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.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
