One post and already you make sense! I think that the four players you suggest are better suggestions than the three de listings suggested in post # 506

What a shame the only two players listed that weren't in post #506 are contracted for 2016.

 
 

What about the rookies guys?

vB to be elevated, and maybe White gone?

Reckon they're all developing well.

I'd be tempted to promote Vandenberg & Harmes and keep King & White both on the rookie list for another year.

Why are you moving White on Stuie?

Not developing quickly enough for mine, especially given we already have slow burners in King and Harmes who are way ahead of him.

Personally I'd rather someone a year or two older so we don't get found out so badly for injuries next year.


You could choose to engage and answer the question or not.

So if by some miracle he was on the list as a rookie let's say the pixies did it, would he play this week? I say probably. I am not advocating that we do rookie him.

He might of but then Mission injured him, he'll be right to go in 4 - 6 weeks.

Really? Was injured over pre-season. Has developed nicely. Getting better every week.

What's the contract status with Hunt? Given he has been injured for so long I'd be thinking he is nervous?

Standard 2 year deal that finishes this year. They'll have to make a call on Hunt. White has moved ahead of him as a rebounding half back.

Been to see him play at Casey this year?

Yeah he's certainly in danger. Reckon he may get lucky with a 1 year extension, but don't expect the offer to come until well into trade period I reckon once they know how the list is shaping up.

Delist and re-rookie?

Hi I am the Ultimate Demon and I am a new member. I am a die hard Demons supporter and everyone in my family is!

Here are a few players who I have considered:

- Dean Terlich

- Matt Jones

- Jordie Mc Kenzie

- Rohan Bail

Please post your thoughts! :)

Welcome Ultimate

I wont be as subtle as Song Formerly Known As,

I hope your enthusiasm doesn't fade and you don't let the frustration turn you into a twisted individual as Song suggests.

I acknowledge your thoughts and hope you continue to express them despite any total disregard that will happen.

In fact Song, like most here, is also a fantastic supporter. All dees supporters are, as we have been been treated to the most amazing football journey with so little ultimate reward.

I hope you will appreciate the wealth of experience and knowledge that is displayed in commentary on Dland, and also hope you appreciate the wit and bulltish that is also prevalent, and usually with bullet like speed and rapier sharpness and learn to ignore some of the less than savoury comments.

Well I think that leaves an opening for many so enjoy and GO DEES

Why are you moving White on Stuie?

From Justin Plapp's round 9 player review:

Mitch White: Whitey played really well on the weekend. Some of his 50/50 contests and one-on-one stuff was really strong, particularly in critical contests. He had 15 possessions, one tackle and eight marks. Two or three of those marks were from opposition kicks, where he got himself into really good position and impacted the footy in the air. He was also able to close out his opponent really well. Whitey is growing and improving at a really good rate and he’s a pleasure to coach, because he follows instructions. He’s showing some really strong improvement, so he was one of our better players.

He's been on the rookie list for half a season? You're a tough man Stuie.... if you were head of our list management I'd imagine we would turn over 20 players a season.

:roos:

Lachie Henderson would be a good get, IMO. Flexible, good pair of hands and would compliment Hogan and Pedersen up forward, with the ability to swing back.

I am actually more intrigued by the rookie list situation. The senior list delistings are reasonably obvious, but all the guys on the rookie list have shown enough to warrant more time you would think, so will be interesting to see how they juggle it. Obviously vandenBerg is a shoe in for the senior list.

Well thats what Rookie list are for mate other wise guys like Will Langford wouldn't be the player he is today developing on the rookie list for two years before he got a game.

Definitely think he will be in the mix for us.

I don't see any reason as to why we wouldn't have a good go at picking him up. Fits our needs right now.

But our needs are pretty much everywhere.

If we could add him and someone like Scott Selwood as free agents, plus our first round pick it could go a long way to us making finals next season.

Really? Was injured over pre-season. Has developed nicely. Getting better every week.

Just my opinion guys.

For mine, I just feel we need a 50/50 balance of young developers and more mature looking for a shot types on the rookie list and I have King and Harmes ahead of White at this stage.

And yes, I have seen him play.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
