Tom played ruck and forward for Bulldogs VFL this year, knows Hannan real well. Had over 70 hit outs one game followed by 60 next game with 6 contested marks. Kicks like a mule - these new rule changes will suit him down to the ground. Had several injuries but fully on top of them now. Looks like being delisted - great pick up in my opinion. Have recommended him to recruitment. Known to Chris Connolly.

To me a great pick up if can pass medical. Better than Preuss in my opinion. More experienced, better ruckman whom can go forward and kick goals.

    Very happy as another back up to awn & Preuss for next season and a solid optino for our VFL team.

    Rookie list at best

    I think we will rookie another experienced ruck and he could be the one.

    If Max or Preuss go down, there is no back up, as Bradtke will be too immature.

    Having let go of two ruckman, the inclusion of Preuss and one other restores the balance. Bradtke can then be developed without undue haste.

    Thanks for the post Tom. Welcome to Demonland. 

    We should be having a good look through the state and local leagues/delisted players for a young 198cm+ forward with ruck stop gap potential or a ruck with upside. 21-24 year old range. Someone like when the Bombers added Shaun McKernan. Or really just a younger, taller, more agile Cam Pedersen.

    Adding a player of Campbell's age would just clog up the list and Casey.

    If Max goes down, and Pruess goes down, and the rookie goes down, then we wont have a ruck. Best recruit a backup for the backup for the backup, and grab an extra backup just in case. Basically we need 8-10 fully functioning rucks on our list.

    That’s the problem, we have gone for kids and they have failed...need mature bodies for this role.

    The Dogs though enough of this bloke at one time to name him captain in pre-season games. How the mighty have fallen.

    We did. Austin Bradtke. 

    We had Flip and King at the same time. Not a crime to get two kids at the same time again :)

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
