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.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
