Good luck Bull.  Showed plenty of courage and commitment, and sad to see you go.  I remember that maggot Rance sticking the knees into Bull’s back and putting him out for an extended period.  Never had a solid run at it.

    So where does that leave us: so far, Keilty and Garlett gone, Smith and Lewis retired. I think I'm missing someone ... but is there a thread somewhere with the comings/goings?

    I have updated this thread:

    There seem to be a few players re-contracted but not announced so had planned to wait till they were known.

    Congrats on a career Bull! Was always a fan and unfortunately injuries got the better of you.

    Certainly had the talent thats for sure.

    Well done Bull, you played AFL footy and achieved your ambition.

    Unlucky with injuries, which probably cost you a few more games.

    Hope you return to Casey.

    Met you a few times and you are a nice friendly bloke.

    Good luck in the future.

    Awesome effort Tim, just like Dec you gave it a red hot crack and had some excitement to you. Best of luck for the future and hopefully you take some screamers in local footy.

    A tough hoor and solid player but injury prone. I must say I thought he was the better of the present listed Smiths.

    Officially announced. Ripper bloke, always gave his all, probably to the detriment of his body in the end.

     

    Looking at that right forearm, I fully expect to hear he's gone to Hollywood to play Popeye.

    Sad news - a man who gave his best had a dip and was very unlucky ( with injuries ) should have played 100 Thanks Bull -

    Cheers for your efforts Bull, gave it a red hor crack but unfortunately the footy gods weren't on your side.

    Bull had potential and gave us the best he had to give, a goer. However he had more potential being injured and was good at that.

    Rarely strung 2 games together but he had heart more so than many of his team mates could show.

    I was a really big fan of the Bull, was hoping he could fill that Cam Pederson role, but you cant fight the body. He should be really proud and hope he goes well post footy. 

    So that 5 gone..(Jeff, Jordy, Maynard, Dec  & Bull)  who else gets us to that magic number of 8?

    Not sure why 8 is a magic number but if you want 3 more names:  Stretch, Kennedy Harris, J Wagner still un-contracted and like other OOC players no rumours that they have re-sgined (and announcements yet to be made).

    I think 8 changes to the list is the right amount of refreshing. It allows some flexibility in how we conduct the trade period. Gives us 2 /3 looks at FAs 4 draft picks which we need, we need to keep adding youth and finding good players and then a fresh rook or Pre season pick.

    My guess it will be at least 10 players out. 

    Add Guy Walker to the 3 names I just posted.  And Frost is rumoured to be traded.  That is 10 outs.  And I wouldn't be surprised if another contracted player isn't traded.

    Yeah good call with Walker, forgot about him.. and yep Frost on the way out and i agree, i think we may find there is another contracted player on a clubs list.. so yeah you may be right, it might be 10, that's close to a 1/4 of the list. big turnover, not opposed to it though.

    My only thoughts on stretch and JKH is that they would likely be told by now unless they will be used as pawns in other trades?

    I think JKH and Wagner will both be cut with Stretch offered a 1 year deal.

    I believe Lockhart Wagner and Baker have all signed 1 year deals.

    In light of this a good idea would be to let Frost walk as loosing another tall is a good idea!

    yeah i tend to think Stretch will retained for cover.. if JKH & Wags get cut then it would stand at 7, plus a Frost on the way out maybe and possibly 1 more.. like Jayden Hunt who might look at opportunities elsewhere (hope not and just speculating) so we might be looking at 8/9 changes. its about right.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
