I think he is worth a look if cheap. We lose Grundy and Tomlinson, need some tall stocks.

    Hes actually quite talented and is one of the few rucks who can genuinely play fwd

    But he plays with this almost care free nature where he looks like he lacks intensity and any form of urgency

    Is he better than Silvagni?

    More physically gifted, but has little intensity or physicality compare to Jack.

    I can't see Tomo going anywhere.

    There weren't any takers last year and there's nothing to suggest that's changed.

    Needs to lift work rate. He put in some very lazy performances this year. Not a fan.

    I agree he is super talented. He is a natural forward who as you suggest is a good second ruck option.  And that is exactly the sort of player we need.

    But i reckon his lack of intensity rules him out from any team goody coaches.

    No coincidence he's keen to leave the Suns.

    I suspect he left the Tigers because Hardwick is like Goody in that he values intensity and attack on the ball over all else. And who is coaching the Suns next year? Hardwick.

    Josh Schache has less intensity and just  got another contract.

    2 years at 500k remaining, when he did not get any senior games last year, is a hell of a lot different to 1 year at 500k and numerous senior games where he played very well.

     

    Will be at least 3 clubs looking at him to take in that year and smooth it out with two more on less coin. If it's not us doing the same.

    I don't think he has less intensity, but I take your point - Josh is not  naturally super competitive but he still works really hard

    But despite us being desperate for a forward option Josh has only been able to play two senior games tgis season.

    I suspect resigning him is about ensuring we can replicate the one's structure at Casey.

    If Grundy goes I think he would be a better fit  assuming he isn’t on some silly contract.

    Whenever I’ve seen him he always looked dangerous up forward I wasn’t aware he was also a ruck so that’s a bonus if we need him there to.

  • Quote

    After an impressive 2022, makes you wonder why he's being shopped around. Or perhaps he's trying to avoid Hardwick again?

    Have the impression his defensive efforts are not what they should be.

    If a coach could get Chol to release some inner aggression and play more physically, he could be anything. His skills are really good and he can kick straight. But like Binman said above, Hardwick and Goodwin favour intense, contested ball players so I can't see us being interested in him.

    Some would say he looks laconic @Grapeviney? No?

    I think he signed on with GC as he's originally from that area. He was probably offered decent coin to move and from memory I think Dimma was disappointed to lose him at that time. Clearly not in his plans now though.

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
