    Plenty of ways to manipulate the list but so far we are:

    -7: Spargo, Billings, Fullarton, Verrall, Sestan, Brown, Hore

    +2: Henderson, Culley

    Strongly linked with 2 more: Heath, Derksen

    Probably drafting 2 more: White, Sinnema

    Hopefully anyone of quality that we trade brings in quality picks and/or players, but I’d have Woey competing for that last spot in Feb (if he wants it)

    I have no problem with those de listings, clearly over the last two year we lost out in the talent pool especially in the 20 to 30 range of players. Add VFL players who never showed more talent than VFL level e.g Verrall. I am no big fan of Spargo and he has become injury prone over the last couple of seasons. He can walk away with a premiership medal that is something a lot never achieve. Changes need to be made!

    New coach might give him a new lease on life.

    Similar to a new Girlfriend.

    You have to have a back up small guy to cover injuries that is not a 19 year old, and if he suddenly starts kicking 4 or 5 goals at Casey give him a go. However if a younger small guy plays well at Casey you'd give him a chance first. Insurance value. He is not on the senior list so makes some sense.

    Odd debut season - picked for Round 1 after zero practice games alongside his new teammates, then got dropped and never looked like being recalled before his injury. Doesn't hurt to park some experience on the list but not holding my breath for him making a big difference in the future.

    My one positive recollection of him in the seniors was when he nailed a set shot against North in an early season game when every man and his dog couldn't hit the side of a shed that afternoon.

    Kind of forgot he was on the list to be truthful.

    Congratulations Hendo!

    So happy for him to have been offered another year. He works very hard and he deserves to be given a go under Kingy, and with the new game-plan. His positivity is infectious. Onya Jack!!!

    Totally underwhelmed. I thought Sestan showed more.

    Agree Cranky and disposal of high standard.

    Like to think with a new senior coach some unheralded players may get greater opportunities to flourish. After being overlooked or undernourished thru lack of exposure by the previous regime.

    Jack Henderson does of course have a second bow as a trained agronomist. So his skills could be in greater demand with King Steven’s arrival. Who has expressed a desire to greet and meet not just the old hands but the new crop, first and second years’ green shoots. After all his alter ego did write Children of the 🌽.

    And a very good one, at that…

    My recollection of Jack is last minute fumble which allowed GWS to score & win the game.

    I am neither here nor there on Henderson staying on, i probably think this is a direct result of Spargo leaving as to not completely wipe out our small forward depth though.

    Noticed he didn't want to 'put all his eggs in one basket', Chook. You'd have life experience in that area? 😊

    • AFLW REPORT: West Coast

      Melbourne’s response to last week’s heartbreak was emphatic, as the Demons delivered a statement win over West Coast at a windswept Casey Fields. All of the pre-match hype surrounded the coach’s box matchup of Mick Stinear up against his apprentice, Daisy Pearce along with the gloomy weather forecast. In the end, it was less about tactical chess and more about Melbourne’s relentless execution. With rain looming, the DeeArmy and early birds snapped up the best undercover viewing spots.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: West Coast

      Epic battle alert.  This Sunday, Casey Fields hosts a coach’s showdown pitting the wits of the master Mick Stinear (92 games, 71.7% win rate) against his protégé Daisy Pearce (16 games, 43.8%). Still early in her coaching journey, Daisy’s record doesn’t yet reflect her impact — but she’s already the best-performed coach at West Coast.Dais’ is mythic.  Like Katniss Everdeen, everyone either wants to kiss her, kill her (sporting metaphor) or be her.  Toothers Daisy Pearce is a role model, someone admired for their heart, humility and humour.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.
