Nick Robertson is 24, 190cm, is quick, has good disposal and is a handy tagger who was surprisingly delisted by Brisbane. If we can nab him, we would have a free hit at him as a Delisted Free Agent.

 

I would definitely look at him.  He is a solid player and has courage bordering on lunacy.  That is from the little I have seen.

He must have been floated for trade with no takers.  Anyone know what the knock on his?

As  a Lions home ground Gabba watcher over his career my take would  be his only flaw is a lack of ability ie skill.

But he ticks many boxes and is one if the most determined competitors around.

Personally I would prefer if we chased Sam Gray or Alan Christiansen as I believe our needs in that small crumbing goalkicking forward role are  greater.but Nick R would not be a bad rookie either.

But firstly let's persuade  JACK MARTIN of his role and need at Demonland for flair talent and class. Now we are really talkin!

 

 

 

This is one of the only delisted free agents to date that’s worth picking up. Great competitor.  Tackles and works hard.  Sure limited but brings 100% to the contest.  Depth type but would be handy if needed.  Worth a 1-year opportunity for “free”.

You got the right guy? This guy single handedly lost them the final against GWS with his horrific decision making and disposal. He is a battler and would just be plugging a hole into something else arrived.


Reminds me of Stephen Morris from Richmond before he was delisted - hard working, mouthy, in your face, pain in the [censored] with not much else to offer..

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
