Surely Mason Wood gets another go somewhere.

I think Lewis Jetta would be a good fit for us. 

Answer to Question 1. No. 
Answer to Question 2. No.

    Thanks Daz. ( I am from Qld but ex Vic of 27 years.)

    Is SFL like the old Federal District or SEFL.?

    The SFL is a bit of both plus the old Eastern Churches league...

    We couldn’t get Tom Phillips across but I wonder whether we would be interested in his brother Ed who has just been delisted by St Kilda.

    Have only seen glimpses of him but has looked okay at times.

    Maybe a rookie spot? Start him of at Casey on a wing and see if he’s good enough?

    I played in the SFL, first game was out at Brooklyn... the biggest all in brawl I’ve ever seen, it was terrifying.

    When I look through the delisted players , if I had to choose one player to pickup it would be Ryley Stoddart.  He has just turned 21 and had 3 years in the Swans system.  I remember him in the 2017 championships for Vic Metro.  He plays wing/half back , is a left footer and had real pace. Good skills. I think he got a few injury setbacks at the Swans and couldn’t quite crack it. Played the 6 games in 2018-19.  
    Given his style is what we need (I’d like to add 3-4 quick skilled players to our list) , he’s worth a DFA or likely a rookie pick.

    Lockhart. Hard at the footy.  Has the skills. Just needs the composure and we’ll have a very very good BP

    I wonder if being a 2 time premiership player will make us look at Jetta? He can play wing. We missed out on Isaac Smith he would be the next best thing for a year or 2.

    Jetta has lost the hunger, 2 flags ten years in the system, no more he can achieve.

    Mitch Cleary on AFL website has listed a full team of delisted free agents and given a walk through on most of the players.  Oscar is one of the more likely to get picked up. Though it’s likely most won’t get recycled and will roll back through state league or suburban footy or retire.  I think the Dees will go with a list of 43 and keep a rookie spot available for the summer training group SSP Opportunity.

    The Cleary article indicates that Toby Bedford is our only uncontracted player and that a few others who the club has yet to confirm, have in fact signed new contracts.

    i'm very confused with their thinking re bedford and chandler? do we know if chandler has been training/developing forward or back i hear mixed reports because if theyre both forwards why are we recontracting the one who didnt play a game and not the one who did or alternatively why did one play games if he isnt as worthy of a list spot going forward as the one who didnt. 

    it would make sense that Chandler is playing back with Hore, KK, nietschke injured this year long term and jetta seemingly falling off a cliff. we didnt have any real depth bar lockhart. would explain the harmes decision too a bit

    Believe Chandler was/has been played back. I think in one the hub videos Egan described him as a 'Rory Laird' type. 

    Happy that Chandler has been retained. I think he will might be ok.

    I can't see Bedford making it though so if he was delisted I would say fair enough.

    As Pulp says, Chandler did preseason with the backline but obv didn't play a lot of footy. He was also injured during a fair stretch of the 2020 preseason.

    Shane Savage just delisted. I’d take him ahead of a few on our list. Wouldn’t have bothered to sign up some of the depth players we kept on. Ah well!

    30 years old at the start of next season. Reckon you’d want to be taking a fairly special player at 30 years of age, which he is not.

    Here i am thinking we would be ruthless with our list changes at the end of the year.

    Guess I was wrong.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
