    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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Adelaide

      Last week’s bitter disappointment turned into player-led resolve as Captain Kate Hore marched her team onto a pristine Princes Park under perfect skies.
      The #DeeArmy banner said Bring The Heat and the Demons delivered a fierce, high-quality contest and ultimately outworked and outpaced the gallant Adelaide Crows to win by 11 points.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Adelaide

      Noffy, Hatchy and Randy lead Adelaide’s finals-hardened flock to IKON Park for a blockbuster semi-final against Kate Hore and Hanksy’s mighty Demons.  Adelaide has dropped four of its past five matches at this ground — let’s hope that trend holds.  But don’t expect charity — Doc Clarke brings an experienced, battle-worthy murder of Crows.

    • 2026 AFL Fixture

      The Demons 2026 AFL Fixture is as good as can be expected considering their performances and finishes the past two seasons. Sunday games and late afternoon starts are on the menu with only 1 Friday night fixture until Round 15. They will travel 8 times including their home game in the Alice, their Gather Round game as well as a match against the Hawks in Tasmania. They will face, the Bombers, Bulldogs, the Suns, the Tigers, the Hawks and the Dockers twice.
