You'd have thought we failed to make the 8 or something with all the players wanting out. Or is it a case of Demon players being highly sort after commodities?

Yes we will "sort" them out.


Would have thought he would not be looking eleswhere after the way we have nursed him back to playing, and rushed him into the firsts.

 

Playing finals should be an attraction, not a repellant.

Could it be that Vanders got a nudge at his end-of-season meeting? Is Melbourne clearing the decks for some serious trade action? I like Vanders, but I'm not sure how much I like him, since he is so often injured, and often goes missing in games. Without any related information I'd keep him for at least another year.

 

Wtf..... 

Are we the opposite of a destination club? 

We must be the first team to make a prelim yet going to have 10+ senior list changes

Article says he has a good relationship with the Coach and clearly would be happy with his last part of the season.

Article also says he has to help run the family business and it is too hard from Melbourne.

Also hasn't asked for a trade yet.

And if the 10 we get in are nearly all better than the ones who left, your concern is?

Why??

The article says that his father passed away recently and he’s been running the business from a distance. Moving to NSW might help.

It's quite simple, we want to keep him but offer 1 year with maybe an option on another, Sydney, like the Saints for Kent, offer a straight 3 year deal, which one would anybody take?

A move back to NSW as well

 

Don’t mind Vanders but he doesn’t make our 22 any quicker. A second or third rounder back that we can pass on to GCS for Kolodjashnij would do.

It makes sense that he may want to move.

He has great attributes, but disposal can let him down.

He's a bottom 6 player, so it's no big deal if he goes.

Yea, did anyone actually read the article.

A big overhaul like that could cause a lack of team chemistry. 

You gotta admit it's not ideal losing 25% of your list. 

Unless you're carlton

Are people so heartless as to not see why he might want to move?  

There are real lives to these footballers as well....


Do people bother to read the article before commenting?

I agree but it's probably more to do with stability in our best 22.

So far apart from Hogan being mentioned we don't look like losing those players.

Love Vanders but he's fringe best 22, Kent hasn't played a lot and the others were past their use by.

I'm not sure that cleaning out the bottom half of the list will have a lot of effect on team chemistry.

Adding more than 2 or 3 to the top half of the list could cause problems.

Poor bloke has had a tough year with the death of his father and taking over the responsibility of running the family business from a distance.

It would be a tremendous loss to lose him but sometimes when you are being pulled in two direction you have to make these difficult decisions.

I sincerely hope he stays but would understand if he want to be closer to home.

Agree and if he wants to move back closer to family to assist in running the business then we should assist as long as we get what we want. I have no issues with those that are looking elsewhere. Except for Hogan the others are bottom 6 players or VFL at best. Certainly looks like we are clearing the decks for some serious trade action. Can't wait.

Don't forget posters the nucleas of our side from Prelim game are still there!.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
