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

    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: Gold Coast

      Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons are back at the MCG for the second week in a row. They face the Suns off a 15 day break without their prized recruit and former Demon champion Christian Petracca. This will be a massive test for the Demons who will be facing a genuine Premiership contender. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Carlton

      The text messages started flooding in shortly after quarter time. One read: “Is Melbourne even at the ground?” Moments later, as Carlton’s Elijah Hollands kicked the first goal of the second term, the Blues held a commanding 43-point lead. By then, the Demons’ only score was a behind kicked by Brody Mihocek nearly five minutes into the game. Ironically, Mihocek would also register the last minor score of the day after the game took a dramatic turnaround.

      The Demons snatched Victory form the Jaws of Defeat as they clawed their way back from 43 points down to win by 23 points in Max Gawn and Tom McDonald's 250th matches at the MCG. Never in Doubt!!!
