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

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
