Its a little confusing. 3 rookies were delisted and i rookie Jordan upgraded to the primary list. Does that mean 4 rookie s[pots available???

5 players off the Primary list and 3 drafted on, Jordan upgraded and Dunstan recruited.

Bradke delisted as Cat B.

I cant keep up with it all either. There are certain rules around how many you can have on your primary list dictates how many rookies you can have. 

It used to be easy as the rookie list was separate on the Demons official website. I got this from footywire.

Rookies - Kade Chandler, Majak Daw, Deakyn Smith, Daniel Turner.

No idea if that is right... where is Kye Declase?

    We have taken Judd McVee

    183cm 68kg.

    East Fremantle prospect Judd McVee is a smooth-moving defender with clean handling and skills, traits which may bode for more midfield minutes in the future.

    (other reports ive read say he is a goal kicker. so no idea bout his position yet)

    Judd McVee

    East Fremantle, WAFL / Geraldton FC
    State: Western Australia
    Height: 183cm
    Weight: 72kg
    Date of Birth: 07/08/03

    Medium midfielder who can also play across half-back and use his elite kicking skills to set up the play. All-Australian at Under-16s level in 2019, he has a high footy IQ and is very creative with his vision and clean hands. Has similar traits to Essendon star Darcy Parish in the way he hunts the footy around stoppages and was a good performer at Under-18s level in the WAFL, averaging 14.9 disposals in 12 matches. Represented Western Australia at Under-19s level in two matches this year as he continued his development.

    A sensible and logical choice in drafting a small defender given we delisted Jetta, Lockhart and Hore and were a little light on in that area as I previously mentioned earlier in this thread. McVee looks to be from the same club as Woewodin, so our scouts must of liked what they saw from him while focusing on Woey Jnr.

    Looked at his WAFL profile and saw he's listed at 195cm tall. bit short for a ruck?

    Not sure Sprigg has stopped growing and could be wrong but think he’ll be around the 200+ range now.  Watched him playing for Wesley College, shot up a fair bit in the last 12/18 months. Was the dominant ruckman in PSA this season, with good skills for a big man. Has nice soft hands at the tap and a nice bit of mongrel.

    Having said all that I believe he may be being highly sought after the WACA and cricket Australia as a fast bowler

    Bad luck for Lockhart, was mentioned in the paper GWS might pick him up

    No Senior or A Rookie spots left.

    For those above not too sure of the numbers, this thread (pinned at the top of he main forum) might help.

    Hopefully they have a list spot and will let him train over summer. Fingers crossed.

    because we had 2 MSD selections to replace LTIs we had to shed 2 extra players off our rookie list in total, so in Nietschke and declase we did that and that had us level with where we were at pre season last year then the jordon upgrade gave us the spot to take Mcvee today. AMW replaces bradtke but we could've kept him on if we'd wanted to as we can have 2B rookies regardless of the rest of our lists make up and we only have 1

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • 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.
