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

    Would have thought Kentfield would be given more than 6 months

    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.

    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.

    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...

    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.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
