So I think the final 2 will be Carroll & Meesen, but I wouldn't be surprised if Bell, Wheatley and/or Robo go as well depending on how many kids Bailey wants.

Existing contracts may complicate things though, for example Melbourne may not be able to afford to delist Carroll. If that's the case Bell will most likely go if not contracted.

Carroll is contracted for '09 and stunningly, Meesen is contracted for '09 and '10.

If you were going to get rid of Bell, surely you'd look to a trade rather than a delisting wouldn't you?

22 year old with 60 gams of experience who has shown in patches he could be a good player.

Really? Well that sucks. I assume that means both of them stay next year.

I agree. He's gotta be worth something. And I guess anything is better than nothing.

Perhaps, I wouldn't imagine that we'd get much for him in return though. If he is traded then we'd have to find someone else to delist anyway.

I'd rather have an extra pick around 50 and that be our last, rather than use pick 90 to fill up our list.

If both Wona & Valenti are promoted that means we'll have to delist 8 to get 5 picks in the November draft (1,17,19,35 & 51). The final two delistings are what's causing the problems.

I guess the way around it would be to keep Wona & Valenti on the Rookie list for an extra season, not sure how they'd respond though.

Robertson looks like he'll be out for a significant part of next season as a LTI-list member, which gives scope for one of them to play while on the rookie list.

Wona must be a certainty to be uplifted this year. Not so sure with Valenti - looks ok in comparison with the rest of the side and is a workhorse, but we're bottom by two games with a percentage just over 60 so the comparison part doesn't really work in his favour. I doubt anyone else would pick him up either so a second year on the rookie list seems a likelihood.

I would expect Robertson rather than Whelan would be the 2nd player on the veterans list next year (10 years & 30+)

delist: weetra, bode

trade: newton, sylvia, bell, whelan, robbo

retire: yze white holland (neitz)

keep wheatley, mcdonald

Nugget, Nugget, Nugget - If Melbourne traded your list to be traded it would break the record for the most trades by a club in a single trade period. (Now listen for all those quickly doing a search on that stat)...

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
