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?

    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.

    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.

    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??

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      Gather Round is upon us and the Demons face off against the Bombers who are on a 17 game losing streak. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
