I have noticed that Isaac Weetra and Heath Neville are the only players on the list now yet to make there debuts.

Do you think that MFC might put one or more rookies on the list and put one or two players on the long term injury list just to see what any rookies have in them for next year?

Your thoughts. :)

To be honest I think that's it for this season... the next player to debut will be one of our high draft picks next season...

So do you think that the 2 boys plus the rookies are finished

IMO there's no point upgrading rookie players for the sake of it. We already have a heap of young kids playing.

Weetra only came to the Club this year - he's nowhere near finished. Neville is probably gone as he's struggled to get a gig for Sandringham 1sts let alone MFC.

So did Newton for the last 2 years. :P

Players like Neaves and Bode are 2nd year rookies, so they will have to be upgraded or delisted at years end. So its not that silly a question to be asking. Bode will most likely be delisted, but it will be interesting to see what happens with Neaves.

I didn't say and don't think it was a silly question. I just don't think any rookies should be promoted to the senior list atm.

That's true. However the circumstances are probably a bit different - Newton came to the Club as a bottom-age draftee and was kicking some bags in the reserves. He also had stiffer competition to get into the 1s (Sautner and the like).

Difference is Newton is a prospect KPP, Neville is a midfielder where it's a lot easier to get a game.

i agree... unless we look at drafting another ruckman i think we will try and trade Jamar to a club where he will get a game, and elevate neaves to the senior list... bode is done i think...

Hayes should be kept on...he's a class above Weetra and Neville....Neville in particular has struggled this year...Bode has done ok..be intersting to see if he's kept on....but I'd definitley perservere with Hayes

I've been surprised by Weetra. He had a few good raps in the preseason but doesn't seem to have found his feet in the Sandy 2's. Hayes is already ahead of him.

Weetra needs time. He's had injuries during the season that haven't allowed him to show what he can do. There still has to be issues with Hayes' attitude

Looks like Bode has been promoted, quietly, and may get a gig soon.

I would also give Weetra at least a couple of games before this dismal excuse for a season ends, even though he is still in Sandringham 2nds.

I am a big fan of Hayes and I think the club needs to keep him, he has been playing not bad recently.

Good to see Newton getting some games under his belt.

I have to admit I was a bit worried about Newton getting delisted at the end of the year because I thought they might not have given him a game, I am so glad they are playing him now he is going to be a gun.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
