If so, it can't be Bruce... might well be membrey though, which is worse. He really is the current Kent Kingsley

Bruce seems totally committed to getting to the Dogs.  Can't see where we fit in at all.

Uhoh. Yeah, Membrey is probably a worse option. Anyway, whinge, whinge, whinge.

Ha ha ha. Sorry, been out and haven’t been glued to the trade radio like some ? The players were from St. kilda, with Tim Membrey being their main one and Bruce second (once he flagged interest t

Unfortunately, he'd be always off the ground under the blood rule.

I'm not much of a Membrey fan, but he did kick 44 goals for the season.  I'd take those 40+ goals every day of the week right now.

Depends what we pay and who he keeps out of the side.

True.  Would he play as the second tall alongside McDonald?  I feel like a third tall is too much for us with Fritsch and Melksham already down there, not to mention Trac spending minutes inside our forward 50 as well.

Yeah, I reckon he's competing with Weideman for the second tall role.

I doubt there'll be any movement on this front until next year. Apart from Daniher, Bruce and Jenkins, unfortunately just isnt  much available atm. Of the others remaining Mason Wood is an interesting one, could be good but is super inconsistent and doesnt exactly form a formidable duo with McDonald imo. 

If Cameron dosent re-sign at the Giants next year then I'm sure there'll be a bonanza involving every vic club to land him, likewise with Ben King. I think the club is still in the mind of hoping Weideman comes good this year and will also be interesting to see how they see Petty developing next year as either part of the forward or back groups. The club should at least wait another year and see if that 2nd tall spot is still an absolute must fill with better talent when at least there are seemingly better players to look at in 2020.

Jenkins is good close to goal...but Preuss should do that job with a bit of improvement.

Jenkins is a million times more mobile and dangerous than Pruess will ever be!

Yep, that nails it. It's Bruce. Yeah, very meh, IMO. But anyway. He's a stopgap option, not a long term option IMO. I'd prefer we try recruiting a couple of quick smalls to compliment Melksham, Frisch, Hannan and Petracca.

Apologies for being slightly obsessed with this idea of late, but what do y’all with your learned opinions think about this guy (JL) filling the above-mentioned role? 

(Also how do you embed a video properly?)

I like it. Lockhart showed a good goal sense as evidence by that clip. But I think we need more speed in our forward 50. And more x factor. Lockhart is the sort that might kick 20 next year.

Yeah, I like how much pluck and ambition he’s shown just getting on the ground this year. He’s clearly very driven and naturally talented. All this and yet to do a pre-season with the club. I can’t help but feel he could really impress all of us grumpy fux next year.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.
