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.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
