Interesting, there are some names there like Membrey and Roberton who would've been traded but the deals didn't really work so the clubs let them walk as delisted players. Same for some of the veterans for which delisted is a little harsh.

Good teams in the Hawks and Swans have found value with Simpkin, Laidler and Henderson.

We just have to find the right guy if there's one out there for us.

Someone could have collected Neville Jetta as a delisted free agent prior to us Rookie Listing him... that’s a scary thought.

I don't agree. What if you have 4 really good ruckmen or the 6th best inside midfielder they could be surplus in one side or top five in another side with deficiencies in that area. 

They'd be traded, not thrown on the scrap heap for others to pick over.

Membrey was only a delisted free agent because he was out of contact and a prospective deal from St Kilda, who had pick 1 in the preseason draft and didn't do a trade deal with Sydney. That's why we had to trade for Friday, as St Kilda threatened to use that pick for him.

Roberton requested a trade back to Victoria, which didn't work out so Freo delisted him before St Kilda signed him.

 

Looking at the list and age brackets, Sheridan fits in nicely.  With new 4-5 draftees, we will potentially need to grab 1-2 delisted free agents for depth and cover the position 24-25 that Tyson covered. 

Yuk, lets just let Taylor work his magic in the draft please. We already gave that dud JKH a contract how many more can we carry.


don't mind me..

Swans looking at Sheridan and Townsend. 

I'm not convinced we go all in with a better contract and so on but I do think both are worth considering for the last couple of main list spots that we won't fill with valuable draft picks.

The swans know the value of mature bodies, experience and role players.

You mean Cam Sutcliffe..

    After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.

  • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

    What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.
