Newnes isn't a free agent according to that list.

Thought I heard on trade radio today that he is a restricted free agent. I could be wrong though.

ellis, elliott, tomlinson are the clear three stand-outs of that crop and we are in discussions with two of them

I'd argue that Edwards would be numero uno, but pretty sure he just put pen to paper

So the first of the free agents in both categories has been decided.

2019 Restricted Free Agent

Jack Newnes (St Kilda)

Adelaide's Cameron Ellis-Yolmen has moved to Brisbane.

Melbourne football club never take a chance, probably one of the reasons they've been so crap for years, it's always by the book #boring

Lamumba was a risk.  Volatile at Pies due to his ego and we took him.  Lever for two 1st rounders was a risk.  Mitch Clark was another risk.  We do take risks.

Far too many actually.

They were all dumb risks. Taking a hugely talented delisted free agent for next to nothing with the last spot on the list is a smart risk.

None appeal so far.  Maybe Wylie Buzza but only because of his name.  

Just my opinion so put away any arrows, bullets and darts. These are options. 

small forward option - Ben Keays (x Lions) 22yo had a ripping NEAFL year but couldn’t crack the Lions midfield. 

tall forward option - Callum Moore (x Tigers) was behind Lynch and Riewoldt but is a good mark and handy backup key forward.    (also still like Buzzzzzzza for the fans screaming out his name )

running midfielder - Connor Menadue (x Tigers) is a skilled quick wingman who delivers the footy and kicks goals.  Again behind a few quality players in the Tigers middle.

Whilst not delisted (could still be by thevSaints) Jack Newnes is out of contract and presents the best option as a strong running mid. Not sure on Nick Robertson.  Good lockdown tagger type to play tough unsociable footy.  Could be handy to stop others key midfielders.  

Im not a Sam Murray fan as his pace is good but ball delivery is poor.  We apparently got rid of Frost for this.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

  • 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?
