Matt Jones could be in the gun.

Pedersen has been put in for early surgery which suggests he's safe. 

And i suspect White will get a 3rd rookie year going by Plapp's weekly write ups of his performances.

I'm guessing we have to use 3 picks in the draft ? 3rd & 4th round & one for Wagner upgrade. 

IN: Hibberd, 3rd rounder 4th rounder, Wagner upgrade 

OUT: Terlich (100%) Grimes (100%) Dawes, Newton/M.Jones. I want Mitch White gone too 

That's 4-5 changes, guess there could be more. We don't have to free a spot for Melksham do we ? There is already a spot for him.

DELIST Dawes, Matt Jones, Terlich, Newton, Michie, Max King

FREE AGENT WALK Grimes

TRADE OUT Garland

TRADE IN Hibberd plus two others. Nathan Vardy & Tom Lamb my ideal targets.

You're probably right, but that's up to Goodwin now.  I always felt Roos had a soft spot for him, but that may not be the case with Goody.

He could be in the 'trade gun.'

Has some worth as a bottom 6/fringe player.

The interesting one will be which one of Dawes/Pedo goes

Might be able to help here, it won't be Pedo.

Most of the other posts have the bulk of the names covered, however I wouldn't be surprised to see Lamumba retire as well

I said Pedo will be staying. The quote referred to which one would go. I said it won't be Pedo going.

Delist: Terlich, Newton, White, King

FA: Grimes

50/50 on Dawes and I'd keep Michie for another year personally (shouldn't surprise anyone).

My barometer is set on Dawes. It will be sackcloth and ashes if we need to keep him.

I'm split on him, but does the age of a list clogger matter? I mean if you're a list clogger by definition you probably won't get better, almost certainly you'll be 23+, if you're 24 or 29 who cares? In fact I'd probably rather the 29 year old for some life experience and leadership.

Out: Terlich, Grimes, Dawes, Newton, Michie (r), Max King (r)
Possible: Matt Jones, Mitch White (r)

Trade out: 1 of Garland or Dunn (take your pick)

Rookie promotion: Wagner

Trade in: Hibberd

Main list spots: 4  - 3rd round pick, 4th round pick, delisted free agent, PSD/extra rookie

Rookie list spots: 3

Train on:
Matt Jones - depending on draft/free agents we might need an experienced outside runner. Could be rookied or go on the main list depending on list space
Mitch White - needs to do a lot of speed work, could stay on but cutting him might give us flexibility
Max King - if he got fit he's got a lot of talent, worth keeping him training if he came back in shape in November could be re rookied

Couldn't find the previous thread...

Who will the Dee's delist in the coming weeks?

Usually there are 6-7 that make way. I think all below are on shaky ground. 

Michie, White, Dawes, Terlich, Newton, Grimes, Max King, Pederson

Not too sure who else is shaky, who will be traded and who will be on Rookie list. 

 

From > Dunn, Terlich, King, Dawes, Newton, JK-H, Grimes,

I am sure you cannot "rookiie" someone for more than 3yrs which means Max King will get the chop. Spencer could end up being traded surely he wants to play seniors and not be anyones sidekick. Bisbance,GC may be interested. If we cannot get Hibberd for the right currency then we should go for Marchbank,GWS are much easier to deal with than EFC. Dunn,Garland and Dawes all of whom are getting little senior game time may want  more.At this stage we cannot get a 1st round pick so hopefully there are some diamonds in the rough in our latter draft round picks. Salem will become a midfielder which means ANB could be traded. Garlett may need to do some midfield work due to lack of opportunities to score in the forward line.

Spencer has been re-signed until 2017 and I suspect that unless we bring in an experienced and proven ruckman of the Mumford ilk, Spencer will continue to sign one-year extensions. He's not going anywhere. It would be suicide to dump ruck stocks when your back-up ruckman on game day is Jack Watts.

Could easily have played 18.  Got injured early when his form was very good and missed a block of 4-5 games.  When he came back he played well in the VFL but we had almost a full list to choose from.

Delist certainties: Michie, Terlich, Newton, King

Delist probabilities: M.Jones, 

Trade: ANB (keep if no trade), JKH (keep if no trade), Grimes (DL if no trade), Dawes, Garland (DL if no trade), Dunn

That should be 5-6 spots freed up on the list for Hibberd + Wagner + 1 more trade in + 3 picks in draft

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury.

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
