Thank you.

If Hibberd doesn't play much this year he may struggle to get a new contract.  Agree with others but the club may want to keep options open and offer 1 year in some cases.   I would probably put Jordon up there on priority signing especially as he is an RFA this year (due to being delisted then rookied last year) and depending on how he plays I would like to see Weideman continue with us but right now he wouldn't be a top priority.

definitely not an RFA, he's just a FA so no ability to match but can't see him wanting to go anywhere or any clubs really throwing any more coin at him than we'll offer as he's a pretty bog standard next tier midfielder which every club would have developing on their list already, i'd still expect an upgrade to the senior list tho

I meant FA as inferred by the description.

Updated for my Equal #1 favourite player:  Christian Salem.

5 year contract.  A demon until 2026.:cool:

My top 3 signings for this year:  Oliver, Gawn and Salem are all wrapped up!

Next lot:

  • Luke Jackson:  sign in 2021 to extend beyond next year - will cut out any noise of him returning to WA next year.
  • Sam Weideman:  see if he can earn a new contract.
  • Christian Petracca:  Not too worried about him now that Oliver and Salem have signed but would like him to sign sooner rather than later to forgo Free Agency and stop the nonsense that he is going to Collingwood.
  • Angus Brayshaw: also  OOC and FA next year - not sure where he sits in the pecking order but would love to see him stay a demon.

Hey, why would any of our players want to leave!

Thanks LH you are super quick. Great work!!!


I'm really rapt with how this all sits.

Having Gawn, Oliver, Viney, Lever, May, Salem, Langdon, B Brown, Pickett, Rivers and Tomlinson all signed up to at least the end of 2023 is really good work IMO. 

Now to work on Petracca, Fritsch and Jackson. 

The 2022 out-of-contract list is an interesting one. I don't really want to lose any of them on current form and in my view only Melksham and McDonald are at risk due to age and fluctuations in form. Both could easily earn contracts beyond then however. I wouldn't be surprised to see a few one year contracts given to fringe players to have a delisting buffer for next year.

We are heading for a time of great list stability and as you say some 1 year contracts to a many of 2021 OOC players.  The ones that a likely to miss out are those with a history of injuries:  Hore, J. Smith, AvB; Nietschke or time to retire:  Jetta and Jones (even tho it will be sad to see them go)..  That is 6 changes without too much thought.  Baker, M. Brown, Daw may not get another go.  Just those changes will make our list stronger and then there are trades.

Thanks LH great effort, very efficient.!!

Better get him on the List LH just announced he is ours until 2029...!!!!! Waaaaaaahoooooooo.....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Only 1 real priority to sign now is Weiderman. 

which is a hard one to claim as a priority when we can't even get him into the senior team. But I agree I see him as a priority signing for the club's future. Would be nice to sign at least one of Bedford or Chandler by the end of the year too. I think both have a future at the club, and will play a role this year given the chance!

Well done Christian! 

All I can say is WOW!

 

Top effort LH and yes Wow indeed, must have been very satisfying to ink him in.!!!!!

luci, could i suggest you have a chat with mods such that when you update your excellent chart that the chart at the start of page 1 also gets updated (much like the membership thread). Makes it easier to quickly find the latest chart

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?

Yes, easy to copy into a new post at the end of a thread.

But I do not have access rights to 'edit' the first post or insert the latest table at the start of the thread.

i understand that.....that's why i said you'd need the mods to give you access rights or some other solution

Four long term chronic injury players could be delisted at seasons end. A few others Hibberd and ANB likely to be re-signed 

Melbourne have managed their list well.

  • REPORT: Adelaide

    The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

  • CASEY: Coburg

    The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

  • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

    After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
