What a disappointing career for schace given his draft position and hype. He'll dominate some suburban league next year. Good luck to him

    He could kick 10 Goals a game in suburban footy.  Had the talent.  Dedication and desire seemed to be missing.

    Always tough time notifying players that they won't be receiving contracts.

    Beauty about it is that they would have been getting some good communication (I hope) around where they stood and they'd know deep down that they wouldn't be getting contract especially when you're still struggling at suburban level.

    Knowing his personality, wouldn't surprise me to see Schache back playing for Seymour in the GV league next year with his mates.

    I'm curious @Dee Viney Intervention, what do they have at 3/4 time? Oranges or chips?

    So.  Gus , j Smith, bbb, these two, 

    only need a couple more and it will be 30%

    Unfortunate for both of these boys. 
    Schache just couldn’t take his chances and wasn’t the aggressive beast that Goodwin wanted. 
    KFW probably needed another 3 years to develop his skills and get physically stronger. 
    He’ll need to workout whether to stick with it or return to basketball.

    I used to think he was close to becoming another Petracca, and but he hasn't really evolved.

    He's as solid and  probably close to as strong as CP but I don't think he reads the play as well. He tackles hard and notches up a lot of them but yea I'm sure your opinion of him is not unique.

    Can't imagine we would get a great deal for him but he does have a lot of experience under his belt now, so you never know.

    Unfortunately we don't have a great deal of midfield depth so it might be wiser to hang onto him for emergencies. But it's not the strongest of arguments to keep him on.

     

     

     

    He. He. Who are we talking about? Sparrow?

    …...

    i'm disappointed we're not in the conversations for any of the gw$ or gc17 wantaway players like cumming, peatling, lukosious, although apparently we were keen on angwin...that seems to have gone quiet

    going to be a busy off-season that's for sure

    Do you know that we aren’t?

    He's a ball hunting mid imo. 

    Not sure why the FD haven't seen it 

    Again, “he”. Who?

    MELBOURNE has made two changes to its AFL list, informing Josh Schache and Kyah Farris-White they will not receive a contract for the 2025 season.

    Barely news. Most obvious delisting in the clubs history.

    Another year for Luker. Hopefully it works out, if not 2025 seemingly good for us for talls.

    He’s smartly biding his time. At this rate he’ll be the only player wanting to stay with us and we need to spend a minimum $ of our cap.

    Last one remaining gets 100% of the cap. Genius really.

    May be upgraded from rookie to main list, which would change the nature of the deal?? Ie, when it can be announced (draft night)

    On borrowed time: Adams,  Woewodin, Kentfield, Verrall. 

    Verrall has shown signs stepping straight into the vfl no1 role as a teenager, trust the process with him.

    Kentfield i agree has been really uninspiring but given age, he gets another year

    Woey has shown signs, i liked him (and KBrown) in the half forward nibbler role more than i like him at half back, i dont think he kicks it overly well

    Adams i agree havent really heard or seen much to suggest he's making strides at casey and could be a bust

    Are the One more year??? Players contracted?

    If possible I'd recommend keeping only Spargo , Woey and maybe Hore.

    The rest of , we should delist.

    I mean we haven't played Fullerton all year....why keep him.

    Laurie never seems to excel.

    Billings all over the place.  McAdam the same.

    Well maybe Billings gersa second chance but that's it.

    Agree with giving Tmac another year especially if Tommo is moving on and Milk due to fwd line issues.

    So that would be around 15 gone.....in 15 seconds .

    I don't like the term list cloggers and a couple in that 15 are fantastic players.

    But 2024 did see us with a lot of players we simply never played or ones that simply didn't perform on a regular basis.

    15 is a fair amount for sure.

    @leave it to deever I agree there’s a few more that would not be part of the future.  But we have to keep them to honour contracts (Laurie, Billings, McAdam, Fullarton) or just to keep some sense of stability (which is crumbling quickly).
    It shows how quickly our depth has been eroded.  We were tight for list spots and perhaps didn’t give JJ or Bedford the sense of security.  Deakyn Smith also unlucky to go but we were limited for spots.  Now as you mentioned, we could find plenty to delist !!!

    In finding 14 to 15 (Gus and Nibbler don't count) then it helps explain why are season was so bad at times.

    I hope if we go poaching for some top up experience we do much better.

    I miss not playing finals. Big time

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
