Traded/Sacked then thrived

Since Saturday most of us are over "all things footy" at least until next Saturday:) Life as a Melbourne Supporter.

Lots of fellow members have been calling for the scalps of practically the entire list plus the Coach.

IMO as a life long Demon that the Neeld appointment was the wrong choice but would sacking him help?

Given Neeld has entirely revamped the game plan and players are still in a period of adjustment would it be a mistake to CULL our youth as most seem to be advocating in a recent RR Topic. Wouldn't that mean the new Guys coming in will need another year to grasp the Neeld Way? The Devil you know argument?

OK...We have all sat back in our comfy seats in the Northern and said...ahhh why did we let him go? Yes?

In the last 25 years which Melbourne Players have been "let go" and thrived in another environment?

What players are Melbourne likely to trade or de-list that may thrive at another club?

    There's really less than 10 AFL players on the list at the moment and I doubt Neeld is letting them go anywhere but the gym.

    Compared to Buckley,Miller,Bruce or Mclean the ones that will go are second rate so I wouldnt worry about it too much.

    Players walking out might tell another story, but then Scully is hardly setting the world on fire either

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #32 Tom Sparrow

      The rugged Sparrow’s career appears to have plateaued in recent years. He makes the side on a week to week basis but he is unable to establish a foothold in the team’s midfield and arguably performs best outside of the contest in a forward position without being a goal kicker. He remains a good honest foot soldier but is not a star.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #33 Tom Fullarton

      Fullarton managed a couple of games in the first half of the season but soon found himself back in the VFL. There, he found a niche at centre half back but it was not enough to retain a place on the list at season’s end.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #35 Harrison Petty

      Entering 2025, it looked as if Petty would be secured in a defensive position, but plans shifted and he spent more time forward, averaging just over a goal per game throughout the season. It remains uncertain which area of the ground he will be expected to cover under the new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #36 Kysaiah Pickett

      The dynamic small forward, possessing an innate ability to generate excitement with his explosive play around the goals, successfully transitioned into a role that afforded him more time in the midfield. The club also negotiated a long-term deal with Pickett, thereby eliminating any prospect of a move west by their star young player.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #37 Kade Chandler

      For a few years now, he has been a reliable, hard working pressure forward, but in 2025, Chandler elevated his performance, becoming an integral component of the team with enough versatility to play effectively on a wing from time to time.
