David Neitz has retired.

Ben Holland, Jeff White and Adem Yze will all probably do the same thing.

That is a hell of as lot of money that will be freed up. Probably about $1.5 million combined from those 4 guys hanging up the boots.

So at seasons end we will have a LOT of money to spend on players from rival clubs that are out of contract. We could offer more than any one and we will probably have pick 1 in the National Drafts and PSD.

The problem is, will any unsigned players want to come to the stuggling MFC? Lets hope so, 'cos for the first time ever we will have the salary cap space to lure 1 or 2 star players.

    Surely they are thinking of retiring before the season is over?

    I'm more concerned about the 92.5 threshold...

    Might have to re-sign Bate for $750 000...

    Get Pavlich for $900k a year. He's the only marque player I would look at. Great presence, great skills, doesn't get injured and the best (easily) player in a trash team.

    And he's already made his real $'s in WA real estate. And he's from Vic.

    Before you get too carried away watch the TIGES, still on only 2 wins @ nearly the halfway mark. Not more than 4 wins will see them get pick 1...

    Where do you get $1.5mil from?

    Neitz and Ooze are on fair money, but one or both are on the veterans list which means only half their pay-packets would count to the salary cap...

    Holland COULDN'T be on much money, he's a year-by-year signing and would have been retained on an amount that would be close to league minimum, as they most likely never had plans to play him TOO much.

    And White will stay on he's got at least another year in him, maybe more...

  • Quote

    2 of their salarys only account for 50% in the cap, as they are veterans anyway...

    someone said 6 weeks ago that white has been telling people 2008 is the end

    fev, brown or pav would be nice :)

    Now they're only 1 win away. And they could have beaten the Dogs and played well against the Cats and Hawks. And they haven't played us yet.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
