Quite interesting to see just how they are going to work it. Will be even more interesting to see how it plays out.

I wouldn't mind giving a young guy a shot:

Maverick Weller
Age: 21 Career games: 32
After showing promise in his first two years on the Gold Coast, the nuggety midfielder had an ordinary season in 2013, managing only four senior games. His best performance came in round 23, when he racked up 27 disposals, but that wasn't enough to save him from the axe. Said on radio this week he had spoken to several Melbourne-based clubs, with St Kilda his preferred destination.
Tom Ledger
Age: 21 Career games: 8
The West Australian midfielder delisted himself from St Kilda after being told by coach Scott Watters in the lead-up to the Gillette Trade Period that he was only a 50-50 chance to hold his place for next year. Has shown signs in his brief career to date, and will be hoping to convince a club that he can thrive with a change of scenery.
Alex Forster
Age: 20 Career games: 1
An All Australian at under-18 level, Forster's early career with Fremantle was hindered by hip surgery. A versatile mid-sized defender, he managed one senior game in 2013, but could not establish himself in Ross Lyon's team. After being delisted, the South Australian cancelled a planned holiday to Bali in order to focus on his fitness in the hope of winning a second chance.
or
Jeremy Laidler
Age: 24 Career games: 26
Played some good football in defence for Carlton after transferring from Geelong at the end of 2010, but found himself on the outer with new coach Mick Malthouse this season. Asked by Malthouse to play as a forward in the VFL in a bid to win his senior spot back, Laidler struggled to find peak form. Removed himself from the Blues' list at the end of the season, and will look to find a new club and return to his more familiar defensive role.
I like the sound of Maverick Weller and Alex Forster.
Jeremy Laidler - could be the tall depth defender that a lot of people are asking for.

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

  • PREGAME: Richmond

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Fremantle

    A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
