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.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
