How many delistings will we have? Is it too early to speculate?

10-15...same as last year....Gotta keep turning this list over until it believes and works hard

Match Day Hard.

Take away Rodan, Byrnes, Gillies and Pedersen and the number of changes is a lot less last year. I think that will be reflected this year.

We only have to look at results to see that this list does need multiple changes. But putting VFL level footballers with no scope on your list is a complete waste as well - See Magner, Sellar and Couch.

For every player you delist you have to factor in who will be available to replace them. If Free Agency was stacked with talent heading for Melbourne and the draft was deep then I'd be all for big numbers.

Hogan, Draft picks round 1-4, (+/- Priority Pick), PSD, Free Agent is 8 primary list changes. And I'm not convinced yet by Clisby that he warrant immediate rookie promotion.

So I'd say 7-8 delistings from the primary list would max it out with potential for a couple of trades.

2 out of 3 if not 3/3 on Gillies, Sellar, Davis

Rodan or Davey if not both

Tynan

Jetta

Macdonald

Nicholson

Leading trade candidates remain Strauss, Tapscott, Blease and Watts.

Isn't Pedometer on a 3 year deal? Who'd match that or accept our crappy list management and take that contract on board? I'd also like to get rid of Byrnes, but he has another year to go as well.

Davey maybe 1 more year on very little money.

The others mentioned so far... meh.

Why on earth tade Watts after he has announced that he wishes to stay? Not only does it not send a positive message to the rest of the playing group but it confirms to the AFL that we have little regard for No. 1 Draft picks and consequently would most likely waste any PP that they were contemplating!

I would have thought you could add Spencer and Fitzpatrick to the trade bait pile - although I assume no more than one of Jamar, Spencer and Fitzy will leave. I'm not against keeping Spencer and Fitzpatrick - it's just that we know a number of teams need ruckmen and we need a midfield. There may be mutually beneficial outcomes available.

Alf - this thread is over in the Draft Board.

Change your 'Favourites' Demonland link to this (http://demonland.com/forums/index.php?/forum/1-demonland/) and you will be able to navigate between the two Boards better.

And for those using Windows 95: you can play early Red Alert and I envy that.

splitting hairs there rpfc on window vs tab

a single instance of an app can have multiple windows (some call them tabs if the app is a browser)

of course multiple instances of an app also results in multiple windows

of course too, you can't view two tabs in the same browser instance at the same time, as you could with multiple instances

YMMV

I fail to see how we can trade Pederson , the guys got 2 yrs to go after this season, no club will take him for 2 seasons, most teams wouldn't even waste a rookie pick on him, Mark Neeld made some very disappointing and bizarre decisions.

I agree. A total waste of a spot, of money and this years entry to the "most bizarre and/or dhead things to do award "

I dont blame him, I blame us ( MFC)

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
