Pleased to see that, they all deserve a new contract, some tough nuts in that lot. Not sure why they included Gillies I would have thought he would have a contract when they recruited him.


Hopefully Davis gets play a few games next year. Said to be a good one on one player

worst. decision maker. ever

Tough, quick, unheralded, nice size and should get better. Still young with time to improve in certain areas and I hope he does well for us. IMO I think he's a kid with a bit of a future and I certainly haven't put the pencil through him.

Glad to see Jetta given another chance.

If he can be injury free I think he will be an asset this season.

Updated. I think Nicho is a longer contract, or at least they should get him on a longer contract.

Edited by rpfc

You've got Gillies in there twice. Next year's delistings look interesting, but I guess that's a discussion for another time.

If we get locked out of next year's draft Nasher it may not be a problem!

Ok, we nearly done here.

Gave all the ND draftees 2-year contracts until reported otherwise.

Another busy year next year looking at those OOC...


So a nett of 12 changes on PL and 2 changes on RL

14 new faces in total

that's big and so far it looks quite positive and balanced

kudos to all those who engineered this - end result better than i anticipated (says he going early)

So a nett of 12 changes on PL and 2 changes on RL

13 added to senior list.

UFA - 1

Traded In - 4

DFA - 1

ND - 7 (including the 2 promoted rookies)

Another busy year next year looking at those OOC...

My take on the contract situation for next year

Sign Them ASAP

Watts, Sylvia (UFA),Grimes, Tynan

Sign them before end of season

Taggert, Gawn, Fitzpatrick, Nicholson, Evans

Wait and see

Davey (RFA), MacDonald, Sellar, Jetta, Davis, Couch ®, Magner ®, Rodan, Gillies

Agree with you on all but Sylvia.

If you are a UFA at the MFC there is almost no reason to sign up before the end of the year.

The world is your oyster

Wait and see what happens.

I will be surprised if any Free agent signs back on during their final year

http://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/2013-02-22/toumpas-signs-contract-extension

I love Toumpas signing for an extra year. As supporters, we can't know what's going on behind the scenes at a club, but when a guy heralded as one of the best young players of his draft has seen three months of operations and is willing to commit himself, I'd say that's an excellent sign that the culture which saw Tom Scully getting out as fast as he could has been pretty severely curtailed by our new coaching and management team.

I'm a happy camper.

Yep me too. Very good sign.

Hard to know but from what I see and hear it would not surprise if he is captain one day

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
