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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
