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. ❤️💙👍

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #7 Jack Viney

      The Demon stalwart surpassed the number of his father's appearances for the club towards the end of the season. As he approaches his thirties, his pace is inevitably slowing, and he is likely to explore alternative opportunities beyond the team's midfield.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #8 Jake Lever

      The Demon premiership defender who has the reputation the master of intercept possessions as well as great leadership qualities managed only eight senior games this season as he battled injury and form, prompting speculation that he might be enticed to look elsewhere.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #10 Daniel Turner

      “Disco” took his time (four seasons) but the mid-season draftee has been a shining light of Melbourne's campaign, improving to become a versatile option at either end of the ground. He has great marking skills which allows him to play as a marking target up forward or an intercepting defender down back.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #11 Max Gawn

      The skipper delivered another outstanding season, leading the team from the front, participating in every game, and earning club champion honours, while also securing an equal record eighth All-Australian blazer as a ruckman.  Max Gawn is arguably the greatest exponent of ruck skills in the history of the game; an exceptional leader who has guided the club to a premiership, through the challenging times that followed, and now into the next phase of its storied history.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #12 Koltyn Tholstrup 

      It was a frustrating season for the former number 13 draft selection, who failed to build momentum in his second campaign; Tholstrup played only nine games, having been omitted twice and substituted out three times. However, he demonstrated promising signs in the midfield at Casey towards the end of the season, and big things are anticipated from him in the coming years.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

      Clayton Oliver, a four-time best and fairest winner at the club, has navigated a challenging period over the past two years, marked by injuries and personal issues, but has demonstrated promising signs suggesting a return to his optimal form in 2025. He is presently contracted to the club for an additional five years, with a substantial annual salary of approximately $1.7 million in the final seasons of his agreement. All at Melbourne are eagerly anticipating his resurgence to his previous peak performance levels.
