Chris Bryan

What are your thoughts on us drafting him as a ruckmen/pinch hitting forward until Spencer develops. Can kick a long ball is and a good player.

Bryan, 27, played 30 games in three seasons for the Magpies after arriving via the pre-season draft at the end of 2006 from Carlton, where he played 16 games in two seasons.

He was originally drafted by the Blues from VFL club Frankston with the 73rd pick in the 2004 NAB AFL Draft.

Bryanโ€™s best year was 2008, when he played 17 senior games including both finals against Adelaide and St Kilda. He also played in the memorable extra-time semi-final victory over West Coast in 2007, as well as the five-point preliminary final loss to Geelong a week later.

Been at two clubs where they are screaming for a ruckman and failed to make the grade. We have a couple of those already on our books.

27 years old...I'll pass thanks.

No good...I'll pass thanks.

No for the Dees. Bryan should be, and probably is, pursuing an NFL punting career now.

Collingwood weren't screaming for a ruckmen they had Fraser and Bryan before Wood came. If you recall Bryan was a very influential player in the extra time win over West Coast in the finals.

See the Coughlan thread. Both of them are not worth taking.

Oh God no

Collingwood still have Fraser and they have got Wood... They just traded 14 for Jolly. Now why did they do that?Hmmmm

Why start a thread about Chris Bryan?!

Chris Bryan?!

Chris Bryan?!

If you take garbage and dress it in a Melbourne jumper, guess what, it's still rubbish only it's wearing a Melbourne jumper.

27 years old?, no. We allready have 2 mid 20's yr old rucks. I'd like to think we'll either draft, or rookie another young ruck or 2.

I wouldn't mind James Craig as a follower type ruck/forward, or Vardy from the draft.

I hope we can rookie another mobile young ruck.

I'm starting to go off the giant rucks as the game becomes more strategic & quick.


Not a chance in HELL............

Ummmm.....

Chris Bryan...... Where do I start??

More to the point.... Where do I finish???

The End!

Is this a joke?

Chris Bryan is average at best- we have enough players that "ruck" and "mark" that are average at best. How would we benefit from adding another (and older) player like this?

I love the dees and get a membership each year, but if they signed Bryan I would have to think twice!

NO,NO...and NO

i reckon the days of the the massive slow big dopey ruckmen are quickly coming to and end. The future ruckman will be in the

mold of a mitch clark or a matty kruser. Not to mention hes not even a good massive slow big dopey ruckmen! :wacko:

Yeah i agree, especially after watching paddy ryder.

No thanks. It's far more important for our future to get games / experience into Spencer, Martin, Meesen and perhaps a youngster from this year's draft.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmyโ€™s inclusive bannerโ€”"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwoodโ€™s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.ย

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecastโ€”20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze โ€” expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kateโ€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodโ€™s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
