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!

    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.”

    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

    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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
