Are we going to let anyone go who actually played seniors this year?

Getting rid of some guys in the twos is great, but I don't believe they are fully responsible for this shemozzle, any thoughts?

The players we recruit will probably replace the duds in the ones, who will next year be in the twos before the cycle repeats itself.

Over the next three years we need to replace the whole listed team with actual AFL standard players. It'll take time...

Will you three stop talking so much [censored] sense!

Its the dead wood in the ones I want gone.

So you suggest we get rid of the 7-10 who can't even get a game and then what 5 or so more in the senior side who aren't up to it. Nice in theory but there aren't 15 decent players to replace them with. I'd rather start with the truly dead wood and work our way up.

That said I'm all for trading out some of those underperformers in the senior team if they have value because it means you can find a decent replacement for them.

They could join Jordan Gysberts and Lucas cook in the weak and useless team.

Very harsh. Totally unnecessary.

Thanks to both for donning the red and blue. Although both would have seen the end looming, it would still be a tough pill to swallow. I reckon Clisby in particular would be doing it hard. This time last year he would have thought he had an AFL career ahead of him, now it's all over just as quickly as it started. Tough business, the AFL.

Spot on Frosty. These blokes were fringe players at best. The Jack Watts, James Frawleys, Jack Grimes' and Mark Jamars' of this world have been near automatic selections for nigh on 4 years now. Who is holding them accountable?

Must be an awful feeling being shown the door after our struggles, worked hard but a lack of overall skills, best of luck out of the red & blue guys.

I thought nicho could have made an ok tagger..

Wpuld have delisted a few before these guys but paul roos knows best.

Generally I'm not one to write "thank you" notes for departing delisted players (well I haven't been too fond of it over the past few years anyway) although this time is different.

So thank you fellas for your hard work and dedication, I always admired how how Nicholson attacked the pre-season - particularly in his running. As for Clisby he seemed to have had his head screwed on well and also trained his guts out to initially earn his spot. It's a shame it didn't work out and that neither ever got to that AFL standard. All the best and I wish you both well for your future endeavors.

I'm disappointed for Clisby - I thought he was a decent player, and at least worthy of a run in the seniors at some stage this year. Nicholson had plenty of chances and wasn't quite up to it. Having said that, he is still well behind Tapscott, Strauss and Evans as the first players I would delist.

Jamar will continue until he either chooses to retire or we get a ruckman who outperforms him consistently and is capable of staying on the park.

cool we can watch clisby go to another club and thrive.. astounded he wasn't given a go off half back this year instead of bloody Terlich.. Maybe his VFL form wasn't great but at least give him a shot at AFL.. he was so clean with ball last year when played...

A lot of dee posters don't seem to agree with me on terlich.

But he has a gift not many on our list has.

He gets his hands on the aggot,continually.

I find the timing of the decision more interesting than the decision itself. It would seem to me to make for a better B&F night if the squad remained intact until then. Do Nicho and Clisby go along? Can't blame them if they don't want to yet I feel they should be there.

It's possible they asked to be told as soon as possible to allow them to get on with their lives, I guess.

Anyway, I wish them well and thank them for their service. It's not their fault if they aren't quite good enough to stay on the list.

He can't kick & if you can't kick a footy well then you are a liability. We have too many players that are crap kicks - Mckenzie etc. We will never be any good until we purge ourselves of players who can't kick, it's football after all can't understand y u would recruit players who can't kick.

    TRAINING: Monday 20th January 2025

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator attended training out at Casey Fields to bring you the following observations from Preseason Training. GATOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS There were 5 in the main rehab group, namely Gawn, Petracca, Fullarton, Woewodin and Lever.  Laurie was running laps by himself, as was Jefferson.  Chandler, as has been reported, had his arm in a sling.  Lindsay did a bit of lap running later on. Some of the ''rehab 5'' participated in non contact drills and b

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
