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

Who have u been watching this season?

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.

    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.
