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.

    Most melbourne fans would have predicted the exact result, it was pretty obvious.

    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!

  • Quote

    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............. :)

    37. Strong bodied forward

    38. Tough SOB small backmen

    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!

    I'd imagine Bruce will eventually sign

    Indeed, and the rest had a strong feeling that Bruce is headed north!

    Erm . . . that would be incorrect.

    Try east.

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

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
