Confirmed Tim Membrey - joins Collingwood as a DFA

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

If Demons dont sign him they should fold as a footballing entity

What about Membrey and Stringer just swap clubs. A change of environment could be good for both.

 

[Johnny Bananas]

Dees are super keen on Membrey. Likely to trade for Tomlinson so the Saints don’t lose out in Battle compensation

Fair deal for both sides.

Being linked to Collingwood now.

Has to end up somewhere, was right back to playing really solid footy consistently again by the end of the season and kicked 30 goals (from 19 games). Including 14 from his last 6.

Bit staggered by the lack of interest in him. Fine player. Would love him at Collingwood, granted he'd likely only be depth for us. Given how many games McStay, Mihocek and Elliott missed between them this year, it's likely he'd play plenty of games and be able to make a case for best 23 anyway.

Just goes to show how highly the clubs rate this draft, and how much they’re valuing list spots, so that they can fill them from the draft.

Tomlinson is another that I’m pretty stunned hasn’t been picked up. He looked pretty much every bit as good as Battle against us earlier in the year, and would be a great depth option for clubs like yours or mine, after losing Murphy and Battle.

Also found it quite baffling how North went for Darling over Tim. Two years older and kicked just 22 goals (from 21 games) this year, to Skunks 30 from 19.

I think Melbourne is the best fit for Membrey. Clear upgrade on Melksham and McAdam, good support for van Rooyen and Turner, and they can throw Petty back where he belongs.

Melbourne has been the best fit for him this entire time, but for some reason they don't see it.

The elephant in the room is Tim's struggles last year, missing an elimination final.

Do we really support mental health issues as a society?

Membrey opens up on mental health battle

St Kilda forward Tim Membrey has revealed he hid the full extent of his mental health battle from teammates last year before his shock late withdrawal from an AFL elimination final in September.

No one will say it, but Melbourne will be wary, as much as the Saints were with Soldo's knee.

Really good get for Collingwood. I've always rated Membrey and think he can have a significant impact over the next couple of years.
