Does this mean that my man Neville Jetta has been given another go around? And what about James Magner?

    I have a good feeling about Jetta under Roos. Glad we've kept him.

    Theyll be looking to a few more names but that will depend on drafting and trading.

    Not finished yet.

    The only one that gives me a slight pause for thought on that list is Tynan.

  • Quote

    Thats 7 off the list plus one rookie. I wouldnt expect too many more. Jetta/Tapscott possibilities off the main list and Magner/Clisby off the rookie list maybe?

  • Quote

    Tynan maybe could've deserved another year to prove himself, but if he can't find enough of the footy and make an impact at VFL level, he's well behind the 8 ball.

    Jetta is a keep, IMHO.

    With the 3 retirements we've now got rid of 8 players.

    Expect a few more changes.

    Can we still delist Nicho? (won't be able to trade him)

    Magner must be pretty [censored]!

    Jetta - good choice

    Are they all Neeld appointments?

    Now trade Byrnes Pederson for pick 88?

    magner and clisby will come off the rookie list and hogan will take a spot too

  • Quote

    Excuse my ignorance if wrong...but doesn't that mean Magner has to be upgraded off the rookie list as he's been on it for 2 yrs already?

  • Quote

    7 main list spots (down to 6 once you add Hogan) and 1 rookie spot freed up.

    You'd think there's still more room to move but it's best to wait on the free agency and trade periods before final cuts. I wouldn't be getting ahead of myself if I was Jetta, Nicholson or Magner just yet. Or even if I was one of the contracted but not overly well performed types - Strauss, Bail, Tapscott, Blease.

    Tynan and Davis appeared hard workers and were enthusiastic players at Casey. But just seemed a long way off in terms of talent and athleticism.

    I thank them all for their contribution. Besides maybe Gillies, he was a crock.

  • Quote

    Magner, Nicho & Jetta may still be cut. Will probably be given a chance over the Pre season with possibility of still being delisted.

    Possibly. I thought there was some way of having 3rd year rookies, but I'm not sure if Magner would even be interested. He could earn more money working and playing state league footy and get a shot at another club.

    I expect he'll be delisted or promoted. Roos would be a fan of his game style in some ways and would probably be keen to try him if he can't secure some contested ball mids from other clubs.

    I think the desists so far are right although some will get tetchy over some misplaced injustice.

    I don't think Nicho or Jetta are out of the woods yet. Magner is a rookie and his departure does affect list numbers. I'd cut Magner. And I am not fuss on Nicho or Jetta.

    Curious how you think underperforming still contracted players will be nervous? I can't see the club paying out contracts and I don't see any trade value in any of them. On their progress to date they old be favourites for the chop at the end of 2014.

    Me too. He is young and still developing. I would have kept him another year.

    There are plenty I would let go before him.

  • Quote

    Thought Tynan may have picked up a 1 year deal to prove himself under Roos and that one of Sellar or Davis (probably Sellar) would have been kept for depth.

    Magner, Jetta & Nicho lucky IMO and even Taggert isn't out of the woods yet. Those 4 and Stark are probably the only other players that may come under scrutiny over the next few weeks.

    But I'd certainly delist Magner and pick up Cross instead.

    .

    If your reason to re contract a player is for "depth" then you don't have justifiable reason to re contract them and let them go.
  • Quote

    No-brainer decisions really. Sellar was useful depth down back but hopeless anywhere else, Gillies was probably the worst player we've recruited since Isaac Weetra, Davis and Tynan didn't do enough in their time here. Couch was an in-betweener (too good for VFL, not good enough for AFL)

    I'm sure they all gave it their all but there are no surprises there at all.

    I can see a player in Neville Jetta, while I think Roos could rate Magner more than our last coach. Nicholson would have to be on shaky ground.

    Get this through your head, Roos and other coaches of a similar ilk such as Lyon love players who run and have discipline to do abasic job which fits into the structure.

    One thing Nicho has is a tank which is to his advantage, players who can perform roles whilst getting occassional runs through the midfield as run with or just to give other mids a breather are a strong chance to at least be looked at or held over until after the trade period.

    Tom Couch would go down as the most pointless rookie pick in MFC history.

    Well there is certainly some logic in keeping youngish (even Sellar is only 24) players as depth in the hope they develop and also that they make improvement. You can't just have a best 22 and kids, that wont work. But Sellar was brought across and in 2 years he hasn't and Davis didn't look up to it. Of course than main reason we didn't need to keep them for depth is that behind Frawley, Garland and McDonald as starting tall defenders we have the wonderful if undersized Dunn as well as good old Pedersen. Plenty of depth for mine.

    The fact tynan had too many games where he was almost unnoticeable at casey cost him.

    It could speak of the confidence the club had on signing Sylvia.

    Clisby will spend another year as rookie.

    6 spots to fill, could depend on our trade period aswell. Nicho and jetta seem like players roos could use

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
