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

[Cards13 9,117]

what?! no more tiktoks?! Ruthless Dees indeed.

[titan_uranus 22,324]

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.

[Dannyz 2,313]

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.

[Elegt 872]

Dunkley seemed too slow for AFL

[Forest Demon 4,681]

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.

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

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.

[Lord Travis 10,163]

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.

better be heaps more. including Omac

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?

[Demon3 2,541]

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.

[Red and Blue realist 2,026]

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.

Silly me. You are correct.

[DeeSpencer 23,124]

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.
