Sorry, LH.  I was looking at the list at the very top.  Totally missed the other one.

Updated for Lockhart and Dunkley, both recruited as Rookies. 

 

By my count we still have 39 players on our primary list because latest additions have been as Rookies.  If anyone has more accurate info please let me know.

Re the list:

I'm guessing we will lose quite a few Rookies. 

Its hard to see a lot of the primary list players who are OOC this year getting an extension.  My thoughts:

  • Baker, Frost, Weideman will get new contracts.
  • J. Wagner, Garlett, J. Smith are 'maybe' depending on assessment of depth.
  • Stretch, Neal Bullen, Kennedy Harris at real risk of going.  They have been on our list for 4-5 years and not able to cement a regular 22 spot.  Can only keep them for so long.
  • Lewis, Maynard gone.
  • Jones - not sure.  Will challenge the list management team:  Nostalgia vs value add vs keeping a younger player out of the team/out of position.

We will get some good draft picks this year: a top 10 and a high second round pick so a chance to get some high end talent and skills.  Time to refresh.

Keilty, T Smith, Cagner, Walker in my opinion will all be delisted from the rookie list.

I would pick a mature age rookie and the rest on under 18 talent who have missed out on the main draft. Surely we can unlock another James Harmes there somewhere?


My opinion is that Garlett, Maynard are definite  delistings, Lewis will retire, of Kennedy-Harris, J Wagner, Stretch 2 will go.

Baker, Frost, Jones, ANB, Weideman, J Smith ( if he chooses to stay) will all receive new contracts.
I am not going to guess if other contracted players may be put up for trade.

pretty spot on, Stretch would be ahead of Jagner to get a new deal due to competion for third tall with lever back and hore performing down back too

Delighted to update this for Weideman's 2 year contract extension until 2021!

T Smith will be kept.

Keeps playing like that and he will. 

Really wrapped for his performance from the weekend. Always been a fan ever since I started watching him closely back in 2016. Just has had rotten luck with no consistency.

Keep at it Bull!

I now think Smith will stay at the expense of Keilty.

Does Corey Maynard get another contract?

I doubt that he will.

Yes need to get new deals for Melksham, Salem, Weideman and Neal-Bullen. 3 year deals for each of the blokes imo. 

Lewis Final year in 2019. Let’s get the premiership and send him out in style  

As they only have 1-year deals, Maynard, Garlett, Wagner-J and Jkh all need to show improvement to stay on board.  

Garlett just needs to find his desire once again and he’s best 22.

Ur

Sure milk resigned

I wonder how keen Frost will be to sign mindful of Steven May.

Surely J Wagner, Stretch, JKH, Maynard will all be gone. Hopefully. AVB retires.

It is looking that way.  AVB has two years to go so if there is any chance of coming good the club will stick with him.

On other possible changes, I think it is harsh to delist J Smith and Garlett as they have season ending injuries and its tough to recover without the support of a football club.  I doubt they can be traded so would like to see them get a one year contract or be rookied.

I don’t see an issue. He’s clearly in our starting back six along with May and Lever.

Two weeks ago ANB was close to a 2 year extension. How long is close?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • 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?
