Will Garland retire?

 I think he will. 

When he’s not #Breakingtrades, he’s knowing who’s going to retire.

    With Col Garland retired and everybody else on contract, it looks as if we're set to recruit four more players to fill our main list. Our last pick will be 47 - around the same place where we drafted Mitch Hannan last year so it looks like there's going to be a little more interest on draft night than there was last year.

    You are having a tough night tonight aren’t you? So sorry mate, we can give you a hug next week at the game. Sounds like you need it.

    Minimum three to come off the list 

    If Vince or Lewis (who has a year to run) retire there’d be two, plus JKH and DJ would struggle to hold their spot 

    Some judicious pruning will definitely be required

    Game plan is the problem not players. Richmond have many average players but clearly it doesn't matter.

    it's a mix of both, tigers actually have a fantastic list with great depth , were missing 3 players from the past week yet covered them fine, on the other hand we only have one player in the vfl putting his hand up selection who is a key forward in their 30s on their last legs, all the tigers players are quick yet the only fast players I can think of are frost garlett and hunt, we really need to draft better ball users and speedy players as the players we have now are not up to it in the modern game- which is built on quick ball movement and intense pressure, it really makes me wonder why we draft such slow players

    Maynard and King are developing so they will stay for another year.

    Wagner won't be delisted.

    I would hold onto Neal-Bullen and Harmes for depth.

    Add Frost and I agree with the rest. 8 sounds like a good number for delistings.

    Delist: Bugg, JKH, Stretch,

    Bernie Vince. I love the old Vince but he left at the beginning of last season. 

    King- project player that has not worked out. 

    McKenna - injury prone. 

    Kennedy Harris - no hunger to play AFL. 

    That is about it but we are not playing the right players either. Spargo, Fitsch and Balic will get an extended run now, as will Pedersen.

    lol do you really think clubs would trade for Salem and Tyson? they're not stupid 

  • Quote

    Salem and Tyson are two of our better players and automatic best 22

    Unless we get a like for like replacement they’re going nowhere

    FMD, think about list make up people

    Lewis has a year to go; he’s not going to forego a year’s (very good) salary

    Vince May retire or he may play on - he’s automatic best 22 for us, so why not get another year and decent pay out of his body?

    McKenna and vandenBerg (and potentially Kent) don’t have the bodies to play afl

    Maynard, JKH and DJ sadly don’t look up to it

    And then it’s a matter of judicious trading; but if Salem and Tyson were parts of that conversation I’d be mighty surprised

    tyson: absolute butcher of the ball, poor 2 way running and refuses to man up, slower than gawn, has no left foot, gets caught holding the ball too often

    salem: small, lacks pace, poor 2 way runner and gets beaten by his opponent too often, kicks get smothered frequently, not fit enough to play midfield, can' take a mark

    vince: so slow, handballs to the ground, poor defensive skills, butcher's the ball

     

    I would hardly say they're best 22

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • 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?
