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!

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.
