Worth a punt?

Does battle hard and can give us some depth back/forward if we suffer from injuries

Thought he was ok in the cameos last season which is why he was picked ahead of Ash Johnson

Injury-hit big man Nathan Kreuger, former Saint Jack Bytel among three Collingwood Magpies delisted (afl.com.au)

Not sure about picking up a player who is always injured as a depth replacement for injuries.

He has definitely shown talent but can't stay on the park.

Rookie list option at the most.

It's a free hit

 

 

I would consider Membrey or Kruger for the reasons above (all things considered like age, injury history) - better than backup - could make an impact at crucial times if not season regulars. Kruger is a beast.

Our back depth is an interesting one given 2 of them are playing as forwards.

Think we're 1 big fella short but not sure if this is the answer.


Would prefer to keep Hore as cover for Lever and Tommo cover for T Mac

If Tommo leaves I agree we are one tall back short

Well no brainer we go after him now that Tomlinson is goooooooooooooooone

 

if we're going for a delisted tall, u want reliability. so membrey is front of the queue. down back id look at ethan phillips or harry arnold but probably unnecessary as im expecting petty goes back next year 

Pies need his type more than we do and delisted him.

Constantly injured and 15 games in 6 years is not a good recommendation.

Petty doesn’t go back if May, Lever and Tom are playing. One more season will change that though.

15 games in 6 years, but of course one of those would include torching us.

Ordinary player, a no from me.

We should get him, just to watch him kick 8 in the intra-club

Would be a good SANFL player but thats about it.


He clearly has talent but 15 games since the start of 2021 has red flag written all over it.

David King last night reeled off half a dozen players, either delisted by their clubs or told to explore their options, who were taken late in the draft by another club.

He included Billings.

Not one success story.

I just can't see Billings, McAdam or Fullarton getting a regular gig.

And then we have Laurie, Adams, Sestan, Verrall, Kentfield and now Tom Campbell.

Spargo has a lot of ground to make up. Hore is only ever going to be back-up.

That's close to 25% of our list.

I don't want Freddy Kruegar. Nor do I want Membrey.

Far too injury prone for my liking.

 

Would rather the Demons take a chance on Denver Grainger-Barras from Hawthorn.

 

He was pick #6 in the 2020 AFL National Draft and still has a lot of talent and potential. Would rather we snap him away from Carlton too!

I don’t rate him but he did get a hold of May and Co this year with 3 snags and 7 marks.

Wouldn’t be a better option than Turner in terms of best 23, but you can never have enough depth.

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
