A list of who is out of contract would help the guessing - any takers?

Try the OP of the List Management thread.

Inner Demon has done all the work for you.

    Thanks, have copied it below for others reference

    This list then represents GC17's "opportunity" to sign out-of-contract MFC players this year

    Some big names still on the list

    . . . the unofficial, uncontracted player list which has circulated in other threads. . . .

    Warnock, Bruce, Jones, Watts, Bate, Miller, Johnson, Bell, Moloney, McDonald, Bail, Blease, Strauss, McNamara.

    with two games still to go? pull the other one and it plays jingle bells.

    Hahahahaha!! Love it.

    Pretty big call considering the year that Frawley and big Jamar have had! And, just quietly, Brad Green...

    Miller not named for this weeks clash.... off to Gold Coast me thinks!

  • Quote

    Would not be a good move for Bate if he went to Gold Coast - too much sunshine and way too many UV rays for a Ranga!

    Has possible OH & S implications too! He would have to play all 'home day games' in a long sleeve jumper, trousers and a legionaires cap!

    I have heard the Bruce rumour many times in the past, with Junior going i think we need his experience...

    We got to get Warnock, Jones, Watts, Moloney Bail, Blease & Strauss signed ASAP, thats the best of depth in our list!

    I spoke to Bail in the rooms a few weeks back and he said he is close to signing, guess he wasnt going to tell me different either way!

    Yes. It is certainly a big stigma and a huge sense of shame for those sides that gave the first win in the AFL to Brisbane, Sydney, West Coast, Freo, Adelaide and Port Adelaide.....who ever they were.

    Hawthorn lost to Adelaide in Crows first game.

    Did West Coast beat North Melbourne?

    Um, yeah that's about all I can remember.

    Bate would need to spend the extra $$$ he would get on sun screen so would prob end up earning less :)

    Hasn't he been saying on Twitter that his back has given up up him?

    Any word on if Melbourne would take Scott Thompson as he is returning to Victoria, probably need a trade as they lose goodwin burton edwards bock and maybe mcleod

    Scott will re sign with Crows very soon. Will finish his career with them.

  • Quote

    I reckon ablett is going going gone. he has not put anything to bed in telling the club of a decision, yet when he could have. paul connors reckons he is good as gone. the bruce talk is folly.

    A Geeeelong insider told me that he is currently looking for a house to buy up here in Melbourne and that he is back with long time girlfriend Lauren. Read what you may into that.

    Hahaha your "Geelong insider" could have easily been reading those details in the papers for the last

    month. Common knowledge.

    He has signed apparently

    If he was traded to Canberra he might be a chance with the ranga in chief.

  • Quote

    Stupid comment.

    Ablett has had plenty of chance to put it to bed... If he had actually already made a decision.

    He hasn't.

    Why on earth would he commit one way or the other when he doesn't yet know himself?

    The Bruce talk is highley unlikey.

    For once in my life- I agree with ya.

    MFC would be foolish to take Thompson IMO.

    That's what I heard.

    Imagine thier offspring. Big strong Rangas armed with gargantuan ear lobes that both mesmerise and knock over the opposition, expert snipers ... always moving forward, moving forward, moving forward....

    Not a MFC rumour, but here it is!

    Michael Voss will be sacked as Brisbane Lions coach at the end of the season.

    Source is from a relative who has connections with coaching staff from there reserves side.

    Time will tell!

    There's definitely trouble over at Brisbane.

    Problems with the review of the club being conducted by Voss, players disgruntled and wanting to leave and now a big resignation at the top.

    Far out, that really set Geelong back didn't it. You just can't talk about Geelong or Port Adelaide these days and not think back to the day Port notched their first win.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
