    Would keep Green he has some talent and should have been either Captain or VC.

    Robbo has just signed a two year contract so he won't be going anywhere.

    White may be needed for one more year unless Meesen comes good.

    You forgot JAMAR to Sandy.

    Green is part of the cancer that's destroying this club, he may or may not be a good guy, who cares. He's one of the outside recievers that never gets physical. He has to go.

    Replace Green with Bruce and you're just about right.

    From what I'm hearing, there are going to be enormous changes happening at the end of this season. A lot of our favourites won't make it to 2009.

    Oh and if we get a half-drunk bottle of coke for Warnock, it would be the biggest steal of the century. Warnock is very much in the delist pile along with Weetra and CJ if they fail to show anything.

    You do realise you do actually need a few receivers in a side?

    In and under players usually can't get a steady kick out of a pack, so they look for the receivers.......

    You're not already part of the Melbourne list management people, are you?

    "out of a pack, so they look for the receivers......." this is exactly why I wanted Ebert in last years draft, 6'2" tall with reasonable pace who has class, kicks off both feet very well & plays both inside & outside equally well...

    "you can't give a squib courage and you can't make a slow man fast."

    We have to change the culture @ the club, that means NO ONE gets an easy ride. He doesn't go in, he doesn't get a game!

    It's now,,,, or never............

    "What was Checker Hughes like?" I ask, still cautious not to intrude while the Dees have a game to win.

    "He was my football father," Noel says affectionately. "He taught me about life. About respect and loyalty. 'Where there's no respect, there's no loyalty,' he used to say. You can make things happen. There's only two things you can't change: you can't give a squib courage and you can't make a slow man fast."

    for anyone who thinks we have the capacity to trade off and delist players at years end should take this into consideration...

    retiring definitely:

    Neitz

    Whelan

    Yze

    Holland

    Retiring probably:

    McDonald

    White

    Delist definitely:

    C.Johnson

    Warnock

    That's already 8 players and a hell of a lot of experience!

    In a perfect world, i would definitely delist Miller, Jamar, Wheatley, as well as try to trade Green, Bruce and Robbo...however the reality is that you can't have such massive list changes in 1 season.

    Hopefully by 2-3 years time we'll have gotten rid of all our dead wood

    Umm you forgot your namesake

    he must be the first one shipped out

    What club would seriously trade anything for Warnock?

    Theres a rumour Chad Cournes wants to come to melbourne and Warnock is locked to that discussion. Me thinks a good swap but risky if Warnock comes good.

    Warnock?!?! He can't crack a game with MFC. It's so beyond me how he's still on our list. Stll waiting to come good and he's getting the pension soon. Get rid of TJ and keep Warnock - now that was a plan.

    Me thinks this is a pre-emptive strike by the author to annoit Brucey as captain.

    Not according to some of the posters on this site.

    We need receivers like the Titanic needs an iceberg.

    I'd like to see Green at full forward for a while. I don't want to see him go until he hasn't been tried there for a good few games.

    Warnock and about 5 others, Warnock is NOT up to it, will be delisted and no-one will pick him up

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
