Delisting/Out of Contract Targets


DeeSpencer

Recommended Posts

I really like Mitch Wallis. 2020 might be too long ago now to use as an accurate form guide, but he had a great year and towelled us up on the Gold Coast. Excellent 1-on-1 and a deadeye in front of goal. From all reports a great guy to have around the club too.

I'd be surprised if we were interested in him as Melksham plays a very similar role and we're keeping him another year. But some food for thought...

Do we have anyone to who fits that category? Harmes and Gus are best 22 and I’m sure we investigated both going.

Bedford and Hunt, by choice or otherwise are doing exactly that.

Tomlinson is the obvious one and we’re clearly trying.

T Mc and Ben Brown I doubt we could move without significant dumping. Probably take 2nd round picks and/or paying significant amounts of their wages to find them new homes. Both still arguably best 22. 

You are kidding about Gus, who is an A grader with rare versatility and in top 5 of B and F. We are not Hawthorn moulding a Flag from a masters Mess!!

north are hoping for their extra rookie spots to add walker and turner back on i believe. JA and clarko havent got great history so his appointment and andersons contract expiring at the same time was bad timing for him. 

if anyone is suggesting we pick up tom cutler, then you clearly have never seen him play.

Agree with @FrothiesLiam that Josh Walker might be worth a go on the rookie list.

Personally I'm keen on Harry Boyd, but if he's gone before we have a chance to rookie list him, Josh Walker would be worth a punt.

A bit like Majak Daw, Walker can play ruck as well as key defence (where he's probably best) and key forward (was Brisbane's leading goal kicker in 2016).

Turns 30 next month, so could certainly do a couple of years on the rookie list and helps provide depth for us in an area of the ground we need some cover.

That being said, again I'd prefer Harry Boyd.

Collingwood have just delisted Caleb Poulter,  20yo kid from SA who played 11 games in his first season and looked like a great prospect. 

Not sure why he didn't get an opportunity at Collingwood maybe because they have a lot in that position,  would be a great pick up IMO, young has played at the AFL level and a wingman which is a area we are shallow in.

A “no” from me.  He showed great talent in under 18s with the only knock being “intensity” and defensive side of his game.   Poulter is a youngster that looked like he used his natural talents in under age footy to excel and his left foot delivery and range is excellent, but I’m not sure the limitations in his game can meet the demands in AFL. He is still young and will probably go back home and get rookied by Power or Crows or into the SANFL in ‘23.

We never should not consider some rejects from delisted Lists of the other 17 Clubs. 

We D/Lers do however look and post hopefully just like a hungry person would raid the rubbish bins all along your front nature strips. Touch of the real desperates!! 

Never stop trying.

"Never should not". I think that means we should. Double negatives do my head in, waste of words really.

I don't disagree.

Daw, Brown, Brown, Dunstan were all those type players.  in terms of Key position depth they are perfect, but only one or two.

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol
