    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: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
