    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: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
