James Stewart

Has officially asked for a trade and Carlton lead the race but is open to any Melbourne based club.

Surprise surprise Carlton Essendon and Collingwood are the clubs interested yet we are not which is disappointing.

198cm key forward who has kicked some big bags in the NEAFL. Would be the perfect foil for Hogan and add an extra big body as Weidemen continues to develop.

Surely we are having a serious look at him.

    No thank you. He's a slightly better forward than Sam Frost

    I had an interesting discussion with a Carlton supporter on Saturday. He was fairly assured that the Blues would be getting both Marchbank and Stewart and possibly even one more GWS player who isn't getting a regular game. I thought that getting one player who can't make the grade at another might sometimes be helpful but trying to build your side up around what are effectively 'rejects' was going over the top. That's where some clubs appear to be heading.

    Don't think that necessarily applies to GWS. They still have players not getting a game, who clearly would at other clubs.

    2 years ago Carlton way overpaid for Jaksch who was a speculative player who probably won't make it and Whiley who was a reject depth player.

    But last year they got a good deal for Plowman who's good enough to make it, Phillips who's a handy 2nd ruck then 2 guys in Sumner and Lamb who were young enough to fill out their depth spots given how much Carlton needed to clean out. So 1 good player, 1 ruckmen who are their own category and 2 rejects in the right age bracket.

    Marchbank was tracking well for a young tall. He's certainly not a reject. Stewart is more like that, but given Carlton's lack of tall forwards he's worth a look.

    Looking at his NEAFL form it's mostly 2 or 3 goals in the first half of the year then in the back half he kicks a few bags of 5 and then an 8 goal haul. I think you'd have to look up what opposition they were against and how much GWS won by but that's some serious goal kicking. 

    I'd certainly rather have Stewart than Dawes or Pedersen but I'm really not sure what he'd be worth as a trade and what contract he'd want. If he has to be paid big money and it costs a early 3rd or late 2nd round pick (that we don't have) I'm not sure it's a good deal.

    We beat them this year and they will be one of the teams we have to beat to win a flag.

    Not sure we need to top up on their rejects, we've got a couple and one gun. Maybe we should look at targeting another gun in the next few seasons.

    I wouldn't mind Stewart, especially if Hogan were to leave. But if the rumors about Hogan signing an extension are true then I feel he'd be low on our radar.

    Word is he's capable of playing 2nd ruck, however 19 hit outs in 17 AFL games in 2015 when he was playing the 2nd ruck/forward role doesn't fill me with confidence.

    I think we're better off drafting Darcy Cameron and picking up Luke Lowden as a DFA personally.

    The danger is though that they are probably not getting the stars and gamebreakers that the early picks may otherwise get you.  I'm not convinced that there are genuine A Graders not getting a game for GWS.

    Carlton/Silvagni are going all-in on the GWS offcuts.

    Unless James & his father are the types to forgive and forget I can't see him ending up at the filth.

    I agree, I don't want the players that can't make it at GWS, I want the ones that can.

    We have a few that were from GWS and couldn't get a game and that's fine, but no more, I'm sure we have enough depth players and now we need best 22.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
