No 45 is No 27 Aaron Neitschke 0 games and 0 goals. Done his knee at the start of the year, this is the 3rd time he's done it. Highly unlikely that he will be on the list next year.

No 44 is No 21 Marty Hore 0 games and 0 goals. Done his knee at the start of the year.

No 43 is No 46 Austin Bradtke 0 Games and 0 Goals. Unfortunately couldn't cut as a ruckman in the VFL so was moved to CHB where he had limited success against Hogan and Buzza at VFL level. It will be touch and go whether or not he will get a contract for next season.

No 42 is No 42 Daniel Turner 0 games and 0 goals. He was a mid season rookie looked good at full back until covid hit ruining the last half of the VFL season.

  • Author

No 41 is No 40 Kye Declase 0 games and 0 goals. Another mid season rookie who showed promising signs on the wing until covid hit.


  • Author

No 40 is No 16 Bailey Laurie 0 games 0 goals. Injured with a fractured eye socket and then a shoulder injury which ruined his VFL season before it could get going.

  • Author

No 39 is No 19 Fraser Rosman. 0 games and 0 goals. Very raw prospect who spent most of his time at VFL level on the wing.

  • Author

No 38 is No 34 Deakyn Smith. 0 games 0 goals. Progressed nicely at half back and in the back pocket. A big pre season awaits.

No 37 is No 28 Majak Daw 0 games and 0 goals. Came to the club barely fit fitted in nicely into the ruck spot. Needs a big pre season.

  • Author

No 36 is No 12 Toby Bedford 0 games and 0 goals. Honed his craft as a small forward at VFL level.

No 35 is No 41 Jay Lockhart 0 games and 0 goals. Stagnated in the VFL in the back pocket.

  • Author

No 34 is No 38 Mitch Brown 1 game 2 goals. Injured his ankle at VFL level a handy back up for Fritsch at AFL level. Hard to see him getting another contract due to his age. 

  • Author

No 33 is No 33 Oskar Baker 3 games 0 goals. Spent most of the time at VFL level on the wing. It will be touch and go whether he gets another contract.

No 32 is No 22 Aaron vandenBerg 4 games 0 goals. Spent most of his time in the VFL through the middle on the ground. Will be touch and go on whether he gets another contract or not.

You’ve done good with this, Werridee.

No 31 is Kade Chandler 5 games 0 goals. Spent most of the time at VFL level as a forward pocket. Will be touch and go on whether he gets another contract.

  • Author

No 30 is No 39 Neville Jetta 5 games 0 goals. Heart and soul of the club. Couldn't break into a strong backline and spent most of the time in the VFL in a position he's made his own the back pocket.

  • Author

No 29 is No 26 Sam Weideman 5 games 3 goals. Really disappointing season from the Weid. Broke his leg in the pre season and never really recovered Ben Brown has taken his place. Must be on the trade table.

  • Author

No 28 is No 20 Adam Tomlinson 7 games 0 goals. Switched to CHB after under performing on the wing and it paid dividends as he was a rock down back but unfortunately done his knee which ruined his season.

  • Author

No 27 is No 2 Nathan Jones 8 games 2 goals. Heat and soul of the club. Got carried to 300 games but it was well deserved. Unfortunately he won't be getting a fairy tale premiership medal but he will always be in our hearts as a fan favorite.

I'll do the rest after the Grand Final. The 22 will be the 22 out on grand final day and 23 will be the medi sub 24 to 26 will be the emergencies which will more likely be Hunt, J.Smith and Melksham.

Rather than carried I would have preferred escorted, supported, or path cleared to 300 games

So out of this list, Jones retires; Weid possibly traded and question marks over Neita, Bradtke, M Brown, Baker, AVB and Chandler.

That would be 8 changes in all. I don't think we've got the trade/draft currency for that many changes. Maybe 4-5 in all I'd reckon. Jones now retired, Jetta may retire as well.  So I'd think that there may be three from the list above to leave the club. Maybe Neita, Bradtke and one of AVB or M Brown (assuming Weid stays). I think Baker and Chandler will have belting pre-seasons coming up,  having experienced this finals series and wanting to be a part of the next one, I can't see we'd trade either.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
