Listen cobber if Goodwin and the FD don't think the game and and the list( too slow too small too few skilled kickers) is ok and they just need to change "ins " for "outs" and not remedy some of the above defects with players who are ready to go ,then he wasn't watching the top four in the finals.

 

The "dynasty " is now off the pace  and likely  fighting for their hold on the finals  not just the double chance and with Clubs building behind them

Stubborn narrow mind will get found out in a changing game.

One winter of cloudless skies then .... poof it's a deluge!!

From Prelim in '18 to rock bottom in 19 and then a flag in 21. Goody has enough credit points clearly to remain at the helm

He had to adapt before we won the flag. And he did. 

He knows now he'll have to do it again and he will. 

Have faith. 

 

Thanks again LH great effort keeping up with Tim Lamb & Co what a superb effort, we started out with LJ and a glad bag of picks and ended up with Grundy, Hunter and Schache, picks 13 & 37 and 2 first rounders and 2 second rounders for 2023. Brilliant effort.❤️💙🤘💕

Post Trade Week

A lot to unpack there.

Some contract info still to come and those players are in the boxes shaded 'orange'.  I think we will lose Baker as we are getting tight for senior spots.  Based on the current mix we have one spot left unless we go in with more senior players next year.

Updated for the departure of Sam Weideman and the arrival of Grundy, Schache and Hunter.

I've included the Draft picks for 2022/23.  We have a very nice little pot to play with:  13, 37.  Freo F1, F2 and our own F1, F2. 

Amazing to get the calibre of players we have for late draft picks and the loss of loyal servants who deserve to chase opportunities elsewhere:  Bedford, Hunt and Weideman.  And of course there is the wantaway ruckman! 

On balance we have greatly improved our list.

Interesting they have been coy on the contract length for Hunter and Schache.

Looking at our 2023 OOC list it's easy to see why we've kept Melksham, Hibberd and potentially Baker for another year. Outside of Dunstan most, if not all, of these players we will want to re-sign.

 

i'd imagine we made Hunters existing 2 years a 3year deal and schache got 2, but thats pure speculation, hunter could also be 4yrs taking him to 31yo

early look at next year puts Hibbo and Melky probably low on priorities, Jordon could be the one who looks elsewhere for opportunities, WCE could target rivers for the hurn position however i think he will stay and dunstan and chandler will be the last to get signed up. McVee and DeakSmith need to show something more deak will be at the end of his 3yr maximum rookie stay as well

So post trade, and with the inclusion of Chandler moving to primary list, signing Melk and Hibbo and using an additional 2 picks in the draft, am I correct in assuming our options are:

- If we DONT delist Baker, we have 1 additional spot available on primary for a DFA + 1 rookie spot.  (noting of we dont use the additional primary spot we can have 2 rookie spots)

- If we delist Baker, we have up to 2 spots to use for DFA if suitable and depending on how many primary spots we fill (if any more at all) we can add between 1 and 3 rookie spots?

Updated for Baker's delisting.

Assuming the existing list mix of the list:  36 senior, 6 A-Rookies we have 2 senior spots and 3 A-Rookie list spots available.  That mix can change as outline in the chart (bottom left corner).

Given we plan to take two picks in the draft any DFA we recruit would come in as an A-Rookie.

The number of games will be updated with the final version after the draft.

Edit:  Updated Oct 15 for Hunter (2 years) and Schache (one) contract length as per 'Footywire'.

Updated for the recruitment of Kyah Farris-White as a B Rookie so we no longer have a B Rookie spot available.  A one year contract has been assumed.

This makes our drafting of Finn Emile-Brennan interesting as we no longer have a B rookie spot.

So do we think he will go around pick 37 or do we not intend to take.  Of course we could swap in a late pick.

Yes it is a long contract for a player of his ilk. At least when, the 12 times a game, he has the ball you know it will be used constructively. As you pointed out he is probably on minimal dollars.
Im more concerned with 4 more years of Salem on what would be considerable more of salary cap pie. 

Why does Demonland hate players who can kick

i think he will go through the draft undrafted, so maybe we think we can pick him up as an A rookie then?

Correct. If he makes it through the National draft unpicked, he can go straight onto the rookie list as a category A player. Or Melbourne could upgrade Moniz-Wakefield and then FEB could fill his cat B position.

Is it possible to post their list of player 'contract status'?

I assume the the article is about sal cap space?  If so many of our more highly paid players: May, Lever, Gawn, Viney, Brown, Mc Donald, Tomlinson come out of contract in the next 1 - 3 years and will then be on a lot less (or retired) leaving sufficient room for the up and coming players.  I have little doubt it has all been factored in by the club.  There is no way we will have the Coll sal cap problem.

If the article is talking about breaking into the best 22 then yeah for the next year or two it will be a challenge especially for the small to medium players.

He's was out of contract I believe.

Based on the list that @Demonlandpublished above Tomlinson is now shown as OOC in 2024.

I searched for Schache's contract status at the Bulldogs and it seems he was OOC in 2022 so we have given him a one year contract.  josh-schache-contract-western-bulldogs-forward-signs-new-deal

I will update the number of games played when I do the final version for this year after the draft.

 

Thanks LH terrific effort, can’t wait to see Kozzie sign on.👌

  • NON-MFC: Round 07

    Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.
