    Thanks and best wishes from me.

    Saddened by Grimes in particular. Terrible way for an ex-captain to go out.

    But at the end of the day we barrack for the team and they are but soldiers. That is the football world we live in.

    Yep, three good servants of the club who gave their all during a very difficult time.

    Really feel for Grimey as you know how much he loved the club.

    Guys, thanks to all you've done in what was a very turbulent era for the club.

    Good luck with your future endeavours.

    Sad to see Grimes end his career with us that way, he just couldn't get his decision making and disposal right and the number of times he kicked it out of bounds on the full was infuriating. He played 100 games for the club he grew up supporting so that's got to be the dream of any kid growing up.

    He was dreadful in the Casey GF and that wouldn't have helped but I reckon his cards were marked before then anyway.

    All the best Jack and hope you get a gig elsewhere.

    All three should be proud of what they achieved in the Red & Blue. Grimesy gave his all and loves the club. Matt & Dean worked their ass of to get a shot as mature pick ups, all three of them finished in top 5 of the B&F. well done lads.

    Yeah I feel for Jack, surprised they didn't even attempt a trade. A sad end to his career with us.

    I guess it shows you what his currency is out there in the marketplace. Hope someone else gives you a shot!

    All the best to all 3

    Interesting to see Matt Jones go. I'd have kept him before Michie or Newton. Still, I'm sure their names are coming too.

    Goodwin putting his first major stamp on his side.

    Sad to see Grimes' career end the way it has. I truly hope he finds a spot somewhere next season.

    The other two, it was always coming.

    I really hope Grimes gets to keep playing, would be thrilled for the family if he gets the chance to run out alongside his brother at Richmond.

     

    that said, can't say I am surprised at these delistings.  Thanks for you contribution to the club Matt, Dean and in particular Jack.

    He is still with us till Oct 31 officially, so like Fitzy a club can give us a 4th or 5th round pick, should they choose, gives Jack the opportunity to talk to everybody.....whoops he is a free agent....forgot

    Will just add as a sponsor of Jack for a few years, he gave his all for the club and is a really nice bloke. 

    Wish him well for the future in footy and for his life in general. 

    Thanks to Matt and Dean for their contribution as well and good luck for the future.

    Surprised to see Jones go in the first pass. I thought he had a case for one more season, and probably would have played games next season, but I guess that's (rightly) not where the bar is set.

    No surprises with Grimes, but it still gives me a stab of grief now that it's official. A player who gave his all the MFC during the toughest of times. I hope the note he leaves on is not too sour and he can continue to be a Melbourne man after footy.

    Thanks to all three for their contributions.

    Three guys that tried their hearts out for the club.  No surprises with Terlich and even Grimes; am a little surprised that Jones went as he seemed to be in the selectors top 26 or so players for most of the year.  

    This is, I suppose, the price you pay for an improving list; you lose some guys who gave their all during some very tough years.

    I had hoped he would rebound, a quality person who did everything the club asked of him. Loyal and clearly respected by his teammates. I wish him every success.

    Does delisting mean anything to FA status, as far as a club getting compensation?

  • Quote

     I'm surprised Terls got the flick.He was just coming good!!

     

    Matty Jones just lacks size but tried hard.The squirrel move was his undoing .

    Jack Grimes might get picked up with any luck.A tough career getting smashed in a poor era , he stood up for us , especially when he was younger.

    I think so Redleg, i don't think you get compensation for a delisted free agent. The article does say we have advised them we will not be offering contracts next season, whether they have been officially delisted yet, i'm not sure.

    Yes, it means no compensation. Wouldn't have got any anyway most likely as I doubt Grimes will be on a very big contract if he gets picked up - very long shot anyway IMO.

    Unless you were worried about compo for Terls :-)

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
