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.

    Yeah, I said those with a future. Sorry to be blunt.

    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?

    Bail is contracted.

    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.

    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.

    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?

    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.

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
