Demons cut Valenti and Buckley

[hoopla 418]

You expert Hoopla!

Where did you get your source re Melbourne's salary cap room? You haven't got an arrangement like some others where you just slice 10% off the top for you to keep?

Leave me alone Darren... just because you kicked 12 goals once and still couldn't get a game

The $500k has been quoted several times. I agree with rpfc .It does give us greater incentive to take Ball

BUCKLEY, Simon - Delisted

MCLEAN, Brock traded to Carlton for pick 11

ROBERTSON, Russell - Retired (Maybe)

WHEATLEY, Paul - Retired

WHELAN, Matthew - Retired

VALENTI, Shane ® - Delisted

ZOMER, Trent ® - Not Retained (apparently)

Bartram, Cheney and McNamara are still uncontracted as far as I know.

I was under the impression that we cannot delist further after 31 Oct??

Your're the flavour of the month within the MFC at the moment, the big mover and shaker! You have access to the inner sanctum and have all the gossip. I'm just touting you up as everyone should follow you views and opinions as these are what is going to shape the club. I see Zoomer go the axe because I said that you were him in private corresspondence.

why on earth would we pay him out and keep him are we that flush ? If we pay him out its to be rid of him. If not we'll just wait the year. Or he may even start playing footy...sillier things have happened

I agree. I just created a theoretic step.

We just hold onto him next year.

That would be the dumbest thing I could think of for Newton to go and do.

You missed that game at Sandy when Newton inexplicably........

Otherwise I agree he will be with us next year.

Did you ever ask yourself the question. Why?

Because he was a better footballer than Valenti would be my guess

T-Mac is contracted, FYI.

Is he? That's news to me.

You wanna prove it?

As far as the rest of us know, McNamara was signed to a 2 year contract when he was drafted in 2007. That puts him OOC.

[Guest Deefence]

Well it was (unconfirmed by me, as am not a stalker) on his facebook page a few weeks back. And spoke to a current player (who shall remain nameless) on the weekend, and asked him a few questions (as you do!). He mentioned among other things that T-Mac got a contract extension.

Other topics raised:

- No non-Melbourne players training with them, unlike previous years

- Strauss returned to training down nearly 8kg from his weight last year, as a result of injury / surgery

- All players are doing Movember

- Bartram and Jones are dominating the gym sessions

So I guess it didn't really warrant a huge note in the Herald-Sun that a three-game player gets another go, or it got overlooked during trade week.

Depends on how much stock you put on 'facebook updates'...

Are you sure you're not a stalker...

All players doing Movember........yikes !

So by procees of elimination, if T-Mac did get an extension, am I correct in saying we're led to believe that Bartram & Cheney are the one's whom remain uncontracted ?

As far as I can tell, both Cheney and Bartram have been offered one year contracts...

[Don24 103]

Well someone has to go because at the moment we only have 5 places available which leaves us with 1,2,11,18 and either 34 or pick 1 in the PSD. Id be dissapointed if we wasted either of them yet kept Bartram.

Do you have confirmation on this ?
