Do the maths. There aren't any spots on the list - amazingly.

Which list, our list? Blease, Strauss about to be punted. Trade out other players.

Yes there is.

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

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.

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.

NAB Trade Radio explains the day's trading to date as follows:-

• Dayne Beams traded from Collingwood to Brisbane. The Pies send Beams & pick 67 to Brisbane in exchange for picks 5, 25 and midfielder Jack Crisp.

• North Melbourne trade Levi Greenwood to Collingwood in exchange for pick 25.

• Heritier Lumumba traded to Melbourne.

• Mitch Clark traded to Geelong.

• Travis Varcoe traded to Collingwood.

• St Kilda trade Rhys Stanley and pick 60 to Geelong in exchange for pick 21.

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.

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
