With the VFL side now out of the finals race I wonder when they will announce first official delisting.

First thing Monday?

    Exit interviews Monday morning.

    You’d expect the club to be professional and make sure the players concerned are the first to know.

    Out of contract: Kade Chandler, Kyle Dunkley, Sam Frost, Jeff Garlett, Declan Keilty, Jay Kennedy Harris, Jay Lockhart, Nathan Jones, Tim Smith, Billy Stretch, Corey Wagner 

    Joel Smith, Josh Wagner and Oskar Baker are all locked in for next year, while the other Wagner – Corey – and mid-season draftee Dunkley are also expected to continue. Frost is enjoying a career-best season and will come to terms at some point, while Jones is also going to continue next year. Stretch and Lockhartshould also get fresh deals and Chandler just made his AFL debut after some promising VFL performances, but Tim Smith is highly unlikely to play on. Garlett, Kennedy Harris and Keilty are in a holding pattern.

     

    If it was up to me I'd start with delisting Jones at 9:01 Monday morning.

    And I thought Kade Chandler wasn't. Didn't we just draft him?

    We probably need to make about 8-10 changes, so besides the obvious few, some more players will be moved on.

    Maynard and Lewis are gone, Keilty, JKH and Garlett are likely too. Tim Smith and Josh Wagner could also be added and Walker the rookie is probably gone. That is 8 and maybe another 1-2 could and should be traded, like ANB who IMO has no future with us. His mate Billy might get another year, with Josh's brother Corey.

    I assume the first line of that paragraph indicates they've signed new deals, but it also has a number of inconsistencies.

    Rookie draft pick, so he's only on a one year deal, but I'm pretty sure he'll get a 1 year extension.

    Be Brave Demons...

    Cut Deep, we have to get rid of those not up to it

    Keep those with the right attitude

  • Quote

    All club commitments will be completed by Wednesday.  Exit interviews etc completed by then.  Suspect we will hear about ‘retirements’ early, delistings after this.  Suspect there might be a few held over in case of trade value etc.  I think be Wednesday we will have a first idea of how big the blood letting will be...

    Question:  Is there a ‘surprise untouchable’ that will go on the market?  ie, Watts, Hogan?

  • Quote

    Lewis, Tim Smith and Maynard are gone. I think we can only sustain about 6 list changes per year without risking depth issues.

    Garlett, Stretch and Corey get 1 more year I think. 

    ANB and Keilty have to be traded or delisted. 

    I'm undecided on Omac and Jones.. I think they stay for now.

    Sign Frost!

    That is how you reward loyalty.?????  Give the bloke some slack and I feel we owe him.

    Are we keeping Jones purely to get him to 300 games. Anyone see Hawthorn last night....

    Owe him what? What would he add if he stayed on? Certainly not leadership or class, we cant afford any passengers no matter how “feel good” the story is In a perfect world everyone gets to play 300 games.

    I'm happy to delist him at 10:01 or 11:01 if it makes you happy.

    Ideally package him up and trade him to some other battling team.

    Honestly I'll keep him if he's willing to play VFL and get paid minimum chips and that would be a decision made through loyalty, but it will also take loyalty from Jones to put his hand up and be honest about where he's at. And some strength of character from Goodwin to back in younger players with a healthier list next year.

    Unfortunately Jordan Lewis' career at Melbourne has shown Goodwin is incredibly soft on declining older players. So I don't trust him to manage Jones.

    Jones lost us the game yesterday and I'm angry at him but the whole club should be because it's complete trash for a captain to just throw away a game with an awful error but that's where we are at as a footy club.

    We owe him nothing. He has been well paid. 

    The game moves on

    That worked well when we offloaded James McDonald if I recall.

    We also need to factor in Brayshaw and Hunt trades...so we may not delist as many as people think.

    It was the right thing to do. Junior didn’t like it

    we are far too soft on older players

    • 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.
