Josh Wagner, who played 42 games wearing the No.42 and his brother Corey, who played 19 games for North and Melbourne, set to be among the delistings at the Demons.

    Both have seemed like really hard workers and well liked teammates.

    Feel like it might be more these 'middle of the road' players that pay the price more for the list reductions. IMO priorities will be stars and then cheap backups.

    Both should've been gone years ago. Honest triers and good on them for that but they never should have been re signed

    It's the right call, on both fronts.

    J Wagner didn't do too badly in his two games this year but he's a limited footballer who hasn't really developed beyond what he initially showed in his debut year in 2016. 

    Good luck to them both in their future endeavours.

    42 games for the number 42. A solid penultimate outing against the Saints.

    I feel for Dunkley - COVID may have really screwed up his chances to hone his craft at VFL level.

  • Quote

    Hard to not feel sorry for these guys given they didn't really get a chance this year due to the lack of VFL and basically no continuity in training. But that's the world we live in unfortunately, lots of people out of work and that's just the way it is.

    Not disagreeing with the decisions at all, all 3 are relative no brainers from the club's POV, and there will be more to come as well I assume.

    Genuinely baffled Dunkley got another contract in the first place.

    All the best to them, I had a soft spot for the Wagner brothers but alas it wasn’t to be.

    Best of luck to the three of them. The Wagners worked hard and got the most out of themselves IMO. 

    Dunkley didn't get much of a chance due to COVID, but I never felt he had the attributes to make it regardless.

    Very generous assessment.

    Aside from trading options there are Interesting decisions ahead for those on rookie list (Bennell, Chandler, Brown, Lockhart and Bradkte) - Retain, Upgrade, or Delist?  Interesting also re retirements (Jones?  Jetta? KK?) and long term injury (Neita) do we retain on main list or drop to Rookie?

    Its a tough time, i get angry at the players i get angry at the club but after it all settles, I love the club and hate seeing players depart. The Wagner boys looked like great fellas, popular teammates and they had a red hot dip, good on them. Dunkley got an opportunity which is more than lots of people, he should be proud.

    I think there will be 3 more to go shortly and then they might sit on it for a while. Im convinced they will try and get something for Oscar.

    With Josh Wagner gone there is an opening for the Demonland Sponsorship.  In 2017 I had a choice between Wagner and Harmes and chose Wagner.

    You'd think there would be a few players who will be delisted after they are shopped around.

    If their contract is up at the end of this year then why would other clubs trade for them?

    They would just pick them up as delisted free agents.

    Good luck to them all! According to footywire we've still got another 20 guys out of contract, I'd say the rest might be waiting for list sizes etc. to be determined first. Obviously Fritter, Viney, Hibberd and a few others will be playing AFL, but there's still be 12 or so who could be a little nervous.

    Most years we keep 1 or 2 guys in limbo depending on the outcomes of the trade period.

    When you add in list sizes still up for debate and probably a 1-2 player swing on those negotiations that’s 4 spots. 
     

    Add in the draft class surely being one of the most difficult to assess of the professional era and it’s a lot of uncertainty. 

    I hope no player wants to be delisted but at least these 3 have some certainty. It might be a rough time for half a dozen more.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • PREGAME: Fremantle

      After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
