Delisted FA

Recommended Posts

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.

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.

Christ in a bike, this forum throws up some farcical speculation.

Two things:

1. What 'farcical speculation'? I see none.

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

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.

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.

He is a troll.

A troll.

Or cognitively compromised.

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.

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
