Johnson & McNamara added to Miller & Bell delistings with Junior retired & Cheney traded.

Spencer & McKenzie promoted.

Newton retained as a rookie.

Meesen, Hughes & Healey delisted.

Leaves us 4 picks in National Draft & 5 picks in Rookie draft.

No surprises. 9 new players is a pretty good intake.

Yes, indeed.

Old55 was on the money. 4 & 5.

Disappointed that TMac got chopped. Hopefully we can look at picking him back up in the rookie draft.

Other than that not surprised, but it's a little odd to consider that we're going into yet another season with one M. Newton on our list.

Gap filler insurance. The rule change may have provided him a window of opportunity.

Lol, if Newton comes good it'll be one of the great 'faith rewarded' stories.

I mean, Podsiadly didn't crack an AFL game til he was 28... Surely Newton deserves a few more years!

I believe Newton hung on as the last resort back-up if god forbid Jamar goes down, Spencer needs help or isn't good enough and Gawn and Fitzpatrick aren't yet ready.

That and perhaps as a last resort back up forward or defender (i just threw up in my mouth a little bit).

Other than that, all were spot on and once again the footy department have shown they will not be influenced by sentiment.

I can see us drafting a damaging half back, a big strong tall forward, another hard inside midfielder and another tall defender who will all be stars and in the team in round 1............. :)

39. Mature age tall

40. Beautiful footballer

Rookie list

1. Newton, Michael

I've bolded the players who are genuine top 22 at the moment and put in italics those who should be pushing really hard for a spot

Strauss I just haven't seen enough on to formulate an opinion. Also Joel Macdonald could well be struggling for a game by year's end.

For mine the only passenger on our entire list is, well work it out for yourself.

My conclusion is that we have a very strong list and with a bit of luck could well finish the jigsaw over the next two years.

"Roost IT" there may be another change or have I missed Bruce resigning?

If he should go that would give us five selections in the draft or 1 in the pre season.

Otherwise it looks good!

Erm . . . that would be incorrect.

Erm.... no it would be correct. I said "imagine" meaning in my imagination he resigned. In reality he didn't, 2 different things.

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
