    I doubt he plays on

    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!

    Retire. Vince. Balic. 

    Delist. King. McKenna  Johnstone (then rookie) 

    trade or delist   Jkh   Bugg

    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

    Cap space would be a bit of an issue i'd assume.  But i'm no accountant

    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.

    • 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?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
