Ok, here is the list of delisted players from the Gold Coast Suns.

Nathan Ablett

Marc Lock

Roland Ah Chee*

Michael Coad

Joel Tippett*

Jack Stanlake

Jake Crawford*

Jack Stanley*

*Rookies.

Not much there to pick through.

Maybe Ah Chee? Longshot though, I reckon.

Pretty sure they'll still need to make a few more changes to accommodate incoming draftees.

 

Coad is the best of the bunch but in his late 20's coming off a nasty hamstring injury - I'm not sure he's worth the punt. Rookie selection at best.

We could recruit Nathan Ablett to show the other guys how to get a premiership medal without really trying very hard.

More seriously, I'd rookie Ah Chee. Based largely on what I was aware of the time of his drafting, I must confess. Plus his name is fun to say.

classic!

Yeah i heard good things about the guy when drafted also, rookie spot cant hurt, could be the small forward we need?


Given that GC had a bigger list than anyone else, I'd suggest that their delistees are the least likely to be any good, as they don't have the same "we'd really love to keep you, but..." problem. I'm usually not that interested in other club's discards at the best of times, even less so in this case.

This is the classic "draft him because he has a funny name" syndrome, as seen with Serhat Temel and Majak Daw in previous years. If Ah Chee was any good, GC at the very least would've given him a second year on the rookie list.

I'd be offering a very late pick for Charlie Dixon. He is not delisted, so it would cost us something, but a 4th round pick would be good if it worked.

What's the story there? I didn't pay any attention to them after a while, but I thought he really looked the goods early in the season.

Glad you brought up Serhat again- he would be our Full forward now..if I had my way.

That's ridiculous, you left out Casey Sibosado.

Was mentioned as a potential trade option for the right return. It could be a case of offering one of our "fringe players" plus a last round pick, and in return we get Dixon and a 3rd round pick, or something to that affect.

The GC have a lot of KPP/Rucks, they wont be able to keep them all, and Dixon will be 21 next year, with the hope of playing more footy (only played 8 games this year). Perhaps we could offer Spencer, who could be a ready-made replacement for Fraser, which will give them Smith and Spencer to share the rucks.

No thanks. They took a hell of a lot of kids, and like every draft some of them turn out to be duds. I see no need to take a punt on a kid who has already had a shot at AFL and failed. Let them play a few years in second tier competitions and show something special before we think about them again.

No, he'd been in the Casey 2s and we'd be moaning about how Fev's presence was hampering his development, along with Lucas Cook's.

Or he'd have already been delisted.

If we want players with names which are fun to say we should follow in the footsteps of GCS and GWS and raid the NRL for Fui Fui Moi Moi.(I have no idea if I spelt that name correctly). Or trade for Steele Sidebottom - voted in an online poll, I believe, as the funniest name in sport.

No way - get former Melbourne Storm forward Pale Ale.

Surely Freddie Clutterbuck of East Perth should be getting this push.

    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.
