THE CONTRACTS THREAD [with updates]


rpfc

Recommended Posts

Jetta has not really set the world on fire, he would have to be being considered to be dropped. and macdonald while serviceable could be redundant with Gillies arriving. I would think how they conduct themselves at training in the next week or so will have a big bearing on their future.

I think Jetta will remain on list as he is exactly what Neeld likes, a player who is ferocious and has a go. I really like the attributes MN is looking for in players, HE WILL MAKE US COMPETITIVE eventually.

Surely Davis is a dead man walking.

That would give us 4 vacancies on the list, which, if I'm right rpfc, will be the end of it? As in, we'll re-sign Bartram and Jetta because we can, and we'll take four free spots into the drafting period?

That would enable ND4, ND49, ND53, and ND70 to be taken.

I guess the question to ask is: would Pick 70 be a better bet than Davis?

or would you scrap p70 and take someone in the PSD ? Just putting it out there. Then a possible recycled player is the competition for Davis.

Neeld is probably tipping the scales towards here and now, that wouldnt favour Davis id suggest

All I have seen of Davis was in the NAB Cup last year, but to me he looked like a good prospect. As has been mentioned, with the addition of Gillies and Pedersen, and the re-signing of Dunn and Sellar, we have an abundance of talls in the backline now. I can't see Davis getting a game in our team.

So, I think it's likely that Davis will be de-listed and we use either pick 70 or a pick in the PSD on somebody that fits the bill of what we need (midfielders or small forwards).

This is really interesting - assuming Davis goes, and Dunn, Sellar and MacDonald got 1 year, you'd have to think all 3 are on the block next year.

Who else goes, apart from Davey? I can't see us wanting to get rid of any of the others, unless Rodan is a complete bust.

On current numbers, you'd also have to think one of Jetta and Barty are in trouble this year.

Oh well, maybe we won't have any draft picks anyway, so it won't matter...

**On assumption Hogan is not one of the 40 for 2013.

***If in top 25% of earners at club.

Updated.

Jetta and Davis yet to be re-signed.

12 off the PL so far and with the VL being abolished we will have 13 new players on the PL in 2013.

That is 1/3 of the list.

Would have to be unprecendented.

That is a hell of a lot of turn over.

Add in Sheehan, Williams and Lawrence. 15 players!!!

And still with a possible one or even two more - Davis and Jetta.

It's little wonder then that there's has been an ex-player revolt of sorts, with a few sulky rats trying to destabilize the club from the shadows.

Purging a third of the list - including a few sacred cows - was always bound to ruffle a few feathers.

Had to be done.

Finishing effectively last with one real win suggests at least a third of the list were not good enough.

But you are correct 1/3 is a large number of changes.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.
