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.

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.

Why do you say that ? I will be filthy if they keep Dawes over 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

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
