I went though our list last night I came up with the following list of players that I would shed in the next few weeks.

Now there are a couple on here that may be unlucky because they are out of contract.

In no particular order

Jetta, Nicholson, Gillies, Tynan, Davis, Sellar and the following retirees in Roden, J Mac and Davey.

Nine in total.

If there was a chance I would trade out any of Jamar, Tappscott, Bail, Blease, Byrnes Pedersen and Strauss.

Unfortunately there is probably only Jamar that would attract interest and then not much in value for the MFC.

What is everyone's opinion.

IMO I wouldn't delist someone like Tynan who is still young and developing, same for Taggert.

Flash, Joel Mac and Rodan have retired.

I would delist/trade Jetta, Gillies, Byrnes, Bail, Sellar if you keep Pedersen, Tapscott, Nicholson, Jamar and Strauss.

I would keep Blease and develop him. I would give Davis another year unless you were offered a trade.

That is 12 players, that is a big turnover on the senior list.

Rookies Magner and Couch are probably also gone.

I seriously doubt it would be 12 Redleg, like you I think that is too many in one hit.

To get rid of 12 you have to find 12 that are better 6 to 8 maybe achievable but I doubt 12.

think Byrnes is contracted for 14 Red

I will pay him out.

lol

think Byrnes is contracted for 14 Red

I think he was suggesting a possible trade bb

But seriously who would be interested?

We have seven I would like to trade but I doubt there would be more than one taker.

Jamar might get a little interest but that is about it.

Byrnes off the list, is a non negotiable for me.

Now for more good News the Mighty Falcons are playing for a spot in the WAFL Grand final on Sunday.

I am hoping for more good wins for the red and blue war machine.

Amen to that TBF

Are you going?

PS The mighty Norwood Redlegs are on top by two games and percentage with one game to go.

Looking good.

I am not sure if I can get there this week end as the wife away at her gold mine so may not head home this week end.

But will watch it on TV if I can.

I remember driving for 24 hours to see them win the 1995 Flag (previous win was 1975) and they were the underdogs. How great is a Grand Final win especial when it takes a few years to achieve!

The Falcons finished second but one win more then the second and four teams.

Claremont has always been our boggy team (Jessie Hogan is from Claremont).

Is it too much to ask for a real coach at the MFC and a Flag in the WAFL all in the same year?

I tend to always support any team that has Blue and Red regardless of the sport.

Then I say "C'mon the CARDIES!"

(until 1981 the West Perth FC was called the Cardinals then changed their name to Falcons)

The venom against us by the other clubs in respect to the PP is just amazing.

Brad Scott could barely control himself.

Eddie said we need to get rid of it and just have an equal competition. You are 100% right Eddie. From now on every team gets 2 friday nights. Pies have to play at Skilled stadium every year. Pies play in Perth twice each year and no more 18 games at the G. Pies play at 4.40 against an interstate side on mother's day.

Yeah Eddie lets make it a fair competition.

He from Collingwood do we care what those guys say?

I have little time for that Club ever since they carried on little spoilt children after a GF loss to the Brisbane Bears and would not let a player attend their Fairest & Best Awards Night because he want to go home to his family.

But the day they beat us by 80 points and then their thugs, I mean Supporters, beat up the father of one of our young players, now that will live in my memory forever.

Class Act Eddie, now go and FO and tell someone who cares what you think, because none of us in MFC do!

Think I will sent a picture of our Premiership Cup to Eddie for an Xmas Present in a few years time.

They are the worst Club Ever and I want Roos to give us a team that will Smash them in every game we play them.

    HIGHLIGHTS/LOWLIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne traveled across the continent to take on the Fremantle Dockers in sweltering conditions at Mandurah south of Perth in a game that delivered the club both its highlight and its lowlight in the first minute.  But first, let’s start by doing away with the usual cliches used in connection with the game. It was just a practice match and the result didn’t matter. Bad kicking is bad football. The game was played in severe heat, the swirly breeze played havoc with both teams resulting in

    TRAINING: Friday 28th February 2025

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you their observations from today's training session before the Demons head off to Perth for their final Practice Match. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning, not much wind, more than a couple of dozen spectators.  The players were up and about, boisterous and having fun. One of their last drills were three teams competing in a hard at it, handball game in a small area. Goody

    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
