Paul Roos says senior players will be scrutinised in Melbourne's remaining games http://t.co/SUkwjtKGZx

..I think as many as 10 could be moved on...and not All the Jacks

Funny...I can't seem to find the bit where Roos says as many as 10 will be moved on.

struggling to see that number quoted myself

Thanks rjay .... fixed Incoming 4, 5 drafts and 3-5 trades ?

Ten list changes Inc Clark and frawley is a good chance imo

To paraphrase: the article was posted at TEN.55, and games against Melbourne "of-TEN resembled a training drill."

This comment was brought to you by Miss Quote, and the number TEN.

There aren't that many senior players. I wonder if Grimes may be under the microscope.

I'd suggest they will look at most, but I think Roosy will want to be very active in trade week, he knows it's vital this feels like a totally different side in 2015

I reckon Howe is one they could consider putting on the table, would anyone on here do a trade of Howe for Tom Mitchell?

I think he might be , but not singles out as such just I imagine Roos wants the 'elders' to take it up to the enemy a bit more.

It's not that we lose but how we lose ( thats if we lose lol )

It's interesting how Roos is ramping up the pressure. The warm and cuddly start to the season seems to be over. I think he has now got his head around the list and the cuts may go deep.

And about time too, we have Grimes, our captain consistently making basic skill and judgement errors that cost the team, Garland hasn't really got going yet, i'm not sure of Howes position in the team

Agree except for Howe. Think he has developed his game a lot this year and is no longer a 1 trick pony. Expect he will eventually go forward again with a more defensive mindset.

Grimes and Garland have been very disappointing.

Tough year to be out of contract.

Big Mitch is gone, Frawley will look to cash in elsewhere and I am sure the axe won't miss many uncontracted players. At this stage of the season anyone out of contract that hasn't put pen to paper probably wont be coming back.

I can see the Demons being active again during trade season. A player who is not in Roos' plans will be offered at the trade table if under contract, so he can move forward with this list.

I get the impression Roos patience is wearing rather thin with parts of our list.

Bail and Grimes...just 2 players not cutting it !!!!!

Grimes game is riddled with schoolboy errors

And is not a leader, i don't care what anyone says

Why is he still captan?

Leading with a poor example sets poor standards

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
