WIth the story that Andrew Swallow is a big target and that Mitch Clark and Rhys Palmer are also on the agenda i was wondering who is out of contract after 2011?My link

Scully is the first one that comes to mind, but he seems a pretty loyal type of guy, so hopefully he will sign on quickly.

Who of our big name players could be targeted, who are out of contract?

BTW is there something like GWS get two years of uncontracted players or was that something about PSD or Rookie draft?

And yes i know it is a long way away but over the next four months is when GWS are allowed to sign these such players and with the rumours already coming out i thought why not set the ball rolling.

They do get to take players over 2 years, so any player out of contract 2011 or 2012 is up for grabs.

Those coming out of contract at the end of next year are:

Sylvia, Scully, Gysberts, Morton, Wonna, Maric, Martin, Fitzpatrick, Gawn, Cheney

I hope they take Morton.

That is absolutely ludicrous. You're better than that, mate.

I hope our club is strong enough that NO ONE will leave. We've fended off the Gold Coast (Frawley, Rivers, Petterd and even Bruce all saying no) so now it's time to fend off the rampage that will be GWS.

Guys like Morton, Gys, Gawn, Fitzpatrick and Scully are all imperative to our development as youngsters going forward.

Thanks for that ox

Sylvia has to be our first signing out of those as soon as possible.

It would be a disaster to lose him

Yep, the only 2 players that the GWS would genuinely chase hard and would genuinely hurt us if we left would be Sylvia and Scully.

Like Davey, Jamar, Frawley etc, these 2 are critical to our success going forward, and should be signed on 3 year deals hopefully

Sometimes I think an IQ test should be required before being allowed to join Demonland.

This could be a reason why Bruce should NOT get more than 1 Year If he stays.

No point culling off half the posters.....

Everyone are out of bounds...plenty of premiership medals there...

But would you let in the upper or lower half?

That seems naive in the extreme. All GReaterWesternSydney has to do is wave big bucks in front of any Vic. footballer and they will go. The AFL is regulating the departure of Vic. footballers to the expansion states so the locals don't rise up and revolt. Whether we can hold onto an uncontracted Scully remains to be seen.

I think our FD has already shown how thrifty they can be when it comes to matters of this ilk. I will again back the FD to make the right decisions. GO DEES !!!

Ohk, if they were to take one of our players, I would want it to be Morton.

big difference in attractiveness between living on the gold coast and living in western sydney.

GWS is only a spiral torpedo away from Melbourne's nightspots and AFL culture.

Beat me to it Steamin. Our FD managed the process extremely well in 2010, and I have every confidence that they will do the same in 2011. Besides, I very much doubt that any of our young guns would be lured away by big $s to play for a 'nothing' team, when they have the prospect of playing beside their mates in a premiership team.

Scully's family have bought a 2 bedroom unit close to the city for TS and his sister to share. There's no chance that he will be leaving Melbourne.

We are Melbourne.......They are Greater Western Sydney (whatever that is) which would you choose when you REALLY think about it. Kevin Sheedy can only say so much. B)

That may be one of the most misguided posts I've seen. Are we to believe that because someone in Scully's family bought a place, and that they didn't even buy it just for Tom, that he'll be committed to the demons for more than 12 months?

That purchase means absolutely nothing to Tom's future.

Ah... You must be unfamiliar with the little known parents-buy-property-in-melbourne-therefore-cannot-leave-for-interstate-club rule.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
