Demonland has its share of posters who appear to be list experts after the fact. I think it's time for people to show their skills beforehand. I'd like people to predict who will no longer be on our list at this time in 2022. In effect, who' going to retire, be traded, take  free agency option or be delisted. Here's your chance to show the rest of us your predictive skills. I'm not asking for justification, nor am I seeking a wish list of who you might like to see moved on. Here's my prediction of who won't be on our list as at January 2022:

  • Nathan Jones (ret)
  • Neville Jetta (ret)
  • Michael Hibberd (ret)
  • Kade Chandler (delisted)
  • Austin Bradtke (delisted)
  • Aaron Nietschke (delisted)
  • Jayden Hunt (traded at his request)
  • Oskar Baker (traded)
  • Mitch Brown (ret/delisted)

I understand this thread is a future source of reference for the hindsight police, but I’m not writing off players before the season has even begun. Especially the younger ones that should be encouraged.

That's exactly what it's for. (And a bit of fun, to boot.)


I’m not going to speculate on trades of contracted players, there’s too many variables. Who’s going to want T Mc, Gus or Hunt?

I do think Jones, Jetta, Hibberd, Vanders and Mitch Brown all retire.

If that’s the case we might have to keep a majority of the younger guys. 

Smith, Lockhart, Hore, Baker, Bedford, Chandler, ANB, Nietschke, Bradtke, Jordon all on one year deals.

I’ll say Smith, Lockhart, Hore, Chandler, ANB, Nietschke, Bradtke stay on. Baker, Bedford, Jordon don’t.

traded:

  • angus brayshaw

I've had that feeling since 2019 that he might want a fresh start.

Another say-so season and he'll be traded for sure IMO.

 

@La Dee-vina Comedia I agree with your list, however I don't believe Baker finds a new home and am doubtful Hunt does either.

Also think we are in serious danger of losing Clayton should we not become serious finals contenders this year. For everyone's sake, I hope this is the year where it clicks

  • Nathan Jones (ret)
  • Neville Jetta (ret)
  • Michael Hibberd (ret)
  • Kade Chandler (delisted)
  • Austin Bradtke (delisted)
  • Aaron Nietschke (delisted)
  • Jayden Hunt (delisted/traded)
  • Oskar Baker (delisted)
  • Mitch Brown (ret/delisted)

I can't understand the hatred towards Baker he looked good at the end of the year.


Not sure how anyone could have any real reasonings or predictions on delisting or players to be moved on when the 2021 season is still to play out....

Two poster reckon AVB will be delisted?

tell em they’re dreamin!

T Mac will be traded

Hunt will also be traded out

Think there is 2-3 blokes that go past him in 2021, the longer quarters will go against him and he doesn't win enough ball

You can't afford to have someone in your starting 22 who is purely there to be physical and give away free kicks

doesnt push ahead of Oliver/Viney/Brayshaw/Harmes/Trac in our starting side and you'd think sparrow/jordon will get opportunities ahead of him too and jones to get to 300. doesn't really do enough anywhere else on the ground to justify selection when we are already heavy on bullocking tacklers who can't kick

Very close I would think though...

I have a hope (not a great one) that we can get another year (2022) out of Hibberd

Brayshaw is a conundrum

TMac will hopefully be traded (the only reason he wont be traded is because he has another bad year or he pushes out one of the other talls which would be another problem in itself)

Baker and Hunt.. no real feel but more likely Hunt goes (did we give him 2 years... not sure why)

On the delists... we haven't really seen much of any of them and therefore seems harsh but that's AFL level footy

Ok, I'm here :)

Nathan Jones (Ret): I think this is almost a guarantee.
Toby Bedford (Delisted): He's had his time to earn a spot and hasn't taken it.
T.McDonald (Delist or trade): Going by how hard we tried to trade him I think he will be gone. Needs to kick 35-40 goals to keep his spot on the list. 
J.Jordan (Delist): Too slow.
S.Goodwin: Sacked before round 8. 
N.Jetta (trade): Trade for a late pick. 
A.Bradtke (Delist)
Baker: Staying on. We're one of the slowest teams in the comp. You don't trade your quickest players when you're as slow as us. Neale-Bullen (traded to a SA team)
Neitschke (Delist and rookied)

Count yourselves lucky
Hore, Hibberd, Vandenberg, Neal-Bullen to stay on for one more.

why would we delist neitschke and re-rookie again? he can just remain as a rookie for another 2 years now that he's on that list.

also that means ur confident in jsmith and mbrown getting new deals im intrigued please tell us more xx

Yeah I rate Joel Smith. I don't understand people's criticism of him.

And yeah correction. Mitch Brown (delisted).

If Bedford, T-Mac and Jordan aren’t getting games for us, they are not getting games elsewhere

You do realise that T-mac had interest in the last trade period? 

Also,  I said Bedford and Jordan were to be delisted so I don't know what you were looking at.

So that's it from the self- proclaimed great sooth-sayer?

  • Jones to retire - oh boy wowee!
  • TMac to be traded - yeah great revelation!
  • Jetta traded - or will that be retired
  • Bedford a 2 gamer to be delisted
  • Jordon and Bradtke who haven't played a game to be delisted
  • M.Brown a fringe depth rookie to be delisted
  • Goodwin to be sacked R8

Way to go out on a limb with some radical unthought of predictions!

This poster has claimed that he is a list management expert who can see things that others cannot see.  I am simply calling him on his claim.

  • NON-MFC: Round 15

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
