Surely we will pay out M Jones and Terlich..

its terrible they are contacted and will suck to take the financial hit in the short term, but we can not carry F grade spuds any longer

I'd say Re MJones at 28+Yrs of age, he must be gone ???

    Dude at work claims to know a player agent. Dees are approaching every midfielder they think is a chance.

    Would be remiss if they weren't.

    Very good source told me Jamar will play on next year but not with us. Has been offered a one year contract elsewhere.

    Good for him if true.

    I'm fascinated to know who.

    I think it would be a case of buying his intellectual property, as he is very well known as being a master of his craft despite wearing concrete boots, and for being a capable teacher of young ruckmen.

    If true, the offer would likely involve an ongoing assistant role once the playing contract is up.

    My guess is Geelong.

    Wasn't given any idea of where unfortunately. Would think if it's 1 year it would be a Melbourne team, Bulldogs could be a good fit?

    I don't think it will be that many - unless we find homes for Garland, Howe, and Grimes. But even then you are looking at bringing in some very speculative talent in the back end of the draft or finding some limited players in Delisted FA.

    Cross and Jamar retiring, M Jones and Terlich being paid out, the aforementioned three moving via FA and Trades, and the deletion of McKenzie, Hunt, Bail, Riley, Michie, and Fitzpatrick would be the maximum I can see and that is 13. Not much room to move.

    You can also compare them to what they would bring in:

    1. Mckenzie/Vanders

    2. Bail/ND5

    3. Terlich/ND27

    4. Hunt/ND47

    5. Jamar/ND66

    6. Howe/*Trade Pick and/or Player*

    7. Cross/Harmes

    8. Fitzpatrick/DFA1

    9. Garland/*FA Pick

    10. Grimes/*Trade Pick and/or Player*

    11.Michie/DFA2

    12. Riley/ND86

    13. M Jones/DFA3

    The above are in some sort of 'desire to keep' order but the value return disappears in my opinion at Michie for the second delisted FA, we might see the back of more than that but I doubt it. I would keep Michie and Riley around but the latter hasn't played much and that isn't a good thing in a contract year - the return on the 11th change onwards isn't great.

    this is a very, very good post. Hard to argue with most. Except for Grimes who i believe is decent but starved of opportunity and Cross, who i wish played on next year but to hear he will be a conditioning coach at the club, makes me feel good.

    Where does Grimes sit in the bigger scheme of things ?? The guy was touted as the club's next Moloney back in his first or second year. He would be a useful depth player but he can't run for sheet.

    I would really like to see Grimes play through the midfield and add depth. He is versatile in this way as he can play back and through the midfield. He hasn't had much of a chance to prove himself through there. In the VFL he plays through the midfield and collects a lot of disposals. You can see similarities between him and Cross. Works hard, highly professional, doesn't have star qualities but is just solid. Hopefully he can develop further.

    1. When was he ever touted the "next Moloney", by anyone?

    2. If he really is the next Moloney, we shouldn't waste time - sack him now.

    Very possible.

    Support for Maric, tutelage for Vickery & McBean who are both still ordinary ruckmen.

    Of course he would be, but after trading Boyd last year I can't see them parting with Patton this year. Plus his injuries over the last few years would worry even the most hardcore supporter.

    With McCarthy and Tomlinson ahead of him and injuries included, I wonder if we could get him cheaper?

    Doubt it. McCarthy has had a good year, but with all the time they have put into him I can't see them giving up and trading him away at this point. To see him prosper elsewhere after they helped him back to full fitness would be a bitter pill to swallow. There is still lots of upside in him and I have no doubt they hope he can slot in at CHF next year beside Cameron and McCarthy.

    An embarrassment of riches up there. Glad at least, to see Treloar going home. The more their talent is dispersed across the league, the less threatening they become. The same with Gold Coast.

    And what do you mean ? Beamer was B&F and A-grade in 2010-11.

    Lol. Moloney was never an A grader. He was a downhill skiing B grader.

    Heard from a good source that he'll be gone at years end.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
