    Trade request to Crows… ANB

    That’s 8 off the list

    Thats 7 list spots available  

    need to trade to get 2 mature players, add minimum 4 draftees and one rookie likely Noah Yze

    ?Retire… or probably just go one more year??.  Melksham 

    ? one more year … Hore??

    ————————————————-

    one more year …  Kentfield, Tmcd, KBrown, Verrall, ANW, Sestan,  Billings, Fullarton, Spargo, Woey jnr

    two more years (tears) Adams, Laurie, mcadam (contracted to 2026) 

    Tx for this 

    Not much of a return from old Schacke.

    Same with McAdam. I wish we could move him along.

    Sad about Anb.

    Definitely worth keeping Milk.

    Hunter can go.

    Looked at an article from 25 March 2024 on the AFL website and it lists our potential out of contract/free agents as 

    • Tom McDonald
    • Jake Melksham
    • Adam Tomlinson^
    • Marty Hore*
    • Joel Smith

    No mention of Hunter, when he joined us he had 2 years left on his WB contract. Imagine a player in that circumstance would be asking for an extra year to make the move worthwhile/secure as well.

    I suspect that discussions might be taking place with Hunter’s management and, at the end of the day, he might be given the opportunity to look at other options if he wants to play game #200.

    “Cherry blossoms bloom best in springtime.”

    Fragment of ancient text , by anonymous Japanese poet. Believed by scholars to refer to the impermanent nature of  AFL football recruitment and careers. And the unfounded rampant optimism and soon to be turned, capriciousness of football devotees.

    ...providing a segue for this somewhat apt combo of image and words (though perhaps better on the 'Training Ground?' thread??)

    Is Hunter contracted for another year or what's the story there??

    Finding mixed information that he's supposedly contracted to 2025..?

    Hunter signed a long term contract at Dogs through to 2024.

    Is it possible we offered him an extra year through to 2025 as a selling point to get him over. At the time (2022) he was still considered an above average league player.

    The Dogs wanted him gone, hence why we paid next to nothing for him. I highly doubt we had to offer him anything to get him across. He wasn’t hot property 😬

    I reckon he’s 100% gone. Could be trying to find another club or contemplating retirement, hence why we haven’t delisted him yet

    Only 6 likely list places out at the moment. Brayshaw (med ret), BBB (ret) , ANB (going to Crow-ville), JS29, Schache and Tomlinson (UFA).  

    ? one more year … Hore?? Feel for him given injury hit him and led to being delisted, and it might happen all over again   

    ————————————————-

    The one more year club… ANW,  KBrown, Verrall, Sestan,  Billings, Fullarton, Spargo, Woey jnr, Kentfield, Tmcd*, Melksham*, Hunter* (could be high turnover at end of 2025)

    The two more years club …  Jefferson, Adams, Laurie, McAdam (contracted to 2026) & S.Goodwin

    Hope Dees put through two and three year extensions for May, Howes and McVee in the early part of next year.

    Hmmmm I guess we won’t be having a big crack at this draft so. Kentfield has already replaced Gus in terms of list spots I think so it’s down to 5. 
    You’d think we fill take on two rookies, that leaves 3 list spots to be filled and 4 if they delist Hore. 
     

    Cant believe we have Hunter for another year. Can we just payout his contract and get him off the list?

    Cannot believe after this year from MFC AND CASEY that we are only moving on Schache & Hore as the only delistings.  Tim Lamb deals and some extensions for others is puzzling.

    Really surprised West Coast delisted Jarmaine Jones.

    Quick midfielder half forward who has a nice left foot. Would add a lot of dash and speed across the midfield and half forward area.

    Certainly worth a shot imo.

    Jamaine's now been delisted by two clubs.  There's probably a good reason for that.  Pass.

    At times he looked very good. Probably didn’t quite kick goals for his role.  If we had list spots to fill then ok (but unfortunately holding too many cloggers) …  we need spots for young midfielders.  At 25/26 he’s actually better than others like Hunter and Billings on our list.

    Our trading policy over the past few seasons has unfortunately misfired badly, landing us with plenty of list cloggers such as Schache, Hunter, Billings, Fullarton and McAdam.

    Now I fear we will probably cave in and accept being shafted yet again when ANB's move to South Australia is finalised.

    And Casey's dismal performances this season suggest that the hopes being pinned on some of the younger brigade may not be well founded. (I would love to be proved wrong).

    If Tim Lamb doesn't get it right this time around, his role must come under serious scrutiny.

    Unless the Big Four (Gawn, Petracca, Oliver and May) all avoid serious injury and produce their best, our so-called premiership window may be firmly closed by the end of next season.

    That's not being a pessimist, just a realist.

    If GWS holds Derksen and Tomo gets to Collingwood, St.Kilda or elsewhere then retaining Hore seems likely to me.

    • 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.
