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.

    Best of luck to you in whatever the future holds

    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: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
