Does anyone know whether Bode was uplifted from his rookie status today?

Was done during the season on a long term injury.

 

What an enormous transformation for this guy, who a couple of months ago looked like an absolute certainty to be delisted after struggling with injuries and poor form.

It's a credit to him, and he deserves the best of luck going forward!

Yeah. I had him written RIGHT off about 18 months ago, and was even more sure halfway through this season. Then all these glowing reports started trickling in from Sandy. Then it all started to snowball in a mini-juice kind of way, and before you know it he's all but secured his spot. Sensational to see him come from so far behind to have another couple of years to have a crack at it.

Now I've not been round for a while now, but Danny Hughes' delisting is news to me. I knew Hayes and Neaves were out, but I thought Hughes was still a chance. I saw a picture today of Neaves at training too... Hughes showed some promise, albeit a fair while ago now... Anyone with any news, inside info, or just their own impressions?

Ummm where did you hear that Hughes was delisted?

He is still on our rookie list as far as I know.

As for Neaves, he might be doing a pre-season with us with the hope of getting pick up again either by us or another club.

Click on the link. It says, fairly officially, that Hughes has been delisted.

 

So we're obviously going for a fresh rookie list next year, who knows, might pick up the next Dean Cox...

I note the clubs have heavily delisted Rookies this year, more than in the past.


Yeah hughes and neaves are both training, with rookies you are technically delisted then re-rookied. With the case of the third year i think we can only have one of them, but i think hughes b'day is a day before the rookie draft so he would be a meture aged rookie!

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
