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: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
