    Maybe Louis Emmett?

    Would be very happy with Louis Emmet. Plays more as a key forward that can pinch hit in the ruck rather than a pure ruck. Think is 198 or 199cm so a great height for a fwd/ruck role. Strong grab, clean skills and competative.

    Cooper Duff-Tytler is the other one that's probably going in the first couple of picks. Very athletic and mobile. We won't be able to get him.

    i would presume that if heath came in and campbell is being held over as a teacher / break-glass-in-case-of-emergency then that's curtains for verrall?

    That's what I figure as well. I think the club values Heath over Verrall, considering a multitude of factors especially forward craft ability. As he's out of contract, that's probably curtains unfortunately for WV.

    Edit: WV has kicked 5.7 in VFL this year in 18 games, MH has kicked 8.7 in VFL this year in 10 games and 3.2 in 4 AFL games.

    If Marshall leaves the Saints, they will keep Heath in my view.

    Isn't he uncontracted? If he wants to come here they won't/can't.

    Verrel has improved quite a lot since joining the list, his ruck craft and follow up work is VFL standard.

    However, he has no other weapons. Too short, not a good mark, leap is not great, not a forward.

    Yeah he was meant to be a Grundy style around the ground type and he doesn’t get much of the footy and uses it very poorly. I suspect Heath takes his list spot. No need to carry 4 mature(ish) rucks

    Heath should be a better pick up than R.Marshall due to his age. We need ruckmen who can play forward and therefore is capable of kicking goals. Sadly we miss Luke Jackson. Perhaps Kalani White will becomes the new messiah. Where does that leave Verrel ?

    I’m thinking that possibly Will Verrall could go back, he’s a good size for tall back especially if Tom Fullarton doesn’t make the cut??

    Not sure what Heath gives that Verrall does not, considering the 2 extra years?

    Having TC as 80% ruck time would not be very conducive to any developing player with only 30 minutes per game. He is having a hell of a season though. Hopefully Casey can win it again this year.

    Guess we will know more at the end of the finals.

    Heath looked promising at AFL level. Verrall hasn't played a game.

    Probably for one last year.

    Looking likely that our ruck options for next year will be Gawn, Campbell, Heath and Kalani White?

    Your second sentence would suggest otherwise

    Campbell signed up for 2026!!!

    Surely that’s made it less likely than we would grab Heath

    Heath would most likely stay at St Kilda if Marshall goes

    They also have Dodson, who was preferred to Heath late in the season and Keeler.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
