I think Tapscott Bail and blease are contracted to end of 2014.

Davey and rodan have retired guys not delisted... (as has Macdonald)

jetta gillies sellar and couch probably out

maybe davis too

If you get delist Gillies, Sellar and Davis that leaves you with Pederson as the only bigger bodied back up. You happy with that? I'm not.

Then draft someone from the state leagues, other clubs, or nat draft that has a future and can be a back-up.

There is no point in keeping them around if they can't contribute.

Of that trio only Davis shows any endeavour and urgency in his play and even then he looks a plodder. Can't say he has any elite skills to speak of, but if forced to chose oneto keep, then it would be him. But he needs to be upskilled. As far as Pederson goes I can't wait till his contract expires, he is either lazy or unfit. If you watch him closely he just jogs to contests.

Isn't that what we did with Gillies, Sellar and Pederson?

I'd consider keeping James Sellar. He's got lots of talent and reads the play well, but gets the absolute yips when his confidence drops, and it seldom doesn't. As a tall utility, he's got huge upside if his head can be fixed, and that's where I think our new coach (who is he again ... ?) seems to be a transformer of men.

Yes.

We have been crap for 7 years but posters still want to hold onto player X as depth.

Frawley, McDonald, Garland.

Pedersen VFL and we draft another KPP with a lower pick.

Do we know when the exit interviews will happen? I remember Neil Craig saying it was a Wednesday? Is it this Wednesday? I'm really interested to see who Roosy will cut and who he thinks he can improve.

Would of thought he would want a look at the young players before he cuts them. But then again Casey are done now so who knows when it will be.... when is the deadline day for delistements?

Strauss just hangs in !!!

I can only imagine that the clean out has still a way to go.

The ones that have been de listed are not an issue.

We still have players with some sort of currency.

When all options are exhausted we will then see more.

Cutting your losses and paying out a contract isn't an option?

That spot on the senior list is worth a lot more than the monetary value of prematurely axing said contract.

By contract you mean person.

'Thanks for everything Rohan, good luck with all the head trauma - we are cutting you a year out and wasting thousands of dollars on another payout.'

It also sends a bad message.

5 years on the list he's only ever played more than 9 games in a season once. And even when he's fully fit (as rare as that is), I don't think he's even best 22.

Sentiments aside this is a football club that should be doing everything possible to better the situation, hanging onto guys that can't/won't/don't perform on a continual basis is folly.

If we're interested in Yeo, or Docherty, we may be able to workout some sort of deal for one of these guys, & who knows, the Lions may have some interest in a hard runner?

I think Bail came from QLD

Docherty seems a better proposition than Yeo as he can go into the midfield. Happy to exchange for Bail!

yep, but I can't tell what his value would be to them?

also Spence from Redlands. again I don't know what they're needs are, or how they value these boys?

I don't really want us to move Spence, until seeing him play next year. he's just starting to come of age, so I'd like to see how it he goes.

    TRAINING: Monday 20th January 2025

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator attended training out at Casey Fields to bring you the following observations from Preseason Training. GATOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS There were 5 in the main rehab group, namely Gawn, Petracca, Fullarton, Woewodin and Lever.  Laurie was running laps by himself, as was Jefferson.  Chandler, as has been reported, had his arm in a sling.  Lindsay did a bit of lap running later on. Some of the ''rehab 5'' participated in non contact drills and b

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
