    People suggesting as many as 10 players getting cut or traded need to consider who we are getting in.  We have no good draft picks at the moment, not a great position to trade and the best state league players will be given to the bottom teams.

    So players like JKH will certainly be on the list next year. I imagine T Smith will be as well. If Weed and Hogan both go down for example we need some cover.

    So 4 kids in the draft, 2 casey upgrades. 2 players traded in (Pruess and Gaff) - yes i still think we are a chance at gaff

    that is 6 so far.

    Tend to agree

    We've only really got ability to make one or two mid-level trades in and buy one RFA. Add 3-4 kids later in the draft and 1-2 State leaguers in and were looking at about 7 ins.

    Assuming no big name trade out (e.g. Hogan)... I think this means

    Retire: Vince, Pedersen, Balic

    Delist: Bugg, Filipovic,

    Trade: Tyson, Garlett

    Question mark ?: Johnstone, McKenna, King, T Smith (has he got a one year ext??)

    Then Lewis is safe and we need to  Re-Sign: Vandenberg, Kennedy-Harris, Kent and a few of the Question Marks

    All the players listed above your last line have no future with us.

    Delist: King & Filipovic (we got killed every week in ruck in VFL, especially if Preuss in they both have to go!)

    That gives us 5 spots with retirements.

    Sounds like Tyson trade likely that’s six spots, and as much as I like Garlett he will be another trade, making 7 spots available! 

    Then Bugg to trade, or Johnstone or McKenna delist and we have 8! 

    8 is plenty to trade, draft or deal, a very good spot to add into our existing list, with only one Tyson being in our preliminary final 22. Tyson best spot is inside mid and I’d put at least 6 in front of him (Oliver, Viney, Brayshaw, Harmes, Petracca, Jones) and could add Salem, and AVDB, maybe more!

    Trading, delisting eight looks great!

    Rookie delist. Foilopovic 

    Rookie retain. T Smith Maynard

    That’s 7 total spots. (6 main 1 rookie) 

    trade possible. Tyson (tough call)

    rookie upgrade. Keilty

    Pedo Bugg Flopvic King McKenna all delisted

    I think Pedersen is unlucky. He was a handy backup but understand decision. 

    Johnstone lucky but might be delisted/rookied later

    Next? Jkh and Tyson are tradeable

    With Kent going we have 8 spots open on our list and its only 3 days since the season ended!  if hogan goes thats 9. No word about Maynard, Johnstone, Smith, Garlett yet

    sounds like we will be very active in the trade/draft!!

    Good decision to cut ties with King, Filipovic & McKenna. 

    I can't see any benefit to retaining Johnstone, even if his replacement is pick 100 in the rookie draft. Find the best available state league player and give him a chance on the list.

    Kennedy-Harris & T.Smith survive only because we have badly mismanaged our list over the past two years. 

    Garlett, Maynard & Wagner are lucky they have contracts for next year, particularly the first two. 

    I would have kept Pedersen around until after trade week, and Vince would be better value next year than the bottom ten players on our list.

    I thought the jungle drums were fairly strong that May would end up at Collingwood.

    Imagine this:

    Trade Hogan to Fremantle for Pick 6 and 5

    Trade Pick 5 to Gold Coast for Steven May

    Trade Pick 6 to GWS for Dylan Shiel

    Sign Andrew Gaff as a free agent

    Maynard is contracted, as is Garlett

    I know but I reckon Jeff and the Club might come to an arrangement to free up his spot. His heart is clearly not in it anymore. We will probably keep Maynard I’d say

    I now think May will go to Collingwood, Shiel to Hawks/Blues and Gaff to NM.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
