Not earth shattering news.

Also confirmed James Harmes on the rookie list for another year.

Thanks for your efforts over the journey fellas

Good luck in your futures

cheers

Hope they get offered a lifeline. Haven't had the best of luck, Strauss especially.

 

Stunned its only the 2 players?? Surely more to come as that only frees up 2 spots in the draft (2 & 3)!

Assuming Tapscott doesn't get delisted he better be hoping he gets through pre-season unscathed

I thought we would see needed 12 players de-listed..... am surprised as well.....

 

Wait.

Why special mention of Harmes getting another year?

Does that mean Georgiou and Max King have been given the chop..?


So do H, Garlett and Frost!

So do Lumumba, Garlett and Frost who took their place.

Touché :-)

I thought the 2 mentioned, Tappy, Terlich (pay out the contract!), Evans (ditto), Trenners (ditto), Grimes (ditto) and Spenser. That should do it!

Expect Blease to pop up with the cats.

and expect him to do bugger all


Good luck to both of them.

So this means we have lost 7 players and gained 3 so far.

So as it stands we will be using pick 2, 3, 40 and 42 (Stretch).

We will be upgrading Jetta with our last draft pick as well and you would think that we will use pick 53 seeing as though it was part of the package that resulted in us losing pick 23 to GWS. Looks like we will be delisting at least 2 more players.

Good luck to both of them.

This. Nicholson and Clisby the forgotton deletions.

A sad end to an era of poor drafting & development 08-2012 of so many early picks!

Thank god


Sad but who is surprised?
We are nearly complete with the number of delistings/trades I would have thought appropriate.

Would have been fantastic to see Blease build a tank but unfortunately it never eventuated. Gamebreaker potential that went missing way too often.

Strauss was a high draft pick that I never saw anything in, no standout games/plays/anything. Was only a matter of time I suppose.

 

I never saw much in Strauss. He seemed to lack that competitiveness all players need at this level and his much vaunted 'elite' kicking skills went to water once in the pressure cauldron of the AFL. A good VFL player and probably one that looked great in his younger days but that's the way it goes for many players out there.

Blease, yet another player that showed so much promise in his early games then faded into obscurity.

It's alwaysa little sad to see players delisted regardless of their story. Good luck to them both.

Agree - both boys suffered horrific injuries early in their careers, Bleaser playing kick to kick!

    With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

    The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.

  • PREVIEW: West Coast

    It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.
