Newton retained as a rookie.

Meesen, Hughes & Healey delisted.

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

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.

 

Yes, indeed.

Old55 was on the money. 4 & 5.

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!


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

36. Wonaeamirri, Austin

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

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

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


I'd imagine Bruce will eventually sign

Erm . . . that would be incorrect.

Try east.

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.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
