I'm not surprised but am disappointed. Always like Nev as a player. I hope GWS give him a go.

Indeed, I thought it was inevitable that one of he or Nicholson would go.

He was a player I always wanted to make it, as he played with the right type of aggression and, as you said, heart. Didn't really have the tools in the end - no shame in that. Really nice bloke too apparently.

Thanks Nev.

Doubt it. His only hope to stay in the AFL would be as a Rookie for us.

He would be better off killing it in the VFL/WAFL for someone.

Looks like Nicho will survive then, hope he proves me wrong..... Liked Jetta, but couldn't get his body right or any consistency (which hasn't been easy for many @ MFC with all the regime changes), but nevertheless fair call. Wish him luck for the future though, hopefully he can get picked up elsewhere.


Fair call. But I liked him.

Give him a job as the tackling coach.

Neville the Concrete (Never got enough kicks) Aboriginal.

Had a go but couldnt cut it.

Good luck Nev
 

[censored].....now what do I do with the three jumpers with nr 39 on, sad but probably inevitable, just couldn't get a run at it, tried his guts out everytime he played for either the Dees or Casey, and yes he was a bloody nice bloke....got 40 games in, so wasn't the spud some on here think.......... wouldn't surprise if he headed home to the west.......best mate Jamie Bennell now back on the Eagles list, they may look at him as well....


Can someone clarify for me: We can re-draft him (or any of our delisted players) in either the national draft or rookie draft, can't we? I'm not saying we should, but just want to understand the "three live picks" in the draft rule.

Yep... he was a nice guy (well, on the rare occasions I got a word)... have a nice photo from last year with him and my son (who will be disappointed to hear the news). I have two jumpers I have purchased through site auctions, Warnock's Shanghai jumper and Jurrah's St Patricks Day jumper... Nev can't blame me for this one.

Three new players in the ND to the Primary List. It includes rookie elevations. We only have to use 9 and 40 as Clisby has been elevated. If we did that it would mean we would get another player in DFA or the PSD.

It's a shame, but while he was held up at times by injury, I think he came pretty close to realising his potential as an AFL player.

All the best in your future, Nev.

I would not be upset if we rookie him. Hard trier, dogged by injury and never got his confidence up in an inept team. Will do better in a more polished and focused outfit.

When does the time cut off to pick up delisted free agents?

You were always a fan. Thought him better than Bennell from day one.

I suppose two wrongs make you right.

Had to happen, never saw him show anything that would make me believe he would make it at the AFL level.

When does the time cut off to pick up delisted free agents?

Approximately 24 hours ago.

Tend to agree.

Sounds like he was a nice bloke but if you could not get a regular game in the worst side in the comp

Then you are probably not up to it.

That was a good trip to WA when we took both him and his mate.

My god we have been wonderful in the recruitment department.


I had a long chat to him 2 years ago at a family day at Casey. I had a soft spot for him after this and loved his physicality for a small bloke. Injuries cruelled him and we never got to see a fit and firing Nev. I hope he gets another go somewhere but I doubt it.

Approximately 24 hours ago.

No. The 2nd DFA commences tomorrow and closes Monday. The 3rd DFA opens again Friday week and closes the following Monday.

Well, I did say approximately!

Approximately 24 hours ago.

The delisted free agent period opens 3 different times.

It will be open again once more after the draft, November 22nd - 25th.

  • 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.

Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • PREGAME: West Coast

    The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • 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.
