We all love to have our say as to who deserves to be kept on the list and who ought to make way. But a lot of the time we don't know anything about a players' contract situation. People are always wondering about who's in contract, who's not. So I thought maybe we should make a thread where we can list players' new contracts when we actually know about them. This can then be the source we can refer to when considering what might happen to certain players.

In the last few weeks we have found out the following (dates are the last year on the player's contract):

Davey - 2013

Sylvia - 2011

Wonaeamirri - 2011

Jamar - 2010

Miller - 2010

Also (from http://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/newsart.../default.aspx):

Newton - 2010

Bate - 2010

Frawley - 2010

Petterd - 2010

Garland - 2010

Jones - 2010

From http://www.melbournefc.com.au/News/NewsArt...7/default.aspx:

Maric - 2011

Morton - 2011

Grimes - 2011

Martin - 2011

McDonald - 2010

Green - 2011 (http://www.melbournefc.com.au/tabid/7415/default.aspx?newsid=68889)

I assume Cheney and McNamara are OOC this year (standard 2-year deal when they were drafted in 2007), and since I haven't found anything to say otherwise, I think Watts, Strauss, Blease, Bennell, Jetta and Bail are all contracted up until next year.

RR says PJ and Bell are contracted for 2010 but I haven't found anything that confirms that. So there are 17 players there who I've found confirmation about, and other 10 or so who are unconfirmed but likely.

I would much rather keep Buckley than Valenti or Bartram

Valenti is a rookie and if Buckley goes, in all likelihood, Batram will be gone aswell.

Only Batram, Buckley, Cheney, and McNamara are OOC. To bring Pick 18 and 34 into play we need to move on two of those players.

poor Buckely.. mfc could go without pick 34.... couldn't they?

I think i am to biased towards Buckley.

and unfortunatly, he will go.

Cheney and McNamara will be given another year, but i do not see them being a important role in defense and if they do not have a good year.. they'll be gone.

Based upon the reported shallowness of the draft, along with our large number of very young players, I would think that the possible upside to Buckley is worth more than a fairly speculative Pick 34. That just leaves Bartram as the only further delisting and means using draft picks 1, 2, 11, 18, PSD1.

I would have the following order (preferred to keep at the top)

Buckley

Cheney

Bartram

McNamara

Tough call coming up.

Bartram

mcnamara

one of which will go i assume depending on Cheney

Over your head obviously.

Ok, tell me, where exactly does Cheney think he's off to if he doesn't stay at Melb?

Its fascinating to hear that our football dept is on the edge of their seat waiting for his decision

And yet we are stuck with Newton. Somebody wasn't thinking about that one.

I look at the four players and think that in some ways, each of them would be stiff to be delisted. Reaslistically though, would any of them get anywhere near our premiership-aspiring sides of 2012-2017? We have to at the very least give three of these blokes the chop to make room for the 5 ND picks, Spencer and PSD1. Missing out on pick 34 is not an option for mine.

Bartram - OOC - Rumours flying

Bruce -2011

Buckley - OOC

Dunn - 2011

Warnock -2010?

Moloney - 2010?

Rivers - 2010?

Sure. But I created this thread in the hope that we could get definitive answers about contracts. You haven't provided a source for Bruce's or Dunn's contracts.

As far as I'm concerned, Bell, Johnson, Bruce and Dunn are unknown. I'm not saying you're lying or making it up, but you don't have any source to back your word.

    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

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol
