takes the Game On. We don't have many that do that

[THATSGOLD]

He makes me wet.

 

[loki04]

I'm glad he's with us. He'll add line breaking pace and we need that. I'm disappointed at what we paid not that he's with us. Let's see what he brings to the table. We've been pretty good with recycled players in recent times.

Yes it's not the player but the price.

 

[Carringbush2010]

If he had a lunch meeting with Eddie, I suspect that we were very keen to get him.

Now we just have to have faith that we got the right kid, this is the 1st decision I'm undecided on since the end of the h/a

Because the board is generally in a mood to bitch at anything that at first glance looks questionable before giving it a second's thought.

 

[loki04]

If the deal involves picks directly from this trade I can’t separate the two, but there’s been no movement so it seems I was overly optimistic.

Were you asking the same of the WHE deal last year which was similarly overs?I’m not going to go hard because it’s clear to me that he’ll be best 22 and I didn’t expect us to learn from last years mistakes so I’m non-plussed.

Happy to have you BTW Sam

That example is so far apart its not funny Sco.

WHE was a former pick 4 with AFL experience and shown he had talent all be it inconsistent. We paid a second rounder in a so so draft. Really got him cheap.

Murray is a cat B rookie that was at best going to be offered a 3rd year rookie spot (rumours heavily suggesting he was set to be delisted).

We paid a second rounder in a touted super draft at the least a very strong draft. We well over paid.
There is every possibility that we could of secured him in the PSD.

Anyway whats done is done Welcome to the pies I hope you have a break out season and play 150 games.

 

[jonbe54]

The kid has attributes we need, there are feasible reasons for him not getting a gig in the firsts (probably behind 4 established players for his position) but the price is high.
Only time will tell if the price is right.

 

[loki04]

Ran himself into trouble a few times that he then got out of... just. Not sure he would get away with that at AFL level.

Just wait until our high performance manager gets hold of him. Oh wait...

 

[ottoman]

WTF.
I came onto this thread all happy ready to welcome this guy, expecting a late pick out only to find we have used a 2nd rounder in the supposed superdraft on a rookie.

FMD

I can't tell too much from the short clips I've seen, but some half-arsed observations:
- He won't have as much space to run in the AFL, so he'll need to develop his game/keep within his limitations
- Probably no good on his right foot, to judge from his determination to accelerate to get onto his left. Not a big drama, but not great.
- He is fast, which is obviously his biggest asset.
- He doesn't seem to just blaze away. He seems to measure the distance of his kicks, and he also manages to look inside.
- He will take some time to adjust/adapt, but he's a best 22 for us next year.

Hopefully the sting of the deal which brought him to the club will have worn off next year, and we'll be able to enjoy him for what he brings.

 

[CasuallyDressed]

We downgraded a second rounder pick for this guy.

Most clubs would have go him for pick 100.

 

[ottoman]

Man what a shit way to start the day (morning here)

what did we get for Witts
what did we get for Marley
what have we paid for this kid

The mind boggles. heck you Collingwood.
ps Good luck to Sam Murray. hope he has a great career with us. I am not hating on him, I am hating on the morons in charge of the club.

 

[DraftBalta]

We downgraded a second rounder pick for this guy.

And effectively get Tyler Brown, but yeah it aint Buddy for bananas

 

[Aishole]

All im taking out of the cost we paid is that we must rate him extremely highly. And because of that im quite comfortable with the trade.

 

[Kappa]

He won't get away with that at VFL level.. hopefully he's the kind of player who can easily rise when he plays in a higher standard comp

 

[Shade]

Perma ban me if this fella is on our list after 2 years.

 

[peter9789]

Hard to really judge given the standard he was playing in is below VFL standard. I would be happy to have him on board with what was reported early in trade week of an exchange of "late picks". So here I was thinking a pick in the 80's or so for a young lad who is a category B rookie playing in the NEAFL

Well its done now. Lets hope he makes us all eat our words next year but I think he is a highly speculative pick ...... again.

A pre season with our High performance team and we will rip those hammies to shreds

That is what I took from it. Pretty much Guarantee we can get Tyler Brown.

 

[Tittan99]

Just listen to Hine's interviews, the guy just doesn't have the guts to pressure other teams into better deals... we always blink and the other teams get what they want. I don't think he has the aggression or killer instinct needed to survive in these situations.

Trading with Collingwood much be a luxury, they literally just push us around.

To be honest I can imagine this happening with the Mayne deal. We wanted him to come to the pies and we offer him a 3 year deal. The compensation that Freo receive is not enough to land brad hill. Freo slightly threaten us that if we don't help us with them getting a better pick by adding an extra year to the contract, they are going to make things difficult for us to get our guy. Hine has no backbone, or is just extremely polite, and adds on the extra year
