Best of luck to all three and congratulations for making it onto an AFL list. That in itself is no mean feat.

A few  statistics that may be of interest is that the median number of games for all players in 19 and that only a third of drafted players ever play 50 games.

Only one in six make it to a hundred games.

For these reasons I would hate to see the AFL skimp on career and transition counselling for all players in these hard times.

Interesting and sobering stats. The majority don’t make it so let’s be nice and not use terms like spuds and duds.

Otherwise you can apply these derogatory terms to most of us.

    Yep. Foresight is a very valuable thing

    Thought we would keep Kyle Dunkley. He wasn't given much of an opportunity. A bit of a shame he was delisted. Will probably join his brother at the Bulldogs as others have mentioned.

    Would of delisted Toby Bedford and Oscar McDonald before him.

     

    The Wagner brothers were clearly not up to it. So no surprises they were delisted.

    Surprised at Dunkley, but good luck to all 3 boys and thanks for being part of the MFC.

    Surprised by the surprise on Dunkley. Never got near the team in a disappointing year. Not even named emergency IIRC?

    I assume, possibly incorrectly, that some others might have some trade value. After trading is complete, I could see some more delistings.

    I also suspect Jones will retire. Hopefully that's the language used rather than "not offered a contract" or "delisted", although the effect on our list would be the same. Similarly, even though he is apparently contracted for one more year, I wouldn't be surprised if Jetta also retires.

    Jones should retire. Last year he looked ordinary and this year he's looked really slow. But it's decision making that is a worry. He thinks that he still can do all the things he used to be able to do, but can't. It's either a rookie spot and maybe get to 300 or leave gracefully. Although I think he'd need a push.He's already said he wants to go on so watch this space.

    Wonder if we’re considering using him in a playing coach role to save spending under footy dept cap? Neat way to have an additional coach whilst potentially getting him to 300.

    Mr Werribee, JACK WATTS just retired , he has another year on his contract with P.A. Contracts can be altered if the two parties agree i.e Jetta and MFC.  If the Dees decide that Jetta was only going to get limited senior games , he may decide to jump ship early.

    Oscar Mcdonald surely won't get another contract

    Depends if he is a goody fav or not.

    If he is then another 3-5yr extension is on the cards !

    Played seven games this year so I’d suggest he isn’t. I reckon Tomlinson will take OMac’s position and we’ll look for another wingman.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
