    Primary delists: Spargo, Billings, Fullarton, Woewodin

    Rookie delists: Hore, Verrall, Sestan, Brown, Henderson

    Four Primary delists and we already have connections with White, Sinnema, Derksen, Heath and Windhager - we'll need to trade a couple of players and/or delist and re-rookie some contracted players (e.g. Laurie, McAdam). We might get away with B Rookieing Sinnema if he gets through the draft.

    We need to lose 2 Rookies just to get back to par, so those 5 off would give us 3 Rookie slots. We should probably re-rookie Spargo if no-one picks him up, it's the right thing to do for a player who gets a serious injury in the line of duty.

    so it begins ...

    Sestan had afl skills but clearly they made a determination he wasn’t going to get to the athletic level required.

    Woey, Billings, Henderson potentially waiting on the coach and other list decisions?

    Sestan was an interesting pick up, we kept talking about another AFL Pre-Season for him around this time each year, maybe you're right?

    That’s fine.

    I’d take him over a fair few of our players if I’m honest. Sparrow. Sharp. Kolt. List goes on.

    The effort he gives along with his ability to complete simple plays I rate him above them.

    Is he elite? No. But does he work his butt off? Yes.

    Def a candidate for a participation certificate.

    Other list decisions, surely, can't imagine coach/no coach has much to do with it.

    Depends on who we manage to bring in, but we still need depth and cover.

    One thing that they all had in common is that not one of them played an AFL match in 2025.

    except for fullarton who played 2

    Feel sorry for Kynan. Came on as sub and lays a game saving tackle only to never be seen again. You lived the dream of many on here playing an AFL game for the team you support. Best of luck in the future to you and the others delisted.

    this is how the list currently projects, the orange spots are interchangeable so we would be required to make two more cuts to free up 2 more draft picks

    this may be laurie and mcadam to the rookie list

    or it may be billings/woewodin

    or spargo / another senior player leaving between now and end of trade period

    Add Oscar Berry as a B-Rookie.

    So there are no B-Rookie spots - maximum is 2.

    So It Begins Helms Deep GIF

    Timing is [censored] with the B&F on tonight

    Why not wait a few days and have the exits on Thursday

    Why the rush … we don’t have a coach !!

    In terms of the “who”, the 5 delistings are not really surprising. Actually surprised that Henderson and Billings are also not listed. Spargo and Woey jnr may have to be awaiting the new coach to be appointed.

    this hasnt actually come out anywhere from the club yet

    Okay, that's a start. Hopefully several more still to come.

    Interesting that Billings is not on the initial list. Goodwin clearly put a line through him, but maybe the other coaches think differently.

    This is the toughest time of year for all involved in footy and as much as we want them all to succeed the law of averages doesn’t work that way. Good lucky Marty Hore, Will Verrall, Tom Fullarton, Kynan Brown and Oliver Seston thank you all for your service and best of luck going forward. ❤️💙👍

    Kynan looked alright when he was given the opportunity and showed defensive pressure and mongrel. That's a disappointing delisting for me.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • PREGAME: Fremantle

      After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
