How good is Emma Murray?
- Thread starter tigerjoe
- Start date
Thought she left St Kilda because half the team wouldn’t buy in to her theory
Believe you are correct, same as Peter Burge, he spent only 1 year at Saints as the club didn't buy into his philosophies
'Emma turned to the playing group and delivered a powerful message. She encourage them to put on their boots every day for her Will. To walk for her Will, and to play & fight for the ball each game for her Will. She asked the group to dedicate their bravery for the game to Will and all others who can no longer play themselves. The level of emotion in the room that night tells us they will.' - Emma at the RFC Will Murray Fundraiser back in 2016.

Emma is every bit as invested in our club as the players are in her. She's not just a secret weapon psych, she's Richmond Family.
Having heard her speak at 3121 in a far less powerful presentation than the one above must have been all I can say is she's one of the more captivating speakers I've ever heard. We're very lucky to have her but I think she gives us her best too because she loves our club.
Embracing the Murrays

Well I hate to gloat, because i am not that type.....
But Trossman had just done his ACL, most people thought thats it, we are toast now.
I would argue that this Richmond team has gone on to become the Greatest Richmond team ever.
Not just thanks to Emma Murray, but she has played a part bigger than most would understand.
And its not over yet......not by a long shot.
Her Bio.
Didn’t know about the tragic circumstance with her son Will.

Pretty good write up about Will and the way Emma dealt with it in Konrad Marshall's 2017 book.
Well I am going to show my age here, but I reckon I have a middle aged crush on Emma.
Reckon she would have been hot as hell in her early 20s.

I was thinking of our recent success and seeking to identify the five most important employees at the club.
My list in order was Dusty, Dimma, Burge, Cotch and Emma.
As a complete outsider, can only just be guesswork. But this group with others like Hartley, Fly, Peggy, Brendan and one A Rance, have been fantastic.
From this group my sense is that Emma has been the glue.

Just wondering if she's traveling with the club atm?
I think she'd be required more than ever given the circumstances.
The lack of composure in that last term concerned me a fair bit.
That was the panicky old Richmond, not the cool calm heads we've seen in recent times.

The live crowd looked like it was a factor, and we haven’t really had many live opposition crowds (loud ones) since 2019.
Vlastuin for example is usually immune to external noise, but after his mistake his body language is different to normal. Mindfulness isn’t like riding a bike, people need constant tune-ups or it slips away a bit I reckon.

Is Murray working at the Club any longer?
I might be wrong, but I thought she was now living in Queensland.
She might have some contact with individual players but maybe it's sporadic.

Emma is not with the team at the moment.
I know because she lives near me and I saw her going for a walk yesterday with her hubby.
Not sure why she isnt with the team, but she has given our club so much in the last few years....well the results are on the board aren't they?
Given what she and her family have gone through since 2016, if she needs time for them or herself then she certainly deserves it.
We owe her a great deal.
