What’s the latest now we have gotten rid of watts to port and signed flip, king and Maynard? 

What pick did we get for JW now that he is gone ? Do you know?

    I've noticed in some other threads there is discussion of # of list spots etc. 

    This is latest List, Contract status and Trade Summary:

     

    This includes all the contract changes for our 2017 List, delistings and the arrival of Lever.

    We have 3 primary list spots. 

    We now have no 'B' rookies.

    Its worth remembering that from next year Rookies can play senior games without waiting to be 'upgraded' for a LTI or similar.  It is a change brought in with the new CBA.

    Watts and Garland depart, Balic arrives, means we have four positions available on the list.

    We currently have three draft selections in the second-round (#29, #31, #36) and one in the third-round pick (#47).

    However, we don't need to take four to the draft (technically we can go to the draft with two as J. Smith is being elevated). It will be interesting to see if the club has another last-minute play in mind (e.g. Kennedy as others have mentioned).

    I stand to be corrected, but as I understand (and this has been mentioned a number of times), because Garland is contracted next year he remains on our list even though he has retired. Similar situation to Lumumba this year.

    I think he goes off the list for the Final List Lodgement to the AFL but any 2018 money paid as part of the settlement is part of our salary cap. 

    Lumumba was not on our 2017 list per se.  But because he retired after the Final List Lodgement and the AFL would not allow us to upgrade a rookie we only had 39 senior players.  Payments for 2017 would have been in our 2017 salary cap.

    Below is the table post trade.

    We have 4 list spots so off to the Draft with 29, 31, 36 and 47.  84 used to upgrade J Smith.

    No, there should be a free spot on the list mate.

    Lumumba carried on to the point where he technically retired after the final list lodgement. Thus, we were stuck with his name on our list for the year.

    Hopeful that we sign Sam Collins as a delisted FA and take picks 29, 31 and 36 to the draft.

    I like him, but if the footy club loved him they should've signed him now and traded 47 for a pick next year. Got to wait until draft night and see what's available at 47 before signing anyone now I think. We owe Jason Taylor a chance to really assess the draft.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
