    Don't know why supporters would be against this when he's another we could get for nothing..

    He's had a couple of injury riddled seasons which haven't allowed him to play consistently enough to get his spot back in the best 22 but he's the type of player Roos would look at.

    Patrenko when fit provides the same forward pressure as players like Ballantyne, Puopolo, Rioli and McGlynn. They're all manic in their attack on the ball and man.

    We have nobody in our forward line who provides that. He can kick a goal too. I don't know why supporters just switch off when a player gets the flick at another club. He's got attributes we need. He fills a hole.

    Him and Garlett just being in our forwardline whilst the ball is in dispute puts pressure on opposition players.

    I wouldn't be surprised at all if we picked him up. Hopefully his body isn't too shot.

    He's miles slower than all of those players you mentioned so whilst he chases very hard he doesn't have that brilliant attack dog chasing that panics defenders, he doesnt score goals all that regularly and he doesn't win much of the ball.

    I'd much prefer to play Garlett, Kent, JKH and Salem. All 4 can do what Petrenko does defensively and contribute more in attack.

    Petrenko would be competing with Bail for that depth/experience spot and despite his poor footskills I think Bail finds as much as the footy, runs much harder and has more versatility in playing on the wing. 5 small forwards are enough on the list for 3 spots especially as we should look to draft or trade that to bolster our midfield which could mean that we have mids learning the game whilst playing forward in the team.

    This thread is such a disappointment after the other ones we've got going at the moment.

    Ok just for you.

    If the drunken man in a red coat and yeallow jumper, stumbles over the blue gutter, and destroys his white hat, what colour would his wine bottle label be?

    Pay out Evans and pick him up, or take him as a rookie.

    Both are better options than spending another year with a VFL player that isn't getting another contract.

    i thought he played pretty well against us when we beat Adelaide earlier in the year. But there's a lot of duds who have had good games against us over the past decade.

    ND2, ND3, and ND40 are all the space we have now.

    If PSD2, a DFA, or ND53 have a talent that we want - we will have to delist a contracted player.

    Clubs are reticent to do this but I think it is a necessity now to at least remove one more player from the Primary List.

    Is that accounting for the delisting of Blease, Strauss & Tapscott?

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
