Big risk with knocking back a contract unless you’re 100% certain you’re going to be picked up. Things can change at the last minute. 

I would say a contract would be agreed to if that was the case (Newnes decided to become a DFA).

Strange why they'd wait though.... but it is a lot simpler as DFA essentially all you have to do is sign a contract.

I assume clubs will be waiting to confirm what picks they have and how many list spots are left

    I did not realise Newnes was available and think it is definitely worth a chat to his management if enquiries into Jack Martin don't go anywhere.

    At the right price, I can see him as a defensive wing / half-back. I really think we need to work to have Salem up the field to kick into the forward 50 rather than out of the defensive 50. Perhaps Newnes offers an ability to do that?

    Not sure why Newnes thread is not within the Trade and Drafting posts. 
     

    Newnes has great skills. Size.  Pace. Running power.  Exactly WHAT WE NEED. 

    MFC WOULD BE MAD TO IGNORE HIM. SEEMS AN OBVIOUS FIT. 

    Iwould offer a 3year deal and see what he is after.

    Waiting to see some action here.  Clearly a good fit and given the arrival of Hill and Jones, his opportunity at the Saints would be very limited.

    A player that would have made our bottom 6 better. i hope they have plan to add another hardened player on the list. 

    He's another who is a bit 'meh' to me.  Has struggled for a few years now.  I don't think he would make us any better.

    What does he believe his best position is?

    Being a saint I reckon it’s missionary. If he goes to Carlton then it would be doggy.

    The Blues had cap space available for Papley which didn’t eventuate so it would appear they have now used it for Newnes.

    Everyone is in raptures about the Saints’ recruiting to date but they’ve lost some handy footballers as well as having no presence left in the draft.

    This suggests to me that if a couple of their recruits get injured or don’t meet their expected standards, the club could end up with egg on its face.

    Well played Carlton, although I suspect paying newnes more than the saints could offer could impact what Carlton can now offer Jack Martin.

    Interesting times ahead.

    Carlton keep picking up recycled outside types, when they are screaming out for some inside help for Cripps. Pretty much the opposite of us.

    They wouldn't need to offer much, the Saints offered him base salary and match payments, about the same as a rookie I believe. The same as what Nathan Jones is on.

    Didn’t Jones reject that offer?

    Their recruiting wasn't bad, but I still feel like they're putting lots of faith into Max King.  If he doesn't come good or gets injured, all they really have down there is Tim 'I like it an easy goal Josh Jenkins style' Membrey.  I think recruiting Hill and Dougal Howard were good pieces of business, but they aren't really in the next two drafts and still have plenty of holes in their list.

      The Demon stalwart surpassed the number of his father's appearances for the club towards the end of the season. As he approaches his thirties, his pace is inevitably slowing, and he is likely to explore alternative opportunities beyond the team's midfield.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #8 Jake Lever

      The Demon premiership defender who has the reputation the master of intercept possessions as well as great leadership qualities managed only eight senior games this season as he battled injury and form, prompting speculation that he might be enticed to look elsewhere.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #10 Daniel Turner

      “Disco” took his time (four seasons) but the mid-season draftee has been a shining light of Melbourne's campaign, improving to become a versatile option at either end of the ground. He has great marking skills which allows him to play as a marking target up forward or an intercepting defender down back.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #11 Max Gawn

      The skipper delivered another outstanding season, leading the team from the front, participating in every game, and earning club champion honours, while also securing an equal record eighth All-Australian blazer as a ruckman.  Max Gawn is arguably the greatest exponent of ruck skills in the history of the game; an exceptional leader who has guided the club to a premiership, through the challenging times that followed, and now into the next phase of its storied history.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #12 Koltyn Tholstrup 

      It was a frustrating season for the former number 13 draft selection, who failed to build momentum in his second campaign; Tholstrup played only nine games, having been omitted twice and substituted out three times. However, he demonstrated promising signs in the midfield at Casey towards the end of the season, and big things are anticipated from him in the coming years.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

      Clayton Oliver, a four-time best and fairest winner at the club, has navigated a challenging period over the past two years, marked by injuries and personal issues, but has demonstrated promising signs suggesting a return to his optimal form in 2025. He is presently contracted to the club for an additional five years, with a substantial annual salary of approximately $1.7 million in the final seasons of his agreement. All at Melbourne are eagerly anticipating his resurgence to his previous peak performance levels.
