Would not be in any 22 other than GC. Goody favorite, part of the SA crew. 

What do ya mean 'part of the SA crew'.....It sounds like you mean Goodwin favors the SA lads?

    As if this season wasn't bad enough, they're going to finish it off by giving ANB a 2 year deal?!

    I have no source other than a few DL posters claiming he's signed on.

    I think it's just the one poster saying it repeatedly.  Not saying it's not true BTW!

    It's another one of his fixations.  

    Be careful not to upset him though, he'll just get all sooky and put you on his "ignored" list.

    Junior had a year off and then was picked up by GWS and played another two seasons. When retired was still one of our best and very durable. Hardly cooked. 

    My memory is Junior’s calves were playing up (old man injury) and he was struggling to get up week after week. He had just turned 34.

    He then took an entire year off, and played one season at GWS in an extraordinary circumstance where they were desperate for experience (i.e. no other AFL club would have entertained the prospect) and only managed 13 games with injuries catching up again.

    I still reckon he was cooked but our memories seem to differ.

    But out of respect I would have preferred he was offered a deal on the club’s terms.

    I read in a VFL report that Tim Smith has announced his retirement. Can anyone confirm this please?

    Thanks, that makes sense. I wasn't too sure and embellished a bit to make point. A found memory of Junior in one of his last games for us was when he shirt-front tackled Boomer Harvey who tried to fend and was caught holding the ball.

    Thank God it’s not up to you!

    Incredible there are still those out there that thinks Jones can contribute consistently. 

    Classic rose-coloured glasses. Wouldn't get a game for many other clubs and that goes for his last 4 or 5 seasons.

    We don't actually owe him anything. We've paid him a bloody good wage for a long time. Decent servant in hard times, nothing more.

    You'd think so. Gut feel is we'll get on with it quickly to try and move on from this season.

    So 4 gone, do we see another 4 going?  and who will they be? Tim Smith, JKH, a Wagner?, Stretch, ANB, O Mac? you would think 8 will be a good number. 5 in the draft, 2 trades and maybe a FA?

    Reports Tim Smith has retired so that's 5 already.

    What happens to JKH, Stretch, ANB, Josh Wagner?

  • Quote

    JKH and Stretch have to go IMO. Neither are good enough. ANB is borderline and Wagner is a role player for another 2 years.

    Now we have 0 small forwards....

    All the best Jeffy & Dec - Thanks for your service lads

    excuse my ignorance but whats the go with rookies? like Dec Kielty is a Rookie? does that free up a spot on the list or just something we have to fill with another Rookie? 

    Does that even make sense?

    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!

     

     

    Get Frosty on the 'permanently required' list immediately!

    Normal rookies are essentially main list players now anyway, so yeah we'd have to go into the season with 44 players, made up of a combination of 38+6, 39+5 and so on.

    Walker is Cat B rookie, so sits outside this list and we have to elevate him to have him play, I think they can sit on this list for 2 years with no upgrades.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
