Spencer White delisted from St Kilda after a couple of years. I remember hearing a lot of hype around him - worth a look at all?

Saints have delisted a few - no doubt will cause a proliferation of new threads but this is it according to news.com.au

A KEY forward once likened to Lance Franklin and a utility compared to Brendon Goddard are out the door after St Kilda list cuts.

Spencer White attracted comparisons to the Sydney superstar with his athleticism but never cut it at senior level, playing just two senior games (four goals) after he was selected with pick 25 in the 2012 draft.

Arryn Siposs was noted for his prodigeous right boot and won a Rising Star nomination in 2012. He said before the 2013 season he had ambitions of filling the hole left by Goddard when he left for Essendon as a free agent.

He has also been delisted after failing to play a senior game this year.

The Saints have made two other list changes, parting ways with defender Tom Simpkin and injury-cursed forward Daniel Markworth who failed to play a senior game in four years at Seaford.

I'd like to think that our list management team can achieve a much better outcome than that.

Sen reports collingwood talking with Howe.

Freeman would be at this stage a downgrade. Its unusual for highly rated high draftees to be on the table after two years unless he's nqr but he looked great at tac cup level (as did many).

Howe for Treloar? ;)

someone here claimed Aish would announce his want to go to Collingwood. Nothing yet so does that mean he has suitors in the clubs who havent finished?

Let's wait for the inevitable 'The Spencer White Thread' or 'The Arryn Siposs Thread' with some pathetic attempt at making them seem like great recruits for us next year.

If anyone does starts those threads they deserve to be banned. I hope the mods are paying attention!

Only one on the St Kilda list of delistings that slightly interests me is Markworth. So promise no White or Siposs threads from my end!

Fair amount of chatter around that Aish is Hawthorn bound. Paul Connors confirmed Collingwood are no longer in the running.

HIs silence on his future may have a lot to do with his prospective employer's involvement in finals footy.

For all the debate on Aish's trade worth, the Hawk's first rounder is probably around the mark.

If they were feeling extra generous, they could throw Suckling into the deal so any Leuenberger compensation isn't diluted.

EDIT: Insert Grimley for Suckling and we may have the formulation of the deal.

Ban top 4 teams from trades above AFL average player salary. Also, no access to FAs. Something needs to be done to stop top clubs collecting the cream from struggling clubs

Well, they have installed the pre-cursor to that with Sydney's hamfisted restriction on trading the last two years and now their max $450k contract stipulation for new players.

So that might be a chance to happen.

Calm your farm.

Do you really think Melksham is the only player we'll be bringing in?

The reason we're not a destination club is our own fault.

You do realise that?

Some of those are mere speculation though, particularly Bennell, Aish and Selwood. It's been stated Selwood is keen to stay in WA.

But I get your point. It seems players just want to either go home these days or go running to a premiership contender. It's pathetic.

How soon are clubs going to overlook interstate talent and just draft or sign players from their own state? So many players want to 'go home' these days that clubs will overlook them and just draft players where that won't be a factor.

You mean like drafting Watts instead of Nic Nat?

or in our case drafting Toumpas instead of Ollie!

PS. Just having some fun.

This is why next year is so important.

We must continue to improve next year so we can start appearing as a suitable destination club for players.

Moving home or to a club who are contending for a premiership... Seriously how is that pathetic? moving out of home into a different state is a lot for a 18/19 year old. You make a major change in your life and lets see how you cope.

What if the tables were turned, MFC finishing top 4 and poaching talent from bottom 4 clubs. I guarantee you attitude would be different.

Why do they play the game? Play for a team that finishes bottom 4 or have the opportunity to win a flag?

The journo's chatting with Harford on SEN said they believe Toumpas will play his footy somewhere else next year. Not sure on what the were basing it on but, just made a passing comment.

Yet to sign, despite the thread on him extending his contract. Looking more and more likely every day.

I wonder what we will get for him?

    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

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
