Really disappointing year I thought. He's got pace and has shown ball winning ability before, just didn't fire a shot this year. He's meant to be a hard working outsider; Ro Bail showed that you don't need heaps of skill to play this role in our side at present.

Last roll of the dice in 2015. I don't think he'll be delisted while contracted but it may at least be considered.

    Utter waste of space and really not sure why he was given a new contract last year. Next year would be his fifth year in the system - not sure why he'd suddenly turn it around. I'd rather pay him out and have an additional draftee / rookie / DFA.

    I thought he was unfortunate. He can play and I hope we don't break his contract

    Doesn't look close to being an afl standard player. Sadly one of many on our list, and one of several to be fortunate to have contracts next season to prove doubters like me wrong.

    Trade for Tutt. Both players have little value so it may be possible. Throw in a late pick if required.

    He's not up to it delist him. I can't believe he has a contract.

    Yep.....Just like Dunn, Pederson ect.....Players can improve....He has a year to prove himself....

    Has been in the sick bay for so long but he has pace and a reasonable kick .Can see him doing ok at the feet of a tall.

    Same boat as Nicho for me, except Nicho didn't have a contract. Will probably remain on the list until the end of his contract, doubt he will add to his games tally in 2015.

    I had a good vibe about him at the end of last year. His back issues were sorted, he got on the park and played a little bit of decent footy, I thought he could come on strong.

    D'oh!

    He's got another year. Can you remember the last time anybody got paid out for a year?

    Shame. He was another in the long line of 50/50s that went the wrong way when the time came to really step it up development wise.

    I felt a bit the same. It's not as though he doesn't have ability. But for whatever reason it seems he sets a new world record for Out on the Full whenever he plays in the seniors

    I thought 2014 was going to be his year under ROOS.

    How wrong I was.

    If we can get a suitable trade, do it.

  • Quote

    i had faith, however his 2014 has been a real shame and i wouldn't be surprised if his contract was broken.
    he has some good attributes, but if he can't put it together on game day then thats too bad.

    Trade? No-one is going to give up a draft pick or player for a kid they could probably get with the last pick in the rookie draft.

  • Quote

    There will players that automatically get delisted and or traded

    There will be those in the ?-basket. Some will be left on the list for the time being as they may add to a trade etc or someone might surprisingly have some interest etc etc.

    For these players it will all depend how the rest of the trading and drafting goes ( or expected to go ) .

    They''ll be retained til they dont need to be. I suspect Evans is one such player. I wouldnt go getting any big mortgages just atm if I were he !!

    Some of his late season Casey reviews by Miller were epic bad!!

    I'd rather have Nicholson on the list than Evans, and I don't rate Nicho in the slightest.

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
