That's what I thought. Why the heck would he have got a 3 year contract? 

It might’ve been a 2 year deal with a trigger that he reached in year 1, but yep, welcome to Melbourne list management. Everyone gets at least a year they don’t deserve

Not like a journo to get the facts wrong in haste...

We all thought it was 2 years, but the list management pinned thread (which is fantastic) has a bit of chatter that it was three years due to a trigger of some sort.

Either way, he is off the list which is a great result.

His VFL highlights has some really nice kicks on both sides but it’s not a strength from what I’ve seen of him at afl level. Not a lot of power in his game, great endurance but not the fastest.

He’d be wing/high half forward depth and good players who excel defensively in those roles aren’t easy to find. I suggested Ned McHenry because that’s how hard it is to find super hard runners with any talent at all.

Nibbler wasn’t Nibbler for a very long time in his career either remember. 

Contracted, you’d want Brisbane to do the right thing and let him go for a bag of chips.

Hunter signed a 5 year contract prior to the 2019 season with the Dogs to take him through to the end of 2023.

Therefore we either extended his contract by 2 further years when he came across to us at the end of 2022 or his solid 2023 season set off a trigger.

As for Sharp, his PB at AFL level is an 18 possession 1 goal game against the Suns earlier this year and he also had a 19 possession 3 goal game in one of the VFL finals just gone.

Because both Sharp and Derksen are contracted we may have to pay overs for them maybe 37 for Sharp and 45 for Derksen.

I wonder if this means Windsor moves to half back and mid rotation. Very interesting move.

Windsor will never play half back. 
Will go straight into the centre to direct our connectivity to our forward line. 
Sharp Bowey could play wing even Pup Brown possibly though I think  he could end up as an on baller or half forward.

Don't mind this.

One of the fittest players going around in the competition and one thing he does bring is quick ball movement and speed.

He's actually a bit like Ed Langdon in that he'll hit a target 30m up the field and then follow up again with a hand pass and reset again.

He's contracted though, I hope Brisbane aren't similar to Dersken.

I also like this because he's still only 21 so there's lot of growth and improvement left unlike the past recruits who've had of recent.

Still plenty and growth and development left, and knows, could have a Toby Bedford breakout season hopefully.

Do you think he'd be a decent replacement for ANB? We're going to miss his gutrunning and goal-sense.

Yes I do. He's a genuine gut runner.

This to me is a smart potential trade. On the cusp of their best 22 but held out through their depth of midfield. Vic boy. Strong runner. Wont cost the earth and at 21 potential upside in development and potentially fills holes in list left by ANB and Hunter.

And sounding like Lions open to it. Suppose Ashcroft and others in and Coleman and McCarthy back helps.

    Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5 The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury. Date of Birth: 4 J

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    2024 Player Reviews: #32 Tom Sparrow

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

    Date of Birth: 12 November 1999 Height: 197cm Games MFC 2024: 20 Career Total: 82 Goals MFC 2024: 9 Career Total: 28 Brownlow Medal Votes 3 Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    2024 Player Reviews: #22 Blake Howes

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0
