Wonder of there's any legs in the Maynard rumour of a little while ago?

He would honestly be perfect. Hibbo is going again next year apparently and Maynard’s contract finishes next year…

Wonder if Maynard sticks with the pies and see how it goes next year then comes across if it’s terrible

    Lockhart stiff. Looked a lock for Round 1 until he got injured right before the season started, and then seemed to literally drop off the clubs map. Not many updates or mentions of him.

    Thank you to all, you will always be MFC people

    I was just thinking should he retire, if he does go on surely a one year contract. Will be a lot of competition for the backline next year when everyone is fit and firing.

    For Maynard, it'll be now or never I reckon.

    I believe Hibberd has signed a new 1yr contract.

    Lockhart.  Very unlucky. Deserved another year. 
     

    Vanders. Yes the pace of the game means he will struggle imo 

    Bradtke. Never got the chance due to covid reduced cancellation of VFL

    Nietschke.  Heartbreaking run of knee injuries. 
     

    Jonesy. Thank you. You are a legend. 
    Nev.  Your intensity and bravery will be remembered. 
     

    Question marks. Daw - I’d keep as Ruck depth if possible. Mitch Brown - probably will be delisted imv.

    He will definitely play a few games but I reckon by the end of next year he will be out of the team. That’s just my feeling though.

    Yeah this is just brutal so soon. Would take some shine off the celebrations. 
     

    Ruthless business.

    Surprised by Lockhart and Vanders being cut tbh; especially Lockhart as his role is not an area of particular depth on our list.

    I wonder if there’s a chance or a rookie spot if there’s no DFA takers..?

    Goody said on The Couch they have to finalize everything by Wednesday. Brutal but it is what it is.

    If you are being delisted, surely you would want to know sooner rather than later to maximise your chance of being picked up by another club.

    Yeah I saw that and was surprised you have to get it done so quick. 
    Even for the ones that didn’t play they’d be having an amazing time, what a thud back to earth.

    Would think vanders gets a gig somewhere, would be a good fit at the suns 

    Thats I think too now he is fit.  They need someone with high standards and aggression.

    A solid reminder that nothing in footy can be taken for granted. A good reminder for the players that it comes and goes in the blink of an eye. Like the Dog’s 19 point lead.

    Well said Samantha.

    Nev retires a Demon great, liked by all. Well done Nev.

    Enjoy your retirement and hopefully it sees you with a new role at the MFC.

    Love Nev, I hope he is offered a position at the Club! He has qualities that go far beyond the playing field.

    Enjoyed Vander's 'take no prisoners' attitude. Injury hampered his progress.

    Was also a Jay fan. He will surely find a new home.

    Feel for Bradke... I saw improvement as he filled out. A tall kid who could be picked up.

    Sad for Nietschke, never got the opportunity. 

    All of these blokes were severely compromised by the demise of the second tier competition.

    Best wishes to you all, gentlemen. Thank you for your contribution to our Club.

    Has Melksham been delisted as well? If so I hope he gets a gig somewhere else.

    Think he’s got another year to run, he may explore his options.

    No word on Mitch Brown.. Maybe he'll stay.

    Good depth to come in as a role player for 2 goals a game if needed. But hopefully not needed as that would mean Weid is struggling.

    I always thought Lockhart was going to make it. Rivers, Hunt and Bowey have all ended up being superior small defenders though.

    Always loved vandenBerg's spirit, but as a club we have developed to a point where players need more than vandenBerg's aggression to get a gig in the 22.

    Anyone thinking Gold Coast would need him should take off the rose coloured glasses.

    Good, honest tryer, but pretty limited now that the game is speeding up

    I must say I am quite surprised the amount of delistings. 

    It looks like Jones and Nev have retired. 

    VDB & melksham will be traded for token picks if they find homes.

    Plus the three delistings. 

    That's 7 list spots to fill with 3 picks all above 33.

    Is that actually the case though? Bradtke was a category B rookie, so I don't think takes a spot on the list. Nietschke was also only a rookie.

    And given that Turner and Declase came in as injury replacements, I'm assuming that we had more players on our list than we would be allowed when Hore & Tomlinson come back off the LTI list. Plus we need to create room for Jordon to go back on the senior list.

    I wouldn't be surprised to see more delistings before the first list lodgement date.

    • 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?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

    • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
