He is not in that list but I think Nathan Freeman would be worth taking a look at. He promised a lot but injury kept him from delivering at both Collingwood and Saints. He was touted as super fast in his draft year. I guess if he couldn’t get a game at the Saints that is a bad sign though.

Could go on the rookie list. Worth the risk imo.

    Howe the best on the list.  With libba then townsend

    Townsend doesn’t get much of the ball and likes a clanger, I’d prefer Bugg. Disco Biscuits wouldn’t fit in with our no DH policy, although he would probably be the pick of the litter if his head were right.

    I'd be interested in Lamb as a small forward but it wouldn't make a lot of sense considering he is similar to Bugg and we got rid of Bugg.

    I doubt we will get a delisted free agents (we need 2 if we don't upgrade) I think we will upgrade as there isn't really another reason why they haven't announced the signings of T.Smith and Keilty. I think they will wait to the end of the delisted free agents time closes.

    Oh dear god please tell me you're not talking about Jed Lamb the absolute rubbish footballer from carlton? Scrawny faux tough guy syndrome is little Lamby..

    Dont understand the need to not only discuss what spuds to pick up but also from clubs who are rabble like Carlton and St Kilda.

    If these players struggle to get games at bottom side clubs then they have no hope getting games at ours. List bloggers at best.

    We're past that stage of picking up Ben Newtons, Aidan Rileys of the world.

    You know what you get with bugg, and its not good enough for afl level.

    Would be happy we get howe.

    The delisted free agent list is very thin this year.

    Hey, MAH, I recall somewhere you mentioned that Keilty and T Smith had been re-signed for another year as Rookies.  Would like to update the 'Contracts' thread but have been unable to find anything from the club.    

    I noticed the AFL article showed no-one at mfc was still un-signed but do you know if Keilty/Smith contract extensions have been officially unannounced.  Thanks.

    Hey LH.

    Nope haven't seen anything official myself. Just heard it from them on the Casey B&F Night.

    Give Jake Long a year this year and sign Ben Long next year?

    Tom Sheridan - cheap depth wing option if we still aren't satisfied on outside runners?

    Have often thought Jack Leslie offered a bit as a key defender, but keeping Keilty means we've got heaps of numbers there.

    Dom Barry? ?

    Surely Richmond will lock up Derek Eggmolesse-Smith

    Definitely give Luke Partington’s manager a call.  Just been delisted by Eagles.  Hard to crack at behind their outside run group.

    Talented youngster.  Outside runner with excellent skill.  East Perth 2018 B&F. Still only just turned 21.

    Dom Barry delisted by Port today.

    Probably not good enough in the end?

    Could Jake Neade be worth a look as Nev Jetta’s understudy?

    We need more pace. Jake neade as a small forward for an end of the list option is worth it. He has something we don't have.

    Surely have to seriously consider Jordan Murdoch. Pace and goalkicking. Very dangerous player. 

    He is an ok player in a good side. Geelong have slid from good to mediocre and an soft outside running player with ok. not elite skills will fall away quickly, which he did this year. Hopefully we are a good side and therefore he may be worth a depth position? Tipping he'd prefer to be on AVB side so he doesn't get crunched by him again too!

    Him and Sheridan at least are mature players that have some of what we lack in outside speed and carry. Truthfully though I would prefer to draft Wagner and Hind from the VFL late.

    Can we simply change Corey for Josh? think they'd find out if we crossed out Josh on the forms and wrote Corey above it in Crayon? Unbelievable that Corey Wagner got delisted by North and yet Josh seems impossible to rid from our list!

    Now that Corey Maynard has been upgraded to the main list, we now have six vacancies for the draft but that number could drop if the club takes any delisted free agents or alternatively if it decides to limit the primary list to 38 or 39 (which would give scope to taking one or two more rookies). 

    I suspect that if we are talking to DFAs then discussions would be well advanced and that we will hear about it by the end of the coming week.

    Sheridan and Townsend sound interesting.

    I enjoy reading the way some on DL would take every club’s discarded players, all of them. We could have a list of 100 if some on DL were our FD.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • NON-MFC: Round 08

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.
