Let's cut to the chase... Who is gone!

Plenty of topics for dicussing this on the

"It's the midfield, stupid" Drafting and Trading Board"
 

Anyone under 50 games deserves a chance to establish themselves. Anyone else should be bait traded delisted


Watts and Dawes.....pleeeese!

 

I don't think it's just a matter of who is gone, it's a matter of who holds some value with trades and makes us a better team after the trade period.

The first to go, and I hate saying this as this board unfairly scrutinises him, is Watts. He has value with top 8 teams and hopefully we can raid a good consistent player. Watts just can't perform consistently. Goldsack for Watts is a possibility

Frawley is someone we should force to leave. Why? Because a first round pick is on offer we can trade that pick out for a Mitchell plus Reid type trade. I think the club is ripe to force the hand of Sydney with the Buddy/Tippett/etc/etc deals. Roos and his influence and history at Sydney will help with this type of trade.

Malceski is another I hope we trade for (3 or 4th rounder). This type of trade is a sweetener for the club arising from the Pick 3 trade.

Others with some value are Garland and Grimes. Grimes maybe our captain, but his skills stand out in a team like the MFC.

Jack Fitz is another who may get us another fringe player at another club. The Bullies may trade with us here.

If the club can get Reid, Mitchell, Goldsack and Malceski, we are a better team.


Who'd want any of these pathetic PR!CKS???

Just on my last post. A Backline consisting of

Jetta McDonald, Dunn

Malceski, Reid, Cross/Howe

Provides a good level of skills, experience, height and age spread.

running through our list, i'll just name the players we need to keep. The rest are expendable or, more likely a lost cause. Will be easier that way.

Hogan, N Jones, Salem, Viney, Tyson, Kent, Cross, Pedersen, Vince, JKH, Gawn, Jetta. That's 12 out of a total of 44 including rookies.

I have just under 3/4 of our list as couldn't care if they were delisted, traded, retired. WHat's more, we have been re-building since 2007, or 8 years, yet we have more problems in our list now, than we did back then.

FFS, it's a lost cause

I'll tell you who doesn't go: Nathan Jones

I care not for anyone else at this moment.

Just another point. The club MUST pay 100% of the salary cap and get players into the club. It's just not good enough PJ saying the club can't afford it. Time the AFL gets involved.

does equalisation start next year?

Jones, Tyson, Vince and Cross have been solid.

Thought Viney was decent across the backline at times today.

But a lot of players staring down the barrell.

Some tough decisions to make for Roosy, some players who haven't been on our list long - probably do need to go.

Is the Russian really up to it?

I WOULD PREFER FITZY or anyone who can get a touch.

Sorry Mark, but you cannot jump.

Yeah, nah..

where are the leaders in that 12 ?

Ryan O'Keefe would currently be a better player than most of them. and leader.

leadership is key, & its gold. we need it in buckets at the moment.

Gawn was far better today.

I was going to take the same approach but could only come up with Jones, Tyson, Viney and Jetta - who I would classify as not expendable - Gawn would be close. The rest well we can't get rid of all of them, so the inexperienced would maybe get some reprieve, though the irony is not lost that conversely we need to keep experience; but I would canvas offers for any of the rest Now I have been a Watt's fan and apologist; but he is an example of someone I would be shopping, and based on today Dawes, and Frawley were equally passionless.

 

Good thread...action action action....call to arms.

Most of our cattle are not worthy of an AFL game. There is insufficient talent to piece a team together at the MFC.

How the hell does Peter Jackson sell hope now? Please explain this to me.

Football has become such a sad case at this club....there are many very sad sad supporter stories out there. Memberships will dry up, sponsorships will dry up.

Today's lack of desire and effort and skills is totally beyond my thinking process. I have absolutely no idea how the club dumps so many players and replaces them by 2015

Rooseys 2005 game plan.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
