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

    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.

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

    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.

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
