Good luck gentlemen in your future endeavors and thankyou for you contribution to Melbourne over the journey
 

that will leave us free to exercise 1, 2, 11 18 34 and PSD1

Thought Bartram would go before Bucks, will there be more to come?

Along with many others I always suspected we'd look to get on board 6 new faces for 010. With Buckley and Valenti delisted today it would seem now we are able to exercise picks 1, 2, 11, 18, 34 and PSD1 assuming we will bail on the draft after 34.

Is Buckley to old to put on the rookie list?

Would he be worth a shot on the rookie list?
 

sad day for me!

Been a huge Bucks fan and unfortunately being injured all last year has hurt this chances.

If both fit though i would choose Bucks over Barts all day...

Be interesting to see if more is to come though..

Biskit watch!


I don't feel like we gave Buckley enough of a chance to show his worth. I know he had a bad season with injury, but when he played senior footy, I thought he showed a lot of promise. I hope he gets picked up elsewhere and that he gets himself the footy future he deserves.

CB will be disappointed re: Valenti.

We're still a spot short. McLean, Whelan, Robbo, Wheatley, Buckley all make 5 spots. That's 1, 2, 11, 18 and PSD 1. Valenti was on the rookie list, so his delisting doesn't give us another spot.

As it stands we'll be passing on 34. I would have thought, if we were going to delist more players, we'd have done so today. So maybe we don't think 34 is going to be of much use.

This disappoints me a little but I understand why it has been done.

I thought Valenti did very well with limited opportunities, but would have suffered game time once our midfield became more 'full' after this draft.

I liked Buckely's endeavor and dash, and unfortunately I think the Injury he sustained last year ended his career at the demons.

Thank you boys for your efforts in Red and Blue colours and I wish you well for the future.

Strange to delist Buckley unless his injury is career threatening.

He is surely better than the prospects out there for pick34 in this shallow draft.

He is great pace and great dash. Is a half back flanker. Seems exactly what we'd like.

It must be his poor decision making and poor kicking. Bailey is obsessed (and rightly so) with players who can hit targets

Doesn't this only free up one extra spot (i.e. not pick 34)? It just means that Valenti isn't going to be elevated from the rookie list or retained as 3rd year rookie, doesn't it?


point !! :mellow: i.e youre right ..lol

We can say goodbye to Dylan Grimes then. Would have been a nice family connection but meh, tall defenders would be at the bottom of our wish list.

Seems like a contradiction to me, sylvinator.

Personally, I never saw anything other than pace from Buckley. And I think there has been a growing trend moving away from athleticism and towards skill in football.

the club may yet announce more delistings...probably unlikley but not impossible

aww.. i wanted to see much more of Buckley.

Best wishes to the both of them! and i hope they manage to get into a another team and continue their careers.


Awwww, always sad when people get delisted.

:(

Its a shame that not everyone can get a go. This is what has to happen when we're rebuilding through the draft...

Maybe they want to use pick 34 on Kane Tenace?

YES!!!!!!!

Yep. That's my reading of it. Barts may be added to the list if the rumours are correct.

Delisting is obviously tough on the boys, but I expect they saw it coming .......... and I'm certainly glad that the MFC have made what some around here will undoubtedly see as the wrong decisions. Personally, I'm very pleased that TMac may have missed the chop. IMO he shows loads of promise.

Good luck to Bucks and Valenti. I hope they get picked up by another club.

 

thought valenti showed a bit and is stiff would step into juniours shoes as the hard nut with it being his last year...

Very sad to see them go....but unfortunately they had there chances to impress in a less that impressive side. I hope they both have more luck elsewhere.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
