    Marty Hore's body is simply not made for AFL. I reckon he retires at years end.

    There will be quite a few moved on at seasons end I think, will be the biggest list re-set we've had in a while.

    Hore, Melksham, McDonald, Billings, Verrall, Woewodin & Fullarton I think should all be either retired/delisted at a minimum.

    We then need to be ultra aggressive on the trade/free agency table to replenish our list. 

    Have heard us linked to Oscar Allen and Kane Farrell, that would be a great start but we are going to need a lot more!

    I hope so. 

    You can probably add Laurie to that list of delisted/trade. Do the club give Campbell another year or does he retire?

    There is also question marks on McAdam as well and then the obvious one is Kozzie Pickett..

    Will Howes be given a deal ? OOC

    I think Laurie is contracted for another season, so I'm guessing he will be gone end of 2026 if we don't see big improvements.

    McAdam also has another year so I guess we will see how that plays out.

    The club will be desperate for Kozzy to stay, so I guess we will see.

    Campbell you could probably give another 1 year, basement bargain contract to as depth but we need to start scouring for longer term ruck options.

    Is Marty Hore made of paper? What a total waste of a list spot.

    Why do you even bother supporting this club? Everything is a disaster to you. 

    He fractured his hand (freak/acute incident) then has a calf strain without (AFAIK) a history of calf issues. It’s disappointing but not really that big of an issue.

    Yeah, but he (Poita) is right though. He had been delisted, then relisted. Why? If it is just for depth, give the spot to a young bloke

    He had been one of the best players in the VFL two years in a row, so deserved another crack. Unfortunately his body just keeps breaking down while on our list.

    I believe we have 19 players OOC, (18 if May has been extended). Quite a few of those are fringe players who we've been persisting with, so you'd imagine there'll be a few on the way out. 

    Equally, you have to bring other players in to replace them and we only have 3 draft picks, with 2 of those being in the 50's, so some work to be done.

    Yep, massive list problems looming!

    The good news is that we get two of our quickest players back - Kozzie (served suspension) and the Duke (available) plus a number of others if they pass fitness tests before Friday.

    Caleb Windsor — foot / available

    Jai Culley — foot / available

    Jake Lever — ankle / test

    Charlie Spargo — concussion / test

    Matt Jefferson — hand / test

    Luker Kentfield — illness / 1 week

    Koltyn Tholstrup  —  back / 1 week

    Xavier Lindsay — knee / 1 - 2 weeks

    Judd McVee — hamstring / 2 weeks

    Marty Hore — calf / 5 - 7 weeks

    Shane McAdam — Achilles / next season

    Andy Moniz-Wakefield — knee / next season

    Gee Culley’s come from the clouds. In the video Selwyn says he’ll play modified minutes in the VFL this week. The way our midfield’s going, we may want to call on him sooner rather than later…

    Kentfield and Tholstrup on the brink of doing the same next week.

    I'm really excited to see Tholstrup playing footy again, even if it takes a few weeks of VFL to blow out the cobwebs.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.

    • PREGAME: Geelong

      After a one-year reprieve, the Demons return down the freeway to Kardinia Park — the site of both one of our greatest triumphs and one of our darkest days — as they face the Cats under Friday night lights. This one could get ugly. Who comes in, and who comes out?
