Geelong Delist Five Players

"Geelong has announced that Nick Bourke, George Burbury, Jordan Schroder, Jackson Sheringham and Jesse Stringer will not be offered contracts for next season."

I would definitely be giving Schroder a ring, perhaps Burbury also. Strange, as I thought these two would have had at least some trade value.

yeh, schroder and burbs looked a lot more promising than our to be delisted players.

We got Bizzell for Grgic.

Ha HA.

Burbury looked ok a couple of years ago. What happened?

Maxwell's knee knocked him into oblivion.

I posted this in another thread being thoughts passed on from an astute Cats supporter mate:


Jesse Stringer - Inside midfielder. Ok pace, question marks on engine size. Has had off field issues.


George Burbury - Good mid sized forward. Nice kick, attacks the ball hard. Would be surprised if the Cats let him go.

Schroder - Inside midfielder, good size. Won Liston Medal so can play. Didn't think he was on the chopping block either and says they are mad if they let him go.

Jackson Sheringham - Another mid that is outside Cats best 22 and really dropped back a few pegs as some of the younger blokes went past him. Goes alright without being a superstar.


Understandably some of the Cats off-cuts are likely to be enticing, Burbury and Shroder in particular...


PS: I think I might have to change one of my favourite players as he is off to Hawthorn, apparently. Reckon I might add Dom T, the cheese and kisses reckons he's ok too and Bernie, great name and fun bloke !

Fashion changes rapidly WJ.

I find it hard to keep in touch myself.

Thanks for the feedback Ginge!

I could happily see Schroder in our side ahead of a few. What's his pace like?

I saw one or two of Sheringham's games late in the season and would steer well clear.

Looked like a poor man's version (in fact destitute) of Horlin-Smith.

Has Burbury got any other tricks? Tank, speed? Or is he a forward option only?

I found some of these to be very suprising.

I thought Burbury seemed quite good, along with Schroder.

Shame we re-signed Terlich so soon, I would have had one of the two above over him.

The irony is that possibly two of the cats delisted players would be close to best 22 in a dees side.

Yet the afl seems our list as fine and in no need of a priority pick in rejecting out application.

Or is it that these delistees are made to look better with the quality they have around them and they will suck if they came to the dees.

Something doesn't add up for me. Anyone able to help me out on this one?

I don't know too much about either of them, so neither fill me with too much excitement. However, Roos does have a strong tra k record of bringing players from other clubs who sit just outside their best 22, and making them into a 150 game player.

Better than Maxwell's silver hammer, I guess ... :)

Maybe McCarthy has gone past Burbury as that small forward role.


Nick Bourke was on their list for 5 minutes.


If I was Roos, I would be straight after Schroder and Stringer, maybe look at Burbury too.

Burberry clashes with all my Demons clothes. No thanks

But it would look great in the Members' Dining Room.

    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

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
