I thought the trade period couldn't be going any worse. Then I saw a Josh Bruce thread

    This bloke was playing pretty good footy for dogs in year of his ACL , neck and neck with Naughtin.

    Hardly exciting but he is a genuine tall and kicked 48 goals 21 from 20 games last year

    certainly an upgrade on Tomlinson if his body is OK

    Can’t understand everyone being disappointed if we trade Tomlinson for Bruce. Crazy talk.

    He snagged 10 in a game in our premiership year. 

    It probably won’t work, but if it does…

     

    Besides, Toml offers us nothing now and Bruce as a mentor for JVR isn’t the worst thing in the world.

    Is this the same Josh Bruce that kicked 48 goals in 20 games in 2021, including bags of 10 and 5?

    Compare that to everyone’s beloved Ben Brown who kicked 30 in 19 games this year.

    Think of what a player can do rather than what they can’t.

    Delivery inside 50 is the main thing with these types of forward

    No, the same Ben Brown that kicked 60 goals in a season 3 years in a row.

    Good grief.

    I never thought this would come out of my mouth, but I think I would actually prefer Schache.

    Just off to wash my mouth out

    Why don’t you take your own advice when it comes to Brown?

    Also he kicked 3 in a flag winning side for your club.

    Saw that on a bathroom wall somewhere…

    It's the same Josh Bruce that kicked 1 goal in 5 games this year including a bag of 1.

    If We get Bruce for the right price, why not? Better than no-one…..particularly now MB has retired. He has the bigger body to contest. Bruce May suit our style of play! He is a true forward in the style of T Mac.

    Yes, the same Josh  Bruce who was coming off a knee reco and came back too early.

    He may end up being a direct VFL replacement for M Brown or he could have a massive bounce back year after a strong pre season. I’m keeping open minded and we need to address our forward line.

    I reckon Schache wasn't far off.

    Agree!! It’s not like there is much more on the shelf to buy. Shrewd idea of the club given the lack of choice. If the price is right, why not?

    FMD. Next thing we'll be bringing . . 

    • Wayne Carey in to deliver workshops on respect,
    • David Barham to run HR, and
    • Berm/Richo on critical thinking.

    Has my support!

    Money ball. 

    I wld certainly want him as a possible option coming into the season rather than not. Its not like there is a better  available option.

    On 2022 form he won't get a game but definately wld on 2021 form.

    We may end up with too many key fwd options, but BB and Tmac have question marks over their bodies, so throw another option in there. 

    Its probably 2 KF positions being fought over between JVR, TMac, BBB and Bruce.

    Then two rucks and Fritch. 

    Makes sense if its a Tommo swap.

    What’s your alternative solution? Realistically.

    Don't understand the hostility. We're swapping out a player we don't require for someone that will bolster our KPF stocks. It's a low cost depth play. Not much downside and you never know, he might kick 20-25 goals for us next season

    A player we "don't require" that played 8 games? (Bruce played 5)

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
