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.

    IMO...Five to go off main list and two rookies

    Terlich

    Grimes (persecution)

    Dawes /Pedersen

    M.Jones / M.White

    Newton

    Michie(r)

    Max King (r)

    Wagner to be upgraded. Add Melksham. Grab Hibberd for pick 27 swap

    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.

    Very good depth player and gives us speed which we don't have a lot of

    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).

    Ahh misread, my mistake

    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

    • 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.
