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.

    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?

    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.

    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

    • 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?
