If they are bolded I think they will be delisted/retired.

Ben Brown

Kynan Brown

Kyah Farris-White

Marty Hore

Lachie Hunter

Luker Kentfield

Tom McDonald 

Jake Melksham 

Andy Moniz-Wakefield

Josh Schache

Ollie Sestan

Joel Smith

Adam Tomlinson

Will Verrall

Thoughts?

  • Demonland changed the title to Delistings 2024
 

Melksham to be given another year, same for TMac. Tomlinson I’d give another year as well if list spots allow.

Edited by Bombay Airconditioning

Would have thought Kentfield would be given more than 6 months

Keep:

Sestan

Verrall

Moniz

Hore

K Brown 

Melksham

The rest are done 

 

Pretty well close. Kentfield may be given an extension. 

We have pick 7 and ANB pick say early 20's, the Swans 2nd rounder and a pick in the 40's.

We should go to the draft IMO. We usually trade up and often use a future pick.

No doubt we will consider our FS Yze and Academy Mentha.

Care will be taken in using futures due to White and Ah - Mu  coming in next year.

Luker Kentfield

Geez Louise, did Luker run over your dog or steal your girlfriend or something?

You wrote him off the instant he was drafted and have been sticking the boots into him ever since.   

How about we give the kid a chance?

I'd imagine both TMac and Melksham will go around again.

Tomlinson will likely seek more opportunities elsewhere after another year we begged him to stay last year because he was a 'required player'. If TMac retires, then I could see him hanging around for another year.

Retired: Brown, Hunter, Schache 

Unsure old: T Mc, Tomlinson, Melk, Hore

No comment: J Smith

Unsure young: Kentfield 

Not convinced: Sestan, AMW

I guess so: Verrall and K Brown

Barring trades for better talls we’ve got to keep one of the Tom’s (T Mc the obvious preference). Got to keep Melk.

I’d love to keep Marty Hore, but his body hasn’t done him any favours this year. Probably have to see how trade week pans out.

This is far from a promising group of young players. Kynan and Verrell we probably sign on. AMW and Sestan I’d be just as happy to leave them out of contract until October and see how they go tank wise with a 6 week offseason running block.

All depends if anyone else is interested, happy for him to stick around another year so we can focus on other areas with drafts/trades.

BB gone. 

But not forgotten, he stood tall when it mattered. I still remember JB’S call, Benny Brown after Fritsch kicked back to back goals.

Bugger it, I’m going to watch the GF highlights now.

Plenty of chaff in that list.

Sestan is worth persisting with 

So far off the list:

Smith, Gus, ANB, BB = 4 

Talk of Viney going to North. Possibly all up 5.

Then others?? Hunter and Schache likely to go?

 

 

 

They'll keep Melky now that ANB is gone. Hid experience and leadership will be needed for the front half.

He’s also earned it off the back of his form since returning, IMO.

I'm assuming its

BBrown, Schache, Hore, KFW, Smith, Brayshaw OUT

AMW to A rookie

Sestan, Kentfield, Melksham, Verrall, KBrown re-sign as A rookies

Tomlinson, McDonald, Hunter re-sign

can see a world where Tommo looks to get out: Blues, Eagles, Roos, Crows, Lions, Pies could all be in the market and offer him a different look and a longer deal.

25 we send Petty back down back and McDonald plays the 24 Tommo role as next in

Ben Brown, Schache, Brayshaw and Joel Smith - Retired/Forced retirement 

Hunter is out of contract but I'd imagine he'd get another year. Still only 29, unless people know something I don't. He's handy depth along with Billings behind Langdon and Windsor as our primary wingers. We might also play Langdon at half forward like we did earlier in the year to cover ANB, which means we'll definitely need to retain Hunter's services. 

Melksham deserves to go around again and depending on Tomo if he requests a trade then we may look to keep Tmac which I hope we do. I'd like to see Adams push for selection next year. 

Hore is our back up intercepter if Lever is injured, so I'd imagine he stays on. 

The rookies I can't comment much on as I haven't tracked them closely this year. Sestan needs a huge preseason but I'm hopeful he stays on. AMW and Brown are developing nicely. Verrall I've heard good things and Kenterfield hasn't been given a proper crack at it yet so he deserves a full preseason to show us what he's got. KFW probably goes as I haven't heard much about him this year. 

In terms of draft and trading I just don't see why we're chasing Houston. I understand he's a very good halfback but he doesn't play midfield, so he's not really a like for like replacement for Brayshaw, which I'm speculating why we are chasing him. With our current pick 7 in the draft I'd like to go after a tall mid in Josh Smillie (Tom Green) but I doubt he'd last to our selection or Harry Armstrong as a key forward who will be around our selection after losing Brown and Schache. Jefferson and Kenterfield are still question marks at this point. 

No way Hunter gets another year.

Not quite sure if people have been paying attention...

Bit hard on Luker

It doesn’t seem like he has shown anything, I understand it’s harsh but clubs don’t keep blokes if they are no chance of making it

In fairness to him I’ve seen nothing but vague conjecture by posters, nothing in the media. But he’s been injured almost the entire year. Ordinary when not. And now MIA without being on the injury list.

 

 

T Mac has been a first choice key defender all year and May is looking more injury prone so obviously we need to keep him around or trade in new defenders (Turner and Petty are our fwd line now)

We might keep Tommo for depth or he could retire. He has been serviceable as always so I would personally keep him

Melksham is a tough one, 33yo next month. He played a few good games and a few poor games where he was hardly noticed. Given we don't have much senior depth and he is good for the culture I would keep him on. Get him to see a therapist in the off season to keep his focus/intensity up game to game as he is our best kick and can turn games.

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
