Jeff White

Adem Yze

that's 35 players, with Yze and Neitz on the Veterans list i believe? we have draft selections 4, 14, 21, 53, 69 etc. plus pre-season draft selection 3... if we don't delist any more players we will be looking to add 5 players through the draft, where i would suspect we pass on selection 69, and use selection 3 in the PSD...

the question is now, will we cull anymore players from the list? i don't think we will delist any more players, however if we do the three possibilities for mine are Ferguson, Warnock and Jamar... what's the contract situation with these players?

I’m at a loss as to why people don’t rate Warnock. We’ve had a 2nd rate backline for years now and the rare game he’s played he has held his own.

He fails to excite but I don’t see that as a failure in a backman.

In a team crying out for a stronger defence, he’s very low on my list of potential delistings. Unless we had to make room, he stays.

There's plenty of room at the moment.

Vanlo,

Warnock's contracted for next year. More importantly, his "little" brother comes out of contract next year. Matthew's possibly got an additional advantage if there's a long term plan to try to prise Robbie away from Freo.

Jamar - correct, just signed a 2 year deal.

Ferg I think is out of contract & of your three, will likely have the biggest battle to stay on the list. He would have been quietly hoping that someone had put in a bid for Carroll when he was declared available

l thought having Connolly at the club and Bailey as coach was going to be good for the club but IMO getting rid of Travis and keeping Jamar and Miller on TWO YEAR CONTRACTS are BIG mistakes, Jamar is pathetic and Miller is not far behind him, l hope they get it right because they haven't on these 3.

Why did they sign up Jamar? Its not like we were in danger of losing him to another club? Although Carlton do have a tendency to pick a dud ruckmen.

I can't see Jamar being delisted. My pick would be Ferg.

However, we're probably unlikely to delist many more if the kids replacing them will be rated 69+ in the draft.

With the retirement of Brisbane's Chris Johnson, we can now refer to our Chris Johnson as just that. Who is the other Paul Johnson that requires us to call ours Paul A. Johnson?

Some people have no concept of list management. Firstly, on Jamar's re-signing. Every club needs 4 ruckmen on its list, and as recently proven, ruckmen of any standing are a tradeable commodity.

On Miller, I personally don't rate him, but we have a shortfall of KPP, and obviously Bailey believes that he has some talent there to develop.

Finally, we didn't get rid of Johnstone. We traded him for a 1st round draft pick, which was deemed as more useful for our talented crop of under 23's, than a 28 yo underperforming highly paid player with a poor work ethic....

hear hear.

Is there anybody else on this forum who thinks we are a better than even chance of claiming the spoon next year?

If we have another year destroyed by injuries we will win the wooden spoon, no doubt with 3 or 4 wins.

The TJ trade will hurt, I can't believe people were happy with that...but thats been done to death.

If we have a good run with injury, then I'd say 9-12th. We'll need to be patient with the new coach...remember Ross Lyon couldn't get the highly credentialed Saints into the finals.

If we have a good run with injury and still finish 9-12th how much "hurt" will getting rid of a 28 yo perenially underperforming player with a poor work ethic and two years left in his career? If, in your eyes we clearly arent challenging in 2008 why not trade him for value now and recruit a capable taltented young player with 10 year playing potential?

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
