Surely Mason Wood gets another go somewhere.

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

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. 

 

if i asked who would u prefer as a rookie jay lockhart or derek eggmolesse-smith who would u all 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.


Any interest in Oscar McDonald delisted by Melbourne - could be handy KPD depth?

Binman would be interested.

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.

  • NON-MFC: Round 07

    Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

  • PREGAME: Richmond

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
