End of year delistings

GWS may have a need for a powerful body? for 2 yrs?

They already traded for a muscled up spud this year in Josh Hunt.

 

Schneider and Dempster?

A quick look at this trade via google, the Swans got pick #26, a 2nd Rounder from St Kilda for these two. Turned into Brett Meredith who returned

an underwhelming 16 games and ten goals in 5 years of footy..

GWS would want to pull their finger out and start showing a shred of competitiveness, because they won't be able to lure anyone up there to the badlands. Similarly, players will be refusing to re-sign and begging for trades back home.

Right now they seem totally happy scooping up the top draft picks every year (could they be wooden spooners yet again??), but Melbourne fans know better than anyone that top draft picks aren't worth a pinch of goat [censored] without leadership and culture to teach them the game.

 

Definitely a 2 year deal

I don't have any evidence to back it up, so I'll have to concede, but I could have sworn we offered him a third. Ah well. I stand corrected in that case.

A powerful body needs to get the ball though. Unfortunately, as it stands, Luke struggles in this area.

These sorts of posts make me feel so old. I've seen this post 1000 times before. Different names but same content: every year some fresh faced poster wants to put the 38th-44th players on our list on the trade table.

The other clubs do not want our garbage any more than we want theirs. Nobody is going to trade anything worthwhile for Tapscott or Blease. Unless they have a miraculous change of form, their AFL careers are drawing to a close.

I'd normally scoff at these types of posts too, but these days I'm not so sure. When blokes like Chris Johnson were picked up by Carlton and as 'Lamashtu' rightly points out, Shaun Hampson, any of our strugglers could get a game elsewhere. Particularly, in a competition that is spread quite thin for quality, due to the advent of GCS and GWS.

Or we might end up doing a pick 70-odd for Rhyce Shaw type deal, when he went to the swans.

In the scenario we might find a player has a willing taker but as far as we're concerned it might as well just be a delisting consider the return we'd get.

Obviously now with delisted FA these deals are more rare.

The only reasoning for it to happen is if a player is somehow still under contract but the club has lost all patience with them.

Yes they may be able to do something with Tappy, to try to get him back to the footy he was showing 3 years back. He's in his fifth season. he wasn't half bad in 2011.

# Josh hunt was over 2 seasons ago. the Cats carried him.

Watched any footy the last two weeks?


  • 1 month later...

There needs to be a serious clean out at years end..

Mckenzie- gone

Blease- gone

Strauss- gone

Nicholson- gone

Evans - gone

I wouldn't be surprised if these guys aren't gone too : Terlich, Tapscott, Fitzpatrick, Bail(although he has played every game this yr)

How in the hell Jordie McKenzie gets a game at AFL level has me stumped !

He maybe able to contain opposition players but his skills are appalling, he would have to be the slowest player in the AFL.

He would not get a game at any other team in the comp and either would:

Bail

Blease

Nicholson

Evans

Strauss

Spencer (how did he get a new contract???)

Fitzpatrick

Clisby

Georgiou

Toumpas, Watts, Grimes, Jamar & Dawes traid bait.

Terlich & Matt Jones hang on just.

Time to be ruthless & turn this place around.

Trade bate? These players have just been signed or are mid contract..

Theres ruthless and theres stupid.. Ruthless letting Frawley go.. Stupid, delisting James McDonald..

Those players listed as trade bait, we would be stupid to trade..

You've got to give up something to get something back.

Perhaps a name change is in order you don't appear to think Grimes is that great anymore?

Maybe referring to Dylan Grimes, red and blue.

Retire - Clark, Byrnes

Free agent - Frawley

Delist - Evans, Nicholson, Fitzpatrick, Terlich

Trade - Strauss, Tapscott

On the fringe: Blease, Barry, Bail

Edited by spirit of norm smith

Agree with others it will be ruthless, Roos has had a good look this year and his comments of late are hinting towards as many delistings/list changes as last season at least. I'm not up an ll current contract situations so if someone is still in contract and on that list well I apologise in advance

Blease

Evans

Terlich

Byrnes - Retired

Clark Retired

Clisby

Nicholson

Fitzpatrick

Strauss

Mckenzie

That's 10, without Frawley who will more than likely make it 11. Some on the list may be unlucky but it's a cut throat business and that is footy, on top of those 10 we are going to have to face facts others who we may be loath to lose may have to be traded. Interesting period ahead

Clark, Byrnes, Frawley, Tapscott, Strauss, Blease, Terlich, and Nicholson gives 8 vacancies.

That's enough.

Jetta, ND 3, 4, 21, Stretch, 60, 79, and a DFA will see us mine as much talent as we can get.

Any more vacancies and we will be getting in some very speculative talent.

Hopefully, 60 and the DFA can get us Malceski and either a Riley type or an O'Keefe type.

And trade the 4 and the 21 for some established players I hope.

This October is again, a very important month for the club.

Grimes Is Bait would seem the logical choice.

Grimes is heart and soul MFC.

You don't trade players like him without negative consequences.

Surely people have learnt from the Junior debacle by now.

Perfect assessment rpfc - could not agree more.

Grimes the turnover king, that well be my new name....

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
