David Hale is not a good option just more dead wood.

We'll need some experience & mature bodies to add to our depth if we want to really climb the ladder over the next 2 years, whether they be a charman to call on if PJ & Spencer are gone, or a Hale type, whilst Fitzpatrick & Gawn build on their frames.

The competition for spots will push the kids to raise their standards. And when they need to be spelled, their is a mature temp, to step up, that doesn't cost an early draft pick.

    If we trade and recruit for depth then we may as well close up shop.

    Anyone we go after must be seen as being regular if not best 22.

    And I would not recruit "a charman". We already have one of those called "a meesen".

    Rookie age rule changes

    thought Id throw this here...may have some relevance to things going forward

    I hereby dub this "The Michael Newton Rule".

    Looking at the AFL-CBA there are only references to minimum salaries and senior match payments for rookies. Unless the AFL have a policy which restricts this somehow (which you'd think would be unlawful) I don't see why the club couldn't negotiate an acceptable deal with Newton and keep him on the RL. The only thing I was unsure about was whether he could stay on there which it seems he can.

    Not that its a total surprise, but there is now confirmation Miller will definitely be delisted at year's end.

    From TheAge today: Demons development coach Brad Gotch, who is also coach of the Scorpions, said yesterday that Miller was not in Melbourne's plans for next season but was a chance for a farewell match against North Melbourne - after 133 games with the club. "Hopefully, another AFL club might look at him but if not I'm not sure what he's going to do," Gotch said.

    That now confirms 3 open spots on the list)

    - JMcDonald (spot opened by Green replacing him on the veterans list)

    - Brad Miller

    - Plus we all know Daniel Bell is a certain delisting

    With McKenzie and possibly Spenser being upgraded to the senior list, the only question is how many picks we want to use.

    Assuming 3 draft picks will be used (around pick 14, 35, 53ish), we therefore need to delist 1 or 2 more players.

    Options include McNamara and Maric, or we may even lose a player to GC17 (Bruce? Warnock?)

    From the list given there, you may find:

    Bail contracted to 2011

    Bate re-signed to 2012

    Watts deep in discussions about an extension (2013?)

    Until they're announced, they don't go on the list.

    After taking into account that this years draft is a seriously comprised one

    and listening to Cam Schwab last night I think we will only make the min. number of draft picks

    Which I think is three!

    We have a lot of picks from the previous couple of years that have not had a run due to injury etc.

    e.g.Sam Blease.

    I think 2011 will be about seeing which of the current crop of untried players can cut it at AFL level.

    So a couple of players we all assume will go e.g. PJ may stay on the list for another year.

    same here, MFC would not have delisted him if GC were interested.

    We haven't delisted him, we told him we won't be offering him a new contract. If GC offer him a contract presumably we'll get compensation. Otherwise they'll have to draft him which they could do. If there's interest from more than one club we could trade him.

  • Quote

    We have to be honest here and we will not get compensation for Miller.

    If we do it will be like a 5th rounder which we won't use.

    The only thing we would use them for would be to promote rookies I would think.

    This leaves us with 7 unsigned.....

    Warnock, Bruce, Jones, Johnson, Moloney, Blease, McNamara.

    My list has Warnock signed through next year. Having said that, my list also had Dunn signed through next year which was evidently incorrect, so I suppose we'll just have to wait and see.

    Blease and Maloney i have no doubt will sign. Johnson and McNamara i feel will either be delisted (with the chance of being re-drafted, if nothing better comes along) or being re-rookied. Jones, Bruce and Warnock are very likely to continue in everyones trade talks and speculation, more so Warnock and Jones!

  • Quote

    This draft is so strong and deep, I don't think we can afford to not at least use our 2nd round draft pick.

    I think PJ and McNamara have to go, with Tommy Mac a very good chance to be rookied if he hasn't been taken by the GC.

  • Quote

    Im hearing the interchange rule of 3 interchange and 1 sub player will definetly come in next year. This makes it very hard to pick a second ruckman on each team for a game week. I think PJ is gone. We need a player that is a big target up forward that can contribute and pinch hit in the ruck to give Jamar a rest. Surely Stef Martin and Fitzpatrick are options we already have here??

    With Max Gawn and Jake Spencer as depth players just at the moment?

    • 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.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
