BB doesn't the list just have to be done by list lodgement. In other words, couldn't a club secure 5 blokes in trades and then just delist 5 at list lodgement, or have I got that wrong?

We only have three uncontracted players left on the list.

I've been made aware that there's a high possibility two contracted players have been told they won't be on the list next year. Be payed out and moved on

Nasher..I think the point Red is making , and I agree, is that you can MAKE room...if you really want to

Yes you can make room but I think it's a dangerous philosophy in terms of player management. It's also very costly as you need to pay out the contract and then pay for the replacement player. In a club where finances are important you'd need to be sure the cost is worthwhile.

Unless we have targets we really want or earlier picks than we currently have it seems like an expensive exercise to me.

McKenzie? Terlich?

Terlich was re-signed for 2 years (sigh) a few months back, so he ain't going anywhere.

It would probably be McKenzie, although Roos seems to rate him as an effective tagger. Too bad his disposal is shithouse.

There may also be a player or two moved on in a deal..not saying thats a definite but it might be in amongst the 'plays' being considered..

If the cost IS worthwhile...These day sit may well done. The cut-throat nature of these dealing have gone up a notch . Its a by product of the FA I feel.

Makes sense if we have salary cap room why not move them on and draft in some kids with late picks or mature age VFL/WAFL/SANFL in their place. There are a few who just aren't going to make it

2015

Trengove, Jamar (UFA), Garland (RFA), McKenzie, Howe, N Jones (RFA), Evans, Gawn, Fitzpatrick, Viney, Toumpas, Pedersen, Salem, Kennedy-Harris, Hunt, Cross, Bail, Riley,

Above are those contracted for next year - delist and paying out people is fraught. So make a good decision if you go down this road.

If you want anyone more than ND2, ND3, ND23 and Frost - you will need to delist one or more the above.

Unless 3 & 23 are heading elsewhere...

With Frawley and Mitch gone, Trengove's front-ended contract tapering off and having to pay min % of sal cap we might as well use it to payout players!

Uggg! I can't believe I wrote that!

What a terrible position for us to have to do that.

I know this sounds cold and heartless but I'd have no hesitation in sacking Evans.

As I see it -

Out: James Frawley, Shannon Byrnes, Mitch Clark, Mitch Clisby, Daniel Nicholson = 5 list spots.

In: Pick 42 (Billy Stretch), Jeff Garlett (Pick 61), Heritier Lumumba + 2 list spots. We could still trade for Sam Frost

Uncontracted to be delisted if not traded: Sam Blease, James Strauss, Luke Tapscott = 5 list spots

To come in: Pick 2, Pick 3, Pick 23, , Neville Jetta upgrade, PSD (Sam Frost) = List complete.

    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

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los
