Great result. 

Happy to see us fight off competition for Chandler and the others can play roles if their development continues and they are needed.

Melbourne has re-signed seven players ahead of the 2022 season

So does that just leave Declase unsigned?

With Jones, Vanders, Jetta and Lockhart off the main list and Nietsche and Bradke off the rookies we will use 3 draft picks at this stage with Dunstan coming in and potentially two rookies? Is that right?

  • deejammin' changed the title to Re-signing Frenzy!!! Chandler, Daw, Bedford, Baker, Smith and Turner ink new deals for 2022!

I wondering who is left and how many picks we need to use

I think you have to take min three to use in the draft?


min 3 to draft but that can include upgraded rookies.  so presuming JJ and Chandler are upgraded then only need 1 pick.

It appears Hore, Hibberd and Declase are the ony ones I have not seen a formal announcement regarding their contract.

I could not be more impressed with our list management over the last 5-6 years

And it continues to be excellent - all seven players are terrific signings.

The seven are: Chandler, Oskar Baker, Toby Bedford, Mitch Brown, Majak Daw, Deakyn Smith and Daniel Turner. 

Arguably, if our injuries are not too bad, only Chandler, Bedford are serious chance at regular senior selection. But all are solid citizens and contribute to the one club mentality. 

Note: i reckon turner might be a smokey for senior section. Seems a natural footballer, has good hands and i could see him slot into the back half as KPD. Declease is not in that seven , but i think he also could be an outside of chance of cracking senior selection

I thought they gave Hibbert another year

assume he'd be deserving of his own announcement given he's a premiership player now!

Interested to hear the lengths of those various extensions.

The one that surprises me is Baker. I really thought he would get some solid interest from another club where he was closer to a senior run.

Mirrors perhaps the tightness of the various salary caps etc and no one willing to punt on future rises in the cap.

Best of luck to them all. If Casey ever gets onto the field we will certainly have a competitive team.

Hore is on the main list. 

Doing some reading on the excellent Demonland list management thread it looks like you’re right. Although there are several reports of Hibbo getting another year, I can’t find the actual announcement. 
It seems we have Declase as the only rookie not extended, and Hore waiting on his fate. 
As you say we need to upgrade Chandler and JJ which leaves us with only one pick to use (17) but possibly with Hore going we could draft another (if he’s on the main list?)?

if we keep Hibbo and Hore, the only way we can use all 3 picks is if 1 Rookie goes.  Declase is the only one left.

Perplexed that Baker was re-signed to be honest and not Lockhart.

Bloke is trending towards Jake Spencer.

At the moment with JJ and Chandler to be elevated we have 4 A rookies, 5 if we retain Declase. So 1 free main list spot (pick 17 atm) 1 Free A rookie spot, and both our category B rookie spots. So if Hore goes we can draft two players in addition to using two picks to upgrade Chandler and Jordan. 
It might be an anxious wait for young Marty as it could come down to who Taylor and co think we can get at 37.

I thought Lockhart was mighty stiff. Was best 22 until the [censored] incident in the pre-season against the doggies. I guess with Bowey going past him and Hunt ahead of him all year that’s why he had to go? Is there any chance we use our one free rookie spot to re-rookie Jay? 
Baker was ordinary against North in his one AFL game this year, but I’ll back our development crew in, he’s behind a few blokes but if he becomes a quality winger it’s still one of the very few areas we’re a bit shallow.


Marty Hore has not played a game in 2 seasons so his chances have come down to his training form in his rehab group, I think the chances of a contract has decreased due to the tightness of the places available. 

I hope we keep Declase

How many list spots do we have on our list now?

Assuming Hibbo has re-signed as reported we have:

2 main list spots, 1 if we recontract Hore

2 A Rookie spots, One if we re-rookie Declase

2 B Rookie spots

It’s worth noting though because the total list size between your main list and cat A rookies can’t exceed 42 (+ 2 cat B rookies for 44) we can EITHER put two players on our main list or draft one main list and one rookie.

We can’t fill all four positions.

Just to clarify we currently have 36 on our main list (including Chandler and JJ’s upgrades), we can go to 38.

We have four rookies in cat A (MBrown, Daw, Smith, Turner) so we could in theory go to 6, but only if we keep our main list to 36.

Stoked!  Big fan of Chandler!

I’m with you. 

Could be an exciting player if he gets an opportunity.

  • 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.

    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.
