It is all getting a bit confusing for me

So far we have

Robbo, Wheatly, Whelan, Brock gone

that to my understanding leaves us with 2 more to trade/delist so we can use our draft picks although we may pass as early as 34

how do Valenti & Spencer fit into this are they counted as rookies still or are they officially on our list becuase we elevated them??

So if it is 2 players to delist who will it be Bartram, Bell, Newton (even through contracted), Mcnamara,PJ,

Correct, we need to delist or trade 2 more players to use all those draft picks... If we want to promote Valenti or Spencer, we would have to delist more players, however the rules maybe altered where we could keep rookies for 3 years, which would be ideal, to then upgrade Valenti/Spencer as one of our 3 players next year, in the compromised draft...

I think that because Brock has left, we will upgrade Valenti to the senior list...

They are still rookies - the elevation was only temporary.

With the changed AFL rules we can keep on one 'third-year' rookie.

Bell is contracted, while Jamar and Cheney are still uncontracted.

Note that we could also free up space by trading one or two players.

Apparently there has been interest in Bell, Buckley and Jamar.

If moving Bell/Jamar/Miller and Buckley can improve our spot in the draft, we may as well look at what is out there.

Brock was in our best 22 and was traded, I would consider the above to be on the cusp of the best 22. all these guys can play, but would all be better suited to a stronger team as none of the mentioned players are match proven game winners. They could all be strong addtioans to a winning side, as for us our 22 is up in the air so seeking picks could work for both parties.

The more I read, the more I am convinced Jamar is on the move. Bell, Miller and Bucks on the move? Your guess is as good as mine!

1 Robbo

2 Wheatley

11 Whelan

18 McLean

Two more....

34 McNamara

PSD 1 Upgrade (i.e. player + pick for slightly higher pick)

If not possible, then delist Bartram

Retain Spencer if possible.

If not possible, then delist Miller or Buckley

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo
