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.

Bryan’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.

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.

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

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.

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.

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
