    Why would we get anything for White when we have already said we don't want him?

    thats the whole point mate...getting something for him. otherwise then he can go thro the draft

    Officially he will play his last game for MFC on Saturday. He has dubious future ahead of him in the AFL. So would a another club give pick 40 or prefer to get him in the PSD for nothing? I cant see them lining up to give up draft picks for White in the last tainted draft before GC comes in.

    The simple reality is that after Sunday's game neither player has any real effective currency to Melbourne. They can walk into the PSD..and do whatever they like and good luck to both of them. It'll be totaly up to teh football Gods.and we were never going to get anything in return as they cease to be ours. They can do as they please. Its not worth any paper to try to get anything..

    we just move on..as simple as that

    The only way we'll get anything for White (or Yze if he decides to play on) is if multiple clubs want them. If Carlton and Sydney both wanted Jeff White, Sydney would have to offer something for him or else they'd just lose him to Carlton (who will have a better PSD pick than them). This would cause the Blues to consider offering something better than the Swans are. At least, that's how I understand it.

    Yze wore 44 as Shaun Smith Took that HUGE Grab at the Gabba

    Correct. 1995.

    Why would we get anything for White when we have already said we don't want him?

    :wacko: That will come down to clubs like Carlton and Sydney - if they require his services. If Sydney want him they will have to offer a draft pick. Because Carlton will have a pick before Sydney in the PSD.

    Correct. See above.

    Incorrect - you cant trade delisted players. Both have indicated they will nominate for the draft!

    They are still on our list atm, and will be during trade week.

    Cast your mind back less than a year to a similar circumstance with King and others at Geelong.

    Right. It's the same deal with Damien Peverill. If a couple of clubs happen to want to pick him up for a year or two, Essendon could still get something for him.

    On the MFC website you can leave a message for Ooze and Whitey, which will go into a book to be presented to them on Sunday. A brilliant idea, assuming one of CC's.

    No. Only if they do not get a trade completed- they will nominate for the draft. Still on our list come trade time.

    Roger that!

    Dear dear, I stand corrected. The MFC can token trade to try and find then a home a la Peter Walsh and Stephen King. Now that every AFL club knows they will not be on the list, they are hardly going to offer anything other than circa pick 95 (which we would not use) when they can pick them up for nowt in the PSD!

    Ie they have zero trade value.

    Having said that - best of luck to both of them!

    Hey, it's the internet. Everyone reserves the right to nitpick.

    Congratulations to both Yze and White on long and distinguished careers at the MFC. Reading the tribute to Ooze on the MFC website just now, you forget how good a player he was.

    An interesting aside, with the retirements of these two, it leaves just one All-Australian representative (one 1 occasion) on our list for next year in Junior. Would any other club boast such a desolate figure?

    Thanks for such great memories. You gave us reason to party after so many games. Two champions of the Red and the Blue.

    Congratulations to Both Jeff and Adem on wonderful careers at the Demons......

    They were and will always will be legends of our club and have performed admirably for the club over so many years.

    I wish them all the best for the future at the same time as thanking them for their past.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
