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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
