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.

The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.

    • PREVIEW: Sydney

      The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
