    This list is for the lead-up to the drafts.  All of these guys are looking to get a shot in the draft.  Bennell is going through a different process.  Hopefully Murray will as well.

    We've decided not to pursue Murray.

    From Jon Ralph'

    " Melbourne will host ex-Fremantle half-forward Harley Bennell from December 3 as he trials for a rookie spot but have ruled out securing ex-Pies defender Sam Murray. "

    Jack & Dworship have pretty much covered this but to extend a little.. 

    The SSP begins from 1 Dec (ie; after all drafts are completed) and finishes on 15 March.  Our first training session from then is Tues 3rd Dec which is the reason that date is being mentioned.  I assume Bennell can do any official program/customised training with us from the 1st as deemed appropriate.

    My take is Bennell is then officially part of the club (albeit only under the SSP deal) and receives a base minimum salary up to the 15th (or more serious $$ if signed under a standard AFL contract before then).

    Has there ever been a definitive explanation as to why "permission to train" is even necessary? One possible reason is insurance for injury and another might be to stop draft tampering (although I don't know how).

    Interesting, no sign of Sam Murray at all. 

    It seems we have ruled him out but I dont think his suspension ended until the 17th of Dec.

    But why does the AFL need to give permission for that to happen?

    I think its a quasi registration process to cover insurance and payment.

    So do Bennell and Brown now train with us from next week. 
     

    Assume we have 2-3 months to top up with 2x rookies or an upgrade. 

    Monday 2nd as I understand it sns. I believe Brown is in good knick but I think Bennell is starting from scratch. Current wisdom seems to be that if he stays he would not play at any level till well after the start of the season.

    Struggle to see him making it, a Hail Mary shoot I think.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
