No

Yes sorry misunderstood what you said - I agree 

 

Thought he'd end up at the saints, not sure how much game time he'd get at the others

 

interesting to see we we trade for him or if the view by clubs is that we will delist him anyway and someone can pick him up for nothing as a DFA.

 

2024 squad = 45. 😭ANB (crows) BBB ()Gus (med ret) , Hunter () JS29, KFW, Schache. Tomlinson likely to go.  
37
??? Marty Hore??? Staying or delisted???

️Gawn, Petracca, Viney, May, Oliver (tbc) ❤️kozzzy  (6)

soldiers: Rivers, McVee , Lever, Windsor, JVR, Bowey, Chandler,  Fritsch, Howes, Langdon, Petty, Salem, Sparrow, Tholstrup, Turner (15)

The one more year club… ANW,  Woey jnr, KBrown,… Verrall, Sestan,  Billings, Fullarton, Spargo, Kentfield, Tmcd*, Melksham* (could be high turnover at end of 2025)  (11) 

The two more years club …  Jefferson, Adams, Laurie, McAdam (contracted to 2026) (4) and ??? Tom Campbell  - unsure of contract length

him - who?

I think it is Tomlinson.

Can't blame Lamb when we pickup no one. It was own goals that caused all that. 

 

 

Tomlinson from depth to depth?

You don’t think anyone watched Tomlinson the last few years and thought he was a best 22 player right?

Moving from Steve May’s back up to competing with Billy Frampton would be a smart move for him though.

Thought he'd be an ok Battle replacement FWIW

With Wilkie and Howard the Saints don’t need to play 3 experienced talls, depth would help but the smart long term play for them is to expose some kids.

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.

 

It’s AMW please. Beaver sorry Deever!!!

I was talking about Nibbler aka Anb.


2024 squad = 45. 😭ANB (crows) BBB ()Gus (med ret) , Hunter () JS29, KFW, Schache. Tomlinson likely to go.  
8 off the list. Down to 37
??? Marty Hore??? Staying or delisted???Likely to stay with Tomlinson going. 
 

Add in Campbell and Sharp*, plus potentially another DFA (Parfitt?). Add in 4 in the draft (and leave room for Mentha as a cat B rookie).

this is the current lay of the list (u can see where i adjsuted from numerical order to adding players as they get added. 

believe mcvee and AMW* need to be upgraded at the 3yr mark

*AMW can be delisted? or moved to the A list as he's under the 10 game threshold.

so two of the grey tiles would be filled therefore blocking out a 6th and 7th 'A' rookie#

#jsmith off the list would also make way for mcvee, tomlinson for amw and then we'd be in the position of having the two ND picks and 2 'A' spots which could be filled during the draft, or by yzes boy (unlikely) or by SSP or left for MSD

Assume Tomlinson is departs.  
Asdume js29 departs. 
Assume Hore gets another year as a rookie. 
Assume McVee and AMW promoted to main list. 
37 listed. Add Campbell, Sharp, 5&9.  That’s only 41.  
Plenty of room for three further additions of DFA or draft or SSP additions (plus add Ricky Mentha as Cat B rookie). 

Departures off the 2024 squad - traded: 😭ANB (crows) BBB ()Gus (med ret) , Hunter () delisted: JS29, KFW, Schache & Tomlinson

You should list KFW completely separately because he's a B Rookie (and can only be replaced by such) while all the others are primary list players.

By all means also list Hore separately as an A Rookie too.


Quinton Narkle apparently being delisted, thoughts?

Couldn't make it at 2 clubs before, including Geelong who have proven to be incredible at identifying and developing talent. No reason to think he would work here.

Played 3 finals this year,  wouldnt grab him for best 22, but if we're after free depth does it hurt to ask the question?

Everything from our trade period suggests we aren’t that keen on free depth.

Tom Campbell was important to cover Max.

Otherwise I expect to see Laurie, Billings, Woey, AMW and even Kynan Brown, Sestan getting chances rather than Narkle level guys.

We might have 1 spot for a ready made mid if we go for 2 raw players in the draft, otherwise I expect see 5 and 9 added to the depth list too.

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • POSTGAME: Geelong

    The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

  • GAMEDAY: Geelong

    It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
