I can see us offloading Angus Brayshaw at the end of the season.  I think with Jordon and Sparrow plus the young blokes we drafted in 2020 will give the club confidence that if a first round pick was offered for Brayshaw you would take it.  I also think he will be looking for out, he isn't a wing and will want more time in the centre square.

    IMO it looks as though Jones, Jetta, Baker and AVB will be on the chopping block or traded come seasons end. I'd imagine Chandler and Bradtke will be elevated to the Senior list. Joel Smith, Hore and Neitschke are rated well among the coaching panel, so they may get another chance.

    Good idea.  'George' is a mod so he is able to edit and update the membership thread.

    The chart is an embedded image so it would be difficult to update and keep the formatting.

    An option might be for me to have open ended 'edit' facility for this thread but perhaps not technically possible and I copy the latest to the start of the thread.

    Or the mods may find a way to copy and 'lock' the latest version to the start of the thread. 

    I would like to also keep the updates in the body of the thread so the on-going dialogue makes sense, especially to infrequent readers.

     

    @Demonlandwhat do you think the options might be?

    Done.

    See first post in the thread and let me know if that is what you wanted?

    Just remind me to update whenever you have a new list.

    Thanks Andy.  That is fine.  A good suggestion by @daisycutteras having the latest and the original chart shows the changes for the year at a glance

    I will 'report' any post I make with a new chart.

    I thought the same for a while but I feel like the way the players and coaches talk, Brayshaw won't be going anywhere.  I think they've asked him to play a specific role and he is doing it.  If he wasn't happy or the club wasn't happy there would have been opportunities at the end of last year.  The only way I see this changing is if they are forced to play TMac further up the ground (eg the wing) when Jacko comes back and Brayshaw loses his spot.  It's not inconceivable given TMac got many of his possessions in the back half last week.  Although I expect they would want to do this sooner than later if they do it at all.

    The coach is as big a fan of Gus as he is of Melksham. Within the walls of the club, he is being praised for the selfless role he is playing, not to mention that he's a highly popular figure amongst his team mates.

    That is great but when you look at our list he is one player that would have some trade value and we have others developing that could fill his current role in 2022.  We would be spending to keep a number of players the better you get the harder it is to manage salary cap, I don't think we will be able to keep him when he becomes a RFA.

    Update for Alex Neal Bullen's two year contract extension.

    image.png.f765db3f053949c3e27d7829561f0d5e.png

    Given how well Hibberd is playing he would be good for another 1 year contract.  Goodwin is pretty confident Weideman will stay with the club.

    Well done to the contracting team for signing up so many OOC players early in the season and for bringing forward other contract renewals.

    Club website says:  "Joining the club as rookies, the duo will provide instant depth to Melbourne’s backline stocks, while also looking to impress at training and secure their position beyond 2021".

    I have them as 6 month contracts.

    Updated for Turner and Declase, our mid season rookies contracted for 6 months.  They are replacements for our LTI players Tomlinson and Nietschke.

    Also updated the Free Agency status of affected players.

    Dr Drake 
    Your prediction is based on your own assumption thst Angus is set yo play as a winger for the rest of his career.

    He has embraced his move snd team role as a professional athlete should.

    And  guess what if he happens to be on that Dias in September with a medal  around his neck your prediction will go out the window.

    I would say that he is fulfilling a team role of extreme importance where necessary but this won't necessarily be a career long move as we have Rosman  and now Kye Declese in the wings.

    So who else is trade bait you can move on in your Fantasy list management?

    My assumption is based around a player that could have value at the trade table that we can cover with other players on our list.

    We have locked away Petracca, Viney, Oliver, Harmes add in Jordon all till at least 2023 these are the guys keeping Brayshaw out of the centre square and you are right the club is still searching for another wing.

    Will this happen no idea but if the club is looking to get early picks he is a player that can get this and as mentioned we have players that can cover his role.

    So what other players or positions do you think we should look at trading Gus for Dr? A/B graders from other Club OR get say high 2nd rounder for  Gus or even a very low 1st if possible.?

    You are looking for at least a top 12 pick and I would take this to the draft.

    Thanks L H top effort, our List is now complete and I personally feel relieved as Declase and Turner now cover all our potential weaknesses .

    Go Dee’s in J T we trust....!!!!

    IMO, at the end of the season we'll be saying goodbye to Bradtke, Neitschke, Mitch Brown, Jones, Jetta, Baker, Vandenberg and one of Hore or Joel Smith.  Chandler joins Jordon as a promoted rookie.

    That would leave us three senior list spots and two rookie list spots for the 2022 season. Gives us the flexibility to bring in someone via trade or free agency if need be, but otherwise we can just go to the draft.

    Won't get straight out a12 first rounder unless Gus is the Norm Smith Medallist.!!

    Another small nitpick LH, but (unless I am missing something???) I make it 45 total - 37 senior, 5 'A', 1 'B', 2 MSR


    Love your work and thanks!  ?

    fair to say jsmith wasnt the resigning i was expecting at all let alone 4 weeks before the end of the season especially as he was one of the last to get a deal last season when we were tossing up he or OMac. must be playing for a packet of chips/part of his dads compo. particularly with the versatile declase and developing tall turner on board now but oh well fair play to him must be doing something right

    Update for J. Smith one year extension,

    As the club is in list management mode, I wouldn't be surprised to see a flurry of contract renewals in the next month or so.

    Hopefully, some of the 2022 OOC players sign early extensions especially Jackson and Petty.

    • NON-MFC: Round 10

      The Sir Doug Nicholls Round kicks off in Darwin with a Top 4 clash between the Suns and the Hawks. On Friday night the Swans will be seeking to rebound from a challenging start to the season, while the Blues have the Top 8 in their sights after their sluggish start. Saturdays matches kick off with a blockbuster between the Collingwood and Kuwarna with the Magpies looking to maintain their strong form and the Crows aiming to make a statement on the road. The Power face a difficult task to revive their season against a resilient Cats side looking to make amends for their narrow loss last week. The Giants aim to reinforce their top-eight status, while the Dockers will be looking to break the travel hoodoo. The sole Saturday game is a critical matchup for both teams, as the Bulldogs strive to cemet their spot in the top six and the Bombers desperately want break into the 8. Sundays start with a bottom 3 clash between the Tigers and Kangaroos with both teams wanting to avoid the being in wooden spoon contention. The Round concludes with the Eagles still searching for their first win of the season, while the Saints look to keep their finals hopes alive with a crucial away victory. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Brisbane

      And just like that, we’re Narrm again. Even though the annual AFL Sir Doug Nicholls Round which commemorates the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture to our game has been a welcome addition to our calendar for ten years, more lately it has been a portent of tough times ahead for we beleaguered Narrm supporters. Ever since the club broke through for its historic 2021 premiership, this has become a troubling time of the year for the club. For example, it all began when Melbourne rebranded itself as Narrm across the two rounds of the Sir Doug Nicholls Round to become the first club to adopt an Indigenous club name especially for the occasion. It won its first outing under the brand against lowly North Melbourne to go to 10 wins and no losses but not without a struggle or a major injury to  star winger Ed Langdon who broke his ribs and missed several weeks. In the following week, still as Narrm, the team’s 17 game winning streak came to an end at the hands of the Dockers. That came along with more injuries, a plague that remained with them for the remainder of the season until, beset by injuries, the Dees were eliminated from the finals in straight sets. It was even worse last year, when Narrm inexplicably lowered its colours in Perth to the Waalit Marawar Eagles. Oh, the shame of it all! At least this year, if there is a corner to turn around, it has to be in the direction of something better. To that end, I produced a special pre-game chant in the local Narrm language - “nam mi:wi winnamun katjil prolin ambi ngamar thamelin amb” which roughly translated is “every heart beats true for the red and the blue.” >y belief is that if all of the Narrm faithful recite it long enough, then it might prove to be the only way to beat the Brisbane Lions at the Gabba on Sunday. The Lions are coming off a disappointing draw at Marvel Stadium against a North Melbourne team that lacks the ability and know how to win games (except when playing Melbourne). Brisbane are, however, a different kettle of fish at home and have very few positional weaknesses. They are a midfield powerhouse, strong in defence and have plenty of forward options, particularly their small and medium sized players, to kick a winning score this week after the sting of last week’s below par performance.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?
