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.

    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.

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
