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.

  • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
