Well one of the better things to come out of FA is this:

If you are delisted by your club and another club shows interest - you can immediately sign there. No compensation is involved so it doesn't go against the players lost through the other FA or what I will call Veteran FA.

The latest to be thrown up:

Brisbane: Stiller and Sheldon.

Any love? Stiller might be an option across half back.

    Clubs that delist players before the trade period mustn't rate the players in question.

    At best they are options if we can't get anyone better during the trade period.

    I'd prefer a draft pick on young talent TBH.

    Please no rejects from other clubs.

    Are you serious?

    I think this is an ignorant comment.

    Players that have been delisted off the top of my head: Jason Porplyzia, Brett Kirk.

    There'll be many others, but they were the first that came to mind.

    Stiller would fit right in amongst our small nugget-like midfielders.

    He's tough as nails too, but he's ANOTHER player whose level of skill by foot is just not up to AFL standard.

    Jeez, here are some players that we might actually get and marginally improve the team if they fit the bill.

    If there are a couple of pros with excellent work ethic that have been delisted - I don't think Neeld is going to give a f___.

    And no-one has a gun to your head to read this thread - you can start as many threads about us getting Hawkins as you want.

    Stiller would be automatically be in the top dozen players on the MFC list - such is the deplorable state it's in.

    [censored].

    I bet you would be one who would've said Joel MacDonald would be top 12 at MFC 3 years ago too.

    Sick of MFC supporters who think just because player X is less [censored] then player y, let's say Bate for instance, we should recruit player x.

    Stiller is shuffling deck chairs.

    We are only looking for role players here jacey.

    And while I disagree that a 'Stiller-type' would be the 12th player on the list I have zero problem with the idea of replacing skinny kids who don't work hard enough with seasoned pros that will contribute to the professionalism of the club and not detract from it.

    I would say, considering the large role that a 24 year old 'deck chair' in Magner played this season - we will look again to older players ready to contribute.

    Two things:

    2. How the hell can 'christ in a bike' be a saying?

    Small nugget-like? 187cm, 84kg and will 26 in 2013

    He might be taller than Magner, Jones, the departing Moloney, Couch et al but his basic game style is the same - see ball, get ball.

    He'd serve a purpose on our list - tough, no nonsense attack on the footy but he doesn't add anything spectacular.

    no, a troll.

    He has never heard that the AFL has a team called the Sydney Swans.

    He has never heard of players like GARY ABLETT, SAM MITCHELL, PODSIADLEY etc etc.

    i can't do this any more.

    Christ ON a bike, peddler pedant.

    Farcical speculation - unless you have a direct ear to the footy department - that we should pick up either of those two semi-scrubbers, Sheldon or Stiller.

    'Farcical speculation'?

    This is a thread on the numerous delistees from other clubs that are available through Delisted FA - which starts on Nov 1. It isn't speculation - it is happening and we will have a look. And it may be farcical to you, but that doesn't mean that it is farcical.

    As I said to Olisik - you don't have to contribute to farce if you don't want to...

    FA has a completely new meaning. My initial reading of the title of this thread was that we have delisted sweet FA. And I was thinking, 'patience, it will happen'.

    Farce is fun.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
