The real benefit of them retiring would be any cap relief.

I believe the number of players expected to be drafted this year is only around 50-55 and I thought there was some flexibility in the number of players on the Senior List or Rookie List.

We can push our picks into 2024 or consolidate them to go up the draft board with the Suns or Dogs.

Kynan Brown may be one of our draftees or rookies if good enough.

Harmes could leave.

I expect that Melksham will go to the Rookie List.

 

Kynan Brown will be a Demon.

Harmes will leave.

    I think we will have enough list spots. And why would TMac or Brown not want the $500k?

    @Redleg covered it pretty comprehensively. Us lesser mortals need to take into consideration that the demands of pre-season conditioning are pretty daunting; especially so if your body is letting you down. Calling time on your career could be the sensible option, there would still be some form of financial compensation.

    Apparently Rhys "Beastmode" Mathieson is leaving the Brisbane Lions due to lack of opportunities.

    Is he worth a punt?

    I know he is quite an annoying and obnoxious bugger when he has played against the Demons. But he could be ideal midfield depth perhaps?

    Does anyone have an update on list spots?

    By my calcs so far it is probable that:

    Out - D Smith, M Hibberd, B Grundy, J Jordon, L Dunstan & J Harmes

    In - S McAdam, T Fullarton

    Leaves 4 spots with the potential to upgrade Daniel Turner from the rookie list?

    @Lucifers Hero has a pinned contract thread on one of the boards that has a good summary.

    I believe D Turner has a contract that gaurentees promotion to the senior list for next season. The other question mark is if Melksham stays on the senior list or moved to the Rookie list. Either way he can be placed on the inactive list and free up another list spot I believe.

     

    The Contract thread is pinned at the top of the Demons Forum

    Link to the thread itself:

    The latest is discussed toward the end of the thread.

    I also put the latest at the top of page 1 of the thread for easy reference.

    Has dominated VFL for years, and is at the same level as a Dunstan.  Good coverage.

    The good players will come from the draft but they need these types around them too

    I think if the club is talking about the importance of a good culture ad nauseam, on that criteria alone Mathieson would be ruled out. We have Viney to make opposition lives miserable.

    I don't want McAdam because I don't think he is any good.  Mathison has shown at VFL level he is.

    And had some very good AFL games too.  I like Matheson because it is now an area we are very thin in, and he is good coverage.  Small to medium fwd like McAdam we have plenty off.

    Im not after him as the missing piece to our premiership glory, I much expect him to be like Dunstan and barely play a game, then young kids over take him.

    His first six kicks in his career were all free kicks in a match against us at the MCG from memory. Not one of them should have been paid - all dropping the shoulders. On that basis, it's against my principles to take him on :-)

    Not sure why everyone's so against Maddison.

    He's all class.  Give him a few months to transition and he'll be kicking goals out of his backside!

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
