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.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.
