It's tough. Spargo and so many others showed a lot in the VFL game. But at the end of the day we have to reduce our senior list by 3 players before the draft under AFL rules and we also have to reduce the rookies by at least 2 which we got as extras due to the long term injury list. You would also want to bring some young blood onto the rookie list. So I would suggest it will come down to at least 7 delistings.

What rule does this fall under?

    clubs are mandated to take 3 ND picks (can include rookie promotions) and we also have +2 on our list as a result of AMW and McAdams LTI so we re required to make at least 5 changes, two of which need to come from the rookie list (or promote 2 rookies to the senior list and make additional space there)

    What are the rules about reducing 3 players?

    Thanks

    Thanks,

    What is the reasoning behind this rule?

    Is this yearly? Never even knew of it. What is its purpose?

    yep annually, id say its 70% to protect clubs from themselves and promote list turnover which also regenerates the age of lists and 30% to ensure the pathways are rewarded and kids get exposure

    I’m not against it. Glad you explained it, thanks.

    Cal Twoemey just stated that Charlie Spargo is looking increasingly likely to head to North as a free agent.

    • Demonland changed the title to Farewell Charlie Spargo

    He looked flat last night at the B&F. I assumed he’d made his mind up.

    Didn’t help that his wing was in a sling but even so. Flat.

    I just love that we see the word Premiership preceding the word Demon

    Got his face as one of my Watch faces with the Spargod moniker

    Another from the '21 group departs.

    I'll miss Charlie. I think with a full and inury free pre-season he'll have a good 2026.

    No animosity here. Good luck to him.

    Smart player and one of our better users. Will always be a premiership demon. Thanks for your service Charlie.

    Wonder who the club is going to rush into the best 22 now off multiple injuries and no pre-season? Don't blame him for wanting a fresh start.

    It's a little sad to see Spargo-go, but all the best Charlie.

    Let's hope his more vocal detractors on here refrain from gravedancing.

    Would assume hes got a 6 month recovery following the dislocation at Casey. Wonder what our FA compensation would be for him 2nd or 3rd rounder??

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      It’s late February. Two teams widely predicted to finish near the foot of the AFL table in 2026 face off against each other in sweltering 30-degree heat deep in outer suburbia in a match simulation with fresh new faces and uneven team numbers. There are no nearby sheep stations on offer; the result promises nothing more than bragging rights for the winner. Nevertheless, the loser appears hopelessly adrift, whereas the other seems to have found its footing after a couple of years of struggle – perhaps a hint at bigger things to come?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      It was only a preseason match but the new look Demons spearheaded by new coach Steven King looked impressive as they put on a clinic against perennial cellar-dwellers North Melbourne as they cruised to an 80 point victory at Casey Fields.

      A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers were blessed with some beautiful Wednesday morning weather to give their observations of one of the final open training session at Gosch's Paddock prior to our first practice hit out against another team this weekend.
