Does Tomlinson want out?

I don't rate him as best 23, but I like him as a solid back up. I'd be giving him a two year deal if one doesn't cut it. But I guess it depends on how the club view the development of Turner and Adams, as well as what happens to Petty.

IIRC Tomlinson looked around last year and there were no (or few but unacceptable) suitors.  I would expect that were he told that he would be likely to play AFL 1sts regularly anywhere else he would grab it.

Thanks for taking over from the esteemed Luci, R&BF.

Sign Lingers this year and next year looks pretty good - Petty and McVee in that order assuming Gawn, May and Viney all sign. Key year for Howes who hopefully keeps progressing.

Hopefully TMac is willing to go one more year too.

Seems we need TMac and Milkshake to sign one more year!

Ben Brown, Tomlinson, Schache, Smith, Tom McDonald 5 possible senior spots plus Farris-White as a rookie are all possible delist/retirements.

That’s 6 talls gone. Not sure there’s much point in keeping Fullarton on the list either if he’s not able to get a game when Max is out. He’s 23 and been in the system a while. 
I’m hoping Tmac will go around again for another year but we have some serious recruiting to do.

Reading the contracts does that mean Moniz-Wakefield has to be promoted to the senior list in 2025 or is it now 5 years. I think we need to keep Moniz on the catB rookie list as long as possible if we are to have a draft pick or 2 in the draft. Hard to see Yze on the list as I think we will keep all our catA rookies. Cumming as a free agent and Houston for a future first round pick and 2025 first round pick. I wonder if that's over's what do demonlanders think? Mentha could be a catB rookie also.

 

B: Lever, May, McVee

HB: Cumming, McDonald, Houston

C: Windsor, Rivers, Langdon

HF: Petracca, Petty, Neal-Bullen

F: Fritsch, van Rooyen, Melksham (cata rookie)

FOLL: Gawn, Viney, Pickett

IC: Salem, Oliver, Turner, Chandler, Tholstrup

 

Casey

B: Howes, Adams, Woewodin

HB: Bowey, Hore (cata rookie), Moniz-Wakefield (catb rookie)

C: K.Brown (cata rookie), Sparrow, Billings

HF: Sestan (cata rookie), Jefferson, Spargo

F: McAdam, Kentfield (cata rookie), Fullerton

FOLL: Fort, Laurie, Draft pick round 2

IC: Verrall (cata rookie), Mentha (catb rookie), Draft pick round 3

We will have as little as 1 draft pick if we have to put Moniz-Wakefield on the senior list recruit Cumming, Houston and Fort or any second tier ruckman or as many 5 picks in the draft if we don't recruit anyone in the offseason.

Medical retirement. Brayshaw

Susiension. Delisted. JS29

99.9% guaranteed to retire  Ben Brown

Likely outs. Schache. Hunter.  
Likely to look elsewhere. Tomlinson

6 list spots. Promote Moniz-Wakefield. 

5 list spots most likely   

Likely to retire but not guaranteed.  Melksham (33) TomMcd (32).  Playing ok but don’t want to stretch it too far.  

Need to keep 3 live draft picks. I think 2024 will be a super draft by the way.

Have you factored in bringing in Kentfield in the mid season draft. I assume we will extend him for next year as he a project type of player and would have to have at least one preseason. 
So we could be looking at only 4 list spots unless we trade or payout contracted players  

Also if AMW is promoted off the CatB rookie list doesn’t that mean we have to bring in another CatB this year or can we increase the number of players on the A list?

Football is a secondary to Langdon, its between him and the rest of his life. I haven't heard anything, I thought the same thing earlier this year that it was odd and I wonder if he is considering retiring early, but yes, huge loss. He could help us out and get a trade and then retire as soon as the paper work is done 🤣

Be interesting to see what they do with Jake Melksham at the end of the year.

You could mount a case to keep him on as depth and experience body, but then may decide to move him on to clear up some list space on our rookie list.

Very interesting few weeks coming up.

I believe he is wanting to go on for another year.

Is there any way we could include their salary? (Estimated of course)

It would be an interesting exercise to know how much cap space we have.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
