To clarify, say we wanted to go with the 38 & 4 option, then yes we wouldn't need to create anymore room on the senior list, but we'd have to delist one of Daw, Mitch Brown, Deakyn Smith, Turner or Declase which seems unlikely.

I expect us to do as we did this season and what most clubs did and go with the 36 & 6 option. Meaning two more delistings to come from the senior list.

    I'm happy with this as well, though it means there was be some list decisions to come.

    At the end of this season we has a list of 45 (36 senior, 8 Cat A rookies and 1 Cat B rookie) that needed to be reduced to 42 (36 senior and 6 Cat A rookies).

    We've delisted 4 senior players, 1 Cat A rookie and the Cat B rookie. Opens up 4 senior list spots, but we were still 1 over the Cat A rookie allowance.

    With Jordon's promotion earlier in the year, plus this likely one for Chandler (if it's 2 years we have to promote him), then Dunstan's signing, it leaves us with 1 senior spot available and 1 Cat A rookie spot.

    So with the three picks we recently received in the trade, my guess is we'll be clearing at least two more spots.

    Hore, Bedford, Baker, Hibberd. Only two of these guys can survive the way I see things. 

    If that’s the case then it’s Hore and Bedford gone as there have been multiple reports of Baker and Hibberd close to finalising deals.

    Mitch Brown was renewed for another year wasn't he?

    Kade and all his friends have resigned. 

     

    Oskar Baker, Toby Bedford, Mitch Brown, Majak Daw, Deakyn Smith and Daniel Turner have all inked new deals which will see them remain in the Red and Blue for the upcoming season.

    Nobody wants to leave this club and who can blame them.

    We're probably getting off track in this thread but it's probably not looking great for Hore?

    No it's not. But great news for Chandler. Promotion to senior list. Well deserved!

    And Hibberd. Though media reports suggest he's about to get a new deal.

    Do we know for sure that Chandler’s been upgraded to the primary list, or are we assuming he is? In the article they released, it doesn’t really specify.

    We believe senior. Herald Sun and apparently trade radio have advised he was extended for 2 years which means like Jordon, he has to be upgraded.

    Cheers mate. It makes sense seeing Adelaide wanted him, in which we couldn’t have offered another rookie contract, surely.

    Melbourne List Manager Tim Lamb said it was fantastic to have had Chandler commit to the club.

    “Kade had genuine interest from other clubs and it’s pleasing that we have been able to re-sign him,” Lamb told Melbourne Media.

    “Not only is Kade a high-quality player, but he is also a great fit for our club culturally and is highly respected among the playing group.”

    Oskar Baker, Toby Bedford, Mitch Brown, Majak Daw, Deakyn Smith and Daniel Turner have all inked new deals which will see them remain in the Red and Blue for the upcoming season.

    We could keep Chandler on the rookie List and upgrade him at the end of the season, it could be 1 year on the rookie and 1 year on the main list

    Knocks back S.A offers. Fantastic turnaround from our earlier days when one of the Jarmans refused to play for Melbourne.

    Agreed.  That is effectively what we did with Jordan except that Jordan got 2 years on the main list.

    There is a fair chance Crows were offering him a main list spot, perhaps 2 years.  For him to reject that would suggest we offered something better, perhaps similar to Jordan:  1 rookie year, 2 senior years = 3 year contract.  

    I'm only guessing but that looks like a plausible reading of how things have panned out.

    Unfortunately players on the fringes have played very little football in the last 2 years and their development in heat of battle has not occured to Chandler Bedford Baker Jordan Laurie Rosman and Bowey, although Bowey through performances and injuries to Smith and Hunt was promoted and florished.

    Hopefully 2022 they can get time on the park at Casey and push for senior selection thru performances at the lower level.

    Training can only do so much in practice of your skills but when under pressure in a game this is the time that we can see whether the skills have improved or not.

    Smart move by both Kyle and the club, he'll get a decent crack at it in the next 2 years, if he decides to move on we get a guaranteed pick for him.

    Shrewd business by the Dees.

    Pretty sure it was Darren, he then went to Hawthorn in 1990 3 years after the Dees drafted him from North Adelaide Roosters.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
