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?

    • 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.

    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: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
