add ANW onto 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.

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.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
