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.

I think Jetta will remain and a remote possibility Sellar will be kept as depth.

Though I think Jetta's position in the team is in jeopardy, he seems to have been winning more of the ball recently (particularly in Casey) and we saw how good he could be in a couple of situations on

Stick Mckenzie on the list people. Useless & VFL at best.

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.

By contract I mean player.

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?

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

I think Bail came from QLD

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.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    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
