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.

Taylor Hunt gone too, but not announced because they want a trade.

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 !

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

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?

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.

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.

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

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    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
