[Whispering_Jack 27,959]

Can the club pluck out a rare gem via free agency?

Slim pickings? All 2019 AFL Free Agents REVEALED!

[Demon Disciple 10,919]

Wouldn't mind trying to lure Newnes across.

[Demonstone 19,084]

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.

He's a RFA.

[Dwight Schrute 16,749]

I thinK Richo is the person to ask for sure, if he'd be a good get i'm sure RIcho would have gone in to bat for him.

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

[Demons11 6,404]

Dougal Howard to land at North

[Whispering_Jack 27,959]

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

2019 Restricted Free Agent

Brandon Ellis (Richmond) is now a Gold Coast Sun after the Tigers declined to match the Suns' offer.
Jack Newnes (St Kilda)

 
2019 Unrestricted Free Agent

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

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

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

[spirit of norm smith 12,886]

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.

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.

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.
