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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
