Mandatory 3 list changes every year. Who do you have ahead of him?

I would say Pedo, if Weid finally comes good because we have King and Flip developing as well, age may finally count against him

JKH if he can't crack a senior game

Vince, age again

    I don't see Lewis playing in 2019 as he is slowing down noticeably.  

    The players you mentioned would be in the group to be looked at and  Vanders and McKenna if they can't get on the park. 

    Kent I think will leave if we don't play him and Frost could as well if he isn't played.  

    As our list is ok at this stage and tinkering only is needed, not wholesale change, we might only trade/delist 3-4 players. 

    Anyway bit early for me to worry about list changes at this stage.

    Surely the club wouldn't be so stupid as to give this guy another contract without seeing him play at least six VFL games this season. Coming up to 4 years on AFL lists, and hasn't come close to playing AFL football in that time. 

    McKenna is number 1 on the chopping block for me, just ahead of Vandenberg & Kennedy-Harris. Patience and loyalty are one thing, but you can't just keep blokes around forever if they aren't playing.

    If they cannot get on the park it does not matter how skilled they are.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that Lewis came to us on a 3 year contract.

    Might serve the last year as an assistant coach.

    Fair enough, I'd say Pedersen is likely to get another year but the other two are likely on the chopping block.

    Gee, that's a big call on a 4 time premiership player.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

    • AFLW REPORT: Geelong

      Melbourne wrapped up the AFLW home and away season with a hard-fought 14-point win over Geelong at Kardinia Park. The result secured second place on the ladder with a 9–3 record and a home qualifying final against the Brisbane Lions next week.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
