Mass delistings:

Wade Skipper

Beau Muston

Beau Dowler

Cameron Stokes

Travis Tuck

Gary Moss

Michael Johnston

Jarrod Kayler-Thomson

picking through that lot, there might be one or 2 worth taking a chance on, but I'd rather not.

 

The hawks are obviously letting this fine basket of goodies go for a reason !!! There all nqr ... I say pass

Which Beau was it that debuted with a BOG against us last year?

 

Skipper and Muston are the surprises for me.

I'd have Skipper over Paul Johnson anyday.


Both Beaus break easily (ie: injury prone or car accident victim respectively - stay away.)

Skipper would be a very decent option for a rookie list spot, as insurance if Jamar goes down injured at all.

Skipper has shown this year he can be competitive at afl level if he's called upon. He's not a star, but would be a handy insurance policy.

There is no doubt in the rookie draft we're going to pick up a mature age ruckman from some lower league, Skipper at least has some proven form at afl level.

Ranga Ediriwickrama was delisted by the cats. I thought he could play... I guess not.

My Council gives you 4 waste collections a year. I trust the Hawks abide by the rules and properly ties up all that garbage and places in small piles outside on the front nature strip.

Muston.

Honestly calling your son Beau...... :rolleyes:

Skipper at least worth a look.

Maybe so.

Ranga Ediriwickrama was delisted by the cats. I thought he could play... I guess not.

Great name though.

Gee, that's a lot of delistings.

For a team that has been crying out for ruckmen for two years, I'm surprised they think they're well off enough to drop Taylor and Skipper. Especially given Skipper played a healthy portion of this year in the seniors. Including the final vs Freo. As an insurance rookie he couldn't be that bad, but I would prefer us to play Martin.

The rest are all duds, with the possible exception of Carl Peterson, but his head isn't in the right spot. Apparently nor are Dowler's or Hooper's.

Muston played one good game. It was agaisnt us last year on debut.

I wouldve thought the name Ranga would give him automatic entry to a spot on our list.

Rookie maybe...

He was supposed to be the goods & it was said the cats got a steal when they took him on a NSW scholarship.

I think the following would be worth a look (In order)

- Wade Skipper

- Beau Dowler

- Beau Muston

Pass on the rest.

Wow.. Thats pretty strange..

Skipper

Dowler

Moss

I think all must be looked at, Skipper was improving throughout the year I thought?

Wasn't there talk earlier about dowler being alright, just needs a break from injury and spot in someones forward line?

And moss was a decent football for some of the game I saw?

Hawks are making some strange decisions............

hawks have made a lot of room...i can see them loading up on youth at this years draft.

Honestly calling your son Beau...... :rolleyes:

Hey, Beau is a fine, gentleman's name!

Haven't played close attention to the hawks, but...

I don't rate Skipper any higher than PJ;

Dowler was struggling to get a touch in the Box Hill reserves;

and Moss, from memory, struggles to hit a target and everything else about him is average (no outstanding qualities).

Pass, pass, pass.

Muston would be the only one i'd consider as a rookie, and his body is probably spent.

Big clean out ; Sqawkers obviously to use all picks + psd . Massive call for them given the contrived draft .

You'd think Skipper could get a game this year if halfway ok ... Simply can't be , most others either injury magnets or not up to the job . Mfc might talk to Wade I suspect as formality .

Hawks wouldn't want to slip up huh !! Lol .. That'd be a damn shame

Bad year to do it.

GC gets all the picks and GWS gets all the 17 year olds (although they wouldn't be available anyway).

I thought maybe they'd keep a few on 1 year contracts so they could load up some more next year with better picks.

It's a massive roll of the dice.. Funny timing :huh.:

In other news, CJ apparently delisted as well.

Surprised David Hale's not on the list as well :lol:

 

I actually rate Beau Muston if he can his body right might be worth a rookie spot.

  • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
