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.

    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.

    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.

    • 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.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
