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

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: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
