I've got it at 5 plus Clark which is 6. Barry is the one up in the air but he's got pace, endurance and is following the coaches instructions at Casey. Even if he's not getting a kick I think he finds another year. McKenzie, Fitzy and Evans are 3 who are contracted but could be traded out but I doubt there's much interest and all 3 have shown something at AFL level so you never know if a second preseason under Roos could turn them around. In fact they could all play big roles in the rest of this year.

So you're thinking Blease, Tapscott, Byrnes, Nicholson and Strauss, plus Clark, GRRM/tm? ;) I can see them persevering with Strauss and Blease, but I don't hold out much hope for them.

Best thing we can do to get the guys we want to re-sign is to win games, lots of games. A spirited victory on Monday would help massively.

theres for mine a distinct irony about all of this.

Essentially the people we would look to re sign will be responsible for the performance of the team that is to supposedly inspire them to re sign !!

Dunn will repay the faith I think, and it's vital we keep one of chip or Tommy mac, I am absolutely certain both are attracting strong interest

Fascinating to see who goes here. Tapscott, Byrnes and Nicholson will be first out the door. Strauss, Blease and Barry will be next in line. I'd say we'll delist 6. I think Frawley will stay, so it'll be interesting to see whether they keep Spencer and they'll upgrade Georgiou and Jetta.

I reckon I can see 4 that will be on the chopping block for 2015, but a long way to go there.

I think we'll re-sign everyone for next year.

I think its 12 months too soon to do anything Re the rucks. Jamar is OOC next year, & is (31) this August. Next in line maturity wise is Spencer, currently(24.7) followed by Gawn (22.5), both inexperienced by AFL ruck standards. Then we have a rookie in Max King, unplayed yet & (18.8). And we have Fitzpatrick [forward] developing, (22.11)

However with Clark gone, we could rookie another.

Re the mids, I would look to rookie 2 of Strauss & Barry, & possibly Tapscott? Georgiou could stay as a rookie? Jetta 1 Yr?

#edit: dunn, a deal for the much improved outback Dunny. for 3

Blease, Strauss and Tapscott traded for late picks if possible

Evans and Barry probably re-rookied for mine.

I'm pretty sure Evans has at least another year to run on his three year contract.

And I tend to agree that we probably won't make a move on rucks this season, so Spencer will be safe and IMO is worth pursuing anyway.

Geeze, we got some bloody signing to do in the next few years!

Lucky we are playing better.

It's not really surprising. The average contract length is probably around three years - exceptional players may get more and those close to the end of their careers due to age or performance are likely to get less. With a list of 48, that's 16 each year, on average, coming out of contract.

Jones will sign. Heart & Soul

i have to agree here... Jones doesn't seem the type of person, who would hold his club to ransom...

If he did leave, he'd be the first captain to leave their club for free agent money... Im not sure Jones would want to be remembered that way...

Personally i think Trengove will be harder to keep... After the way our club has handled his career so far, I wouldn't blame him if he choose to go back home...

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    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
