Laurie has been excellent all year in the VFL and I would be shocked if someone doesn’t come for him like the Eagles, Bombers or Blues for example.

I think I have conceded on Verrall, who doesn’t appear likely to make it and Heath will probably take his spot.

If we are a chance for Windhager as Finey is saying, then I could see Sparrow going home.

I think May will go and I have suggested even the Pies might grab him for a year or two and despite what the Dogs are saying maybe even them.

I still think Lever is a chance to leave and become the general of North’s Defence.

If we can find another key forward or Jeffo and Luker step up, Petty can go back.

I think keeping Tom Mac another year suggests we will lose 1-2 older key backs and he is that experience we may need for a year.

I see Hore, Fullarton, Woey, Brown, Billings, Henderson, Verrall, Spargo, Laurie, May and maybe Lever, Sparrow and McAdam gone depending on whether the new Coach wants to give McAdam one more try in his last year.

Tracc, if a big club he like comes hard and offers a good deal, could also go.

That is a lot of movement and it can only all happen, if we have a few more players wanting to come to us.

Think you will find that Culley will just remain on the rookie list instead of being upgraded.

Upgrade from SSP to Rookie

Right now he is on the list due to AMWs injury, he is the 46th man at the moment

 

Is Verrell out of contract? He's improved this year but he still looks a mile off. Saying that, I can't see us delisting him if Campbell retires. Our ruck depth would be non existent.

On that topic, I find it odd that even though we have the best ruck of the generation on our list, our history of developing young rucks over the last decade (LJ aside) is surprisingly poor.

Lachie Filipovic, Mitch King, Austin Bradtke Kyah Farris-White. The list goes on.

Fingers crossed Kalani breaks the pattern.

Verrall pretty much got subbed after half time. Read on twitter he was sat at the back of the bench the whole second half.

Pending … buffering… on standby … awaiting new coach to arrive

Keep

Oliver

Petracca

Uncontracted

McVee Hope a new coach and a good contract offer sees him stay

Billings 

Fullerton 

Woey jnr💔

Spargo️UFA Trade or allow to leave

(R) Verrall

(R) Hore.

(R) KBrown💔

(R SSP) Henderson

8 off the list - Spargo, KBrown, Fullerton, Hore, Verrall, Billings, Henderson, Woey jnr (Henderson was top up so we can add 7)

????!!question marks

Campbell … maybe 1 more year , but he goes if we can recruit in another backup ruck like Max Heath

Sestan …likely gets 1 more year … needs to really get a big pre season in

Contracted 2026

McAdam️sure he has mercurial talent but can’t believe he was 29 yo and injury prone and he got 3 years Maybe he gets to see out his final year 🤞he can stay on the park or he’ll have to retire early

Laurie️ elite at VFL Level Just wish he’d got more chances at AFL game and shown something He has been on our list 5 years now Might just seek opportunity elsewhere

Contracted. One more year …

The Veterans. Melksham Tmcd May McAdam Campbell

On the edge. Must prove themselves Laurie Sestan Jeffo Adams Johnson rookies: Kentfield Culley AMW Mentha

let’s see how you fit in . Salem Sparrow Salem had some good games but got exposed in others as slow and also slow to dispose of the footy (often sideways and with no impact) needs to discover kicking skills into the corridor Sparrow is stuck as not quite a midfielder and not quite a half forward , so where does he play


7 additions

  • Add Culley as upgrade from SSP to rookie 

  • Add Derksen + add another mature player 

    Draft…

  • Add White (likely list) and Sinnema (likely cat b rookie)

  • Add 2 quality youngsters in the draft

Agree with literally everything except McAdam. Move him on. Broken body. Wasted money. Delist and open a spot, bring in a kid, or trade him.

Cannot see us "freeing" McAdam. I doubt anyone would want him as a trade with his injury history.

May as well let him see out next year and hope he comes on. Ideally he would challenge for Melksham's place by season end.

My guess is 2026 will be a tough year with at best an 8-10 ladder position outcome

We should look to pay him out


Lets do everything to keep Lever ,Trac ,Clarrie and May .Their absolute best might be behind them but they are indescribably superior to any possible replacement I watched last night .The chances of verrall ,brown,wowy kenterfield sestan tholstrup or adams making it are somewhere between nil and zero .Did JT even see Sestan play ? Looks more like a foreman at the steelworks than an AFL footballer .

That's the alternative or we could trade him and pay 70% of his salary. With six or more ready made delistings I don't see it being of much value

(oh to think we gave up the pick we got back for ANB)

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
