Nothing personal against Luke, but thank god for that. 5 years on the list, and he only ever looked like an AFL footballer for five minutes at the start of 2011. Far better to cut our losses now and try someone else.

Now hopefully for Evans to join him so we can use all our draft picks.

" nothing personal against Luke" rates up there with "don't take this the wrong but...." and " I don't want be rude however"...

no offense..

    As with Jetta, would happily see him get a chance as a rookie.

    Well if we delist JT and Evans and promise to rookie them, then there is no room for Luke.

    Happy to have him rookied. He just hasn't had a decent run.

    Neville is just the perfect example and role model of what a full pre season and injury free season can do to you.

    Him and jetta playing as the Matthew Whelan types off half back would seriously make our team a whole lot better.

    I don't see it happening for Tappy. He does not posses the tank to accomplish our 2 way running that is demended , can this be accomplished in 1 pre season ( if he can get through it ) ???

    He is not in our best 6 backman or forwards especially if Nev continues as our hard nut back pocket type.

    . Just couldn't find the footy.

    That nails it.

    I had high hopes but he just did not get it enough so that thumping kick did not count for anything.

    Sorry to see him go but he had plenty of time to show us what he could do.

    Would have been a fantastic early 90's and before footballer.

    not so sure about that

    what makes you think he would find the pill more in the 90's?

    Clisby, Georgiou and Nicholson are gone as well.

    that is a releif as i was worried that we might have trouble utilising our draft picks [or be ineligble for the PSD or delisted FAs.

    Like Jetta, when he played that back pocket he looked OK, we just moved him around or he got injured. As a rookie you know that Trengove will go straight on to the long term injury list so a guy like Tappy or even Liam Anthony from North could easy play round 1 if we rookie them.

    That's because we won't delist JT.

    We can only "promise" to re-rookie if no one else takes them in the draft. Like with Jetta, Tapscott won't get picked up, so the option is highly likely. With JT, not so much.

    Plus, if we delist him, we'll have to pay out his existing contract. We would be officially terminating his contract.

    Good luck Tappy, ball is in your court from here.

    yeh he kicked a whopping 12.16 in 48 games, many of them at half forward

    Not whopping but did kick some beauties, Id rather him than a "supposed" AFL footballer , in Mc Kenzie with very limited skills, that misses a goal from point blank range 12 metres out ! Wouldn't you? IMO Tapscott more upside than the other two and he gets delisted . In spite of Evans having a contract and probably Jordy as well the way forward ain't with these two! In fact I reckon they'd struggle to get a run with Managatang magoos!

    Why wouldn't you delist at least another one and grab some smoky with one of your last picks? Time to be Bold!! Evans far too injury prone and Mc Kensie's skills abysmal!

    I just cannot for the life of me understand how DL is still talking about JT being rookie listed. The forum now talks about it as if its fact. Its bloody fanciful, never going to happen. MFC would be crucified, wake up!!!!

    interesting you say Evans is far too injury prone - can't the same be said for tappy ?

    And to top it off, WTE, they're starting to talk about re-rookie list Evans.

    No, no, no, no, NO.

    This place has gone (further) mad.

    And it's unnecessary. Trengove goes onto the LTI and a rookie can be promoted in his place. Same result at a cheaper cost and with a commitment to a player (the new rookie) for one year rather than the two required for any new player drafted. More importantly, I have no desire to see our club terminate contracts and "pay them out". Every time a club chooses to do that it reduces its prospects of getting a quality player by free agency. Who'd want to come to a club that doesn't honour contracts?

    Tappy is the only delisting not to be thanked on the MFC site, probably means he could be rookied. Or Josh Mahoney was away.

    Don't be silly LDC. By delisting Trengove, we get to take pick 53 to the draft and pick up the next superstar, who will make an immediate impact and we're paying him at the base $54k salary or whatever it is.

    I am really sorry that he hasn't made the grade - looked great in his first quarter of footy, but unfortunately hasn't been able to repeat.

    Good luck.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
