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.

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.
