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.

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt
