Jedwab and Toma are the only ones we desperately want to keep. Bailey Scott is a loss, he's a good solid player.
Give it a rest dude. He's retired. It's not even remotely relevant, you just look pathetic.
Let's Round 2. We still have 18 boys available who are listed below, a good array of young up-and-comers, some previously promising now fading talent and a heap of whipping boys for your perusal.
Clarke, Angus
Cox, Nikolas
Davey, Alwyn
Duursma, Xavier
El-Hawli, Saad
Gerreyn, Kayle

Well 2024 was a pretty fun year, unless you decided to watch the Dees play footy, but that's all behind us now. With summer only a month away from ending and Melbourne have the O Round bye, it's time to once again decide who in the squad makes up the Best 22 team. This'll mean that people will...
Not a huge list of critical out of contract players in 2025 which is nice to see for once.
Some very interesting contract calls certainly but none of them are clearly best 22 except Draper IMO.
Very early call here on what will happen.

...them hold onto 8th spot by a slither - sit 0.5% above Darwin. Tristan Waack had 20 touches and a goal, captain Shaun Wilson with 16 and JaydenDavey with 12. A lot of work still to go this season, and a huge Saturday arvo game presents next Saturday against Tiwi at Cazalys to make a...

Interesting, what makes you say Hoare is slow? For a big man he’s bloody quick imo. He’s also 24 I’m pretty sure? Best VFL defender. Also like the Zach Reid take.
Early thoughts on OOC players:
2. Sam Draper: Will either get a monster contract or go via FA. Right now I think FA would be better for us.
8. Ben Hobbs: Tough one, Shiel seemingly playing off half back will give him more opportunities inside but needs to take his chance. I can see Geelong...
