From viewing the VFL games online, this kid looks to move well in traffic and has shown himself to be a clean user of the ball, by hand or his right foot, and runs all day. The signs are promising, really like what I've seen.

Example at the 12.10 mark of the 1st qtr
https://www.collingwoodfc.com.au/video/ ... gNames=vfl

Murley is built like a milk arrowroot at 178cm and 70kg, so he'll need a couple of good pre-seasons to add another 10kg to his frame in order to compete at AFL level.
He was an important member of the talented South Australian Under 16 side in 2019, claiming All Australian honours alongside Jason Horne-Francis.

All going well, he develops as an upgrade on Bianco and Calamity Brown and into something like Steele Sidebottom who came in at 182cm / 79kg, and is now 184cm / 85kg.

And seeing he has 'Cooper' in his name, if he makes it, I'd love him to get the Nickname Strop, after one of our gutsiest former players in Ian "Strop" Cooper.

A fabulous full back. Loved him.
Don't confuse your current path with your final destination. Just because it's dark and stormy now doesn't meant that you aren't headed for glorious sunshine!

No Dave, it’s your opinion that you think is the truth. Others may disagree.
I term the current Collingwood attack based strategy “Unceasing Waves” like on a stormy and windy day with rough seas. A Perfect Storm ☔️

it is true though to say it is does not bode well to be demoted to the rookie list after a year.

They why we De-Listed Murley and Put him on the Rookie List with 1 year left on his 1st Contract?
