Wow, you would be hoping GWS have some cap room, if not they are going to be raided. Half that top 10 belong to GWS!

If we have some cap room we surely can look at getting 1-2 players on that list.

    Watch for the new AFL rule to stop it happening.

    Top 10 out of contract targets

    If you are already missing trade week, the Hun lists the top 10 out of contract players at the end of next season.

    Cameron and Dangerfield are the genuine stars. Who else would you choose to help boost our midfield stocks?

    Can someone please make this 10 into a dart-board & pin it up on the drafting trading wall, so we can keep a sly eye on it thru the 2015 season?

    well we can always help them to jump up their payments at the very least.

    One of the GWS boys is surely gettable. Treloar, Shiel or Smith would be ideal to add firepower to our midfield stocks.

    I reckon we held off this trade period knowing whats in store at the end of next sason

    We will probably have 2 million to splash around on that ridiculous load of talent coming out of contract

    We may already have a player or 2 committed to us, who knows

    But either way its imperative we rise up the ladder in 2015 so we can entice free agents

    Another 4 or 5 win season and we are stuffed again

    I can't see us getting Dangefield, Sloane or Steven as they are at the age where they want success immediately.

    Cameron will get a massive million dollar deal with whoever he goes to.

    I can see us going for any of Sheil, Treloar, Tomlinson or Smith as they are at the age where they might be willing to wait for a bit of success but we will have to pay massive overs for any of them, similar to a Boyd deal.

    I can't believe Jones isn't in the top 10, easily the most underrated player in the AFL.

    Adam Treloar set to follow Tom Boyd in returning to Melbourne next year

    Yes please! Treloar only 21 and IMO will be in the best 5 mids in the comp by 25.

    Considering the ages I would have had Treloar over Dangerfield and Kennedy this year. He is the quintessential modern day footballer. He is the only one I would have contemplated giving both picks 2 & 3 for

    a lot of talent going to be on the market, and a lot of clubs are going to have to shed their own good players to make room if they want to pick up any of these young high priced targets, also a lot of players are going to be testing the market to see what they are now worth regardless of whether they are contracted or not.

    Our most important target isn't on that list - Nathan Jones.

    I'm sick of bleeding players out of this club.

    Make a statement and re-sign Jones then move on to external targets.

    his run would suit the Roosy gamestyle, busy all the time.

    I like Shiel's point of difference, his power & fend-off & neatness with ball.

    I think Shiel has a lot left in his armory to show yet. but would like to see more urgency.

    we need more run, & we need more grunt coming away from the in/unders, punting the ball forward I'd like to see a combo of Viney & Shiel... pity about wines.

    still need an aish but stretch comes to mind.

    most of all they have to have the fierce drive to change the clubs culture, to really lift the values to elite.

    Sign Jones and Garland, pinch Treloar and Shiel.

    I would love to add Devon Smith to that, Smith, Treloar & Shiel, now that would be nice...

    I agree, the club needs to sign him up before round 1. Entering and playing the season will be full of speculation.. Personally, if he bleeds red & blue he would be signed up before round 1.

    We definitely do not want another Frawley situation.

    I'd have Treloar or Shiel before Toby Greene.

    He's a pest off the field and we've got Viney in the wings who is a similar type of player with similar attributes.

    We need a dynamic midfield and the missing ingredient atm is class and finish.

    Greene wouldn't give us that.

    Throw money bags at Treloar and Danger next year and we're on our way

    Imagine a midfield rotation of:

    Jones

    Dangerfield

    Tyson

    Treloar

    Viney

    Vince

    Brayshaw

    Salem

    Toumpas

    That's disgusting is what that is.

    How can we not have cap room with the list we've got.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
