Yep, he has a massive upside will come cheap 3rd or 4th round pick.

He will be an upgrade on Preuss as he is more a forward that can ruck, rather than a ruckman playing forward

 

Would take him as a cheap option. KPF who can play ruck so improves our depth in our weakest list position.

I don't not want him per se, but we're looking at 2.7 marks and 0.4 goals per game here...

Handy for depth maybe, but unconvinced he's going to make us much better.

(For the sake of statistical comparison - TMac averaged 3.2 and 0.8)

Perfect

 

At least wth Ratugolea you will be getting his best years. With Brown you are getting a player who is past his prime and best at playing in a position which potentially no longer exists. 


He needs time but he's got a future as a ruck/forward I think. He'd be a very nice partner for Jackson when he's the primary ruck. 

But I don't think we should spend the resources on a player like that whilst Gawn is the number 1 ruck and Jackson is the support man.

Hit the draft and find the next Esava now so he's ready to go in a few years.

GWS really should grab him in the Cameron trade. He'd pair nicely with Preuss.


Is Daniel Cherny his manager?

Edited by A F

Yes. 

Whenever I'm watching Geelong, he seems to be playing alright.
Doesn't seem to be a ball-magnety and clearly I've missed the matches where he's stunk it up.

We need someone to be a big bodied replacement for Preuss.  Whilst he wasn't getting regular games, he was able to provide a contest in Gawn's absence.  I'd hate to see Jackson having to ruck entire matches at his age/weight.  At the moment, Tom McDonald would need to cover Gawn in case of injury, and if he leaves as well, then the need grows greater.

Would want both and Brown would be the priority

Either him or Ben Brown. Oh sorry Ben can't mark either!!!

You have NFI if you’re comparing Ben Brown and Sava 

Apart from slaughtering Lever in his debut game, I don't think I've ever seen him do anything of note. Pass.

Is that the day he had 8 touches and kicked 1 goal?  Massive slaughtering there.

He's just turned 22, so he's still young for a tall forward/ruck and has some good attributes to build with the right development. We'd get him for a 3rd or 4th round pick. He's worth that cheap punt IMO.

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    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.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    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?
