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!

    Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

    It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

  • DRAFT: The Next Generation

    It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

  • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

    A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
