[pjfairbairn]

Annual reminder to all to try and remember how trade week actually works - e.g. players in contract won't be delisted, unless they are to be re-rookied or picked up elsewher as DFA - and also to have a look at Page 1 of the thread if unsure of contract status.

Re-Sign - Jacko (ha!), Hunt, Melk, Hibberd, Bedford

Delist - Rosman, MBrown, Baker

Open to being traded in some way, shape or form - Dunstan, BBrown, TMac, Tomlinson, Rivers, Chandler, ANB, Spargo, Jordon, Weid

Recently re-signed so irrelevant to discuss: Laurie, J.Smith, D.Smith, Moniz-Wakefield, Howes, Turner, McVee, Woewodin

Keep in all circumstances - Viney, Langdon, Brayshaw, Fritsch, Salem, Oliver, Petracca, Gawn, May, Lever, Petty, JVR, Bowey, Harmes, Sparrow, Pickett

Good contract guide here: Melbourne Demons AFL Player Contracts

 

[jhong]

Jackson is gone . All about the coin

[LeverPuller]

Bailey Laurie signed til 2024: Young Demon signs contract extension

Missed and fixed

 

[pjfairbairn]

Baker literally the last one left, with Lamb having confirmed Melk & Hibbo get 1 more.

Please delist him today and put a nice ribbon trade week.

 

[LeverPuller]

Right, updated.

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Just like James Reyne said : "Will Verrall, I would give anything, just to be like him"

 

[Daemon]

Just like James Reyne said : "Will Verrall, I would give anything, just to be like him"

Who the hell is Will Verrall?

 

[jhong]

Who the hell is Will Verrall?

Project ruck , been injured .

 

[Daemon]

Project ruck , been injured .

Pity, hope he pulls through

 

[Dory_77]

Pity, hope he pulls through

Got extended on the rookie list, so obviously has something the club likes.

 

[Lord Nev]

 

[Lord Nev]

Dunstan and Melksham both with likely ACLs on the same day.

Could be the end for both.

Deakyn Smith & Pig already gone. Grundy, Harmes, JJ all likely gone.

Lampers, your thoughts on whether Kye Turner and AMZ are likely to be extended?

Remaining OOC:

Andy Moniz-Wakefield (R)
Jake Melksham
James Jordon
Kye Turner (R)
Luke Dunstan

I reckon AMZ showed enough to get an extension. But the team is pretty well stocked for small-medium forwards, even more so if McAdam arrives.

K.Turner didn’t show enough due to injury, so that might save him.

The number of list spots required will come down to what players Melbourne bring in through trade and free agency, and how many draft picks they want to use in this draft.

No point culling 8 players if it means you’re using pick 78 to put someone on the list.
