So am I correct in saying that Bedford, Jordan, Chandler (® A), Lockhart (® A) and Bradtke (® B) are uncontracted at present.

What is the list lodgement cut off day for them to be contracted? Today or next Friday?

Yes, they are the OOC players altho I haven't seen an mfc confirmation of M. Browns re-contracting as a rookie.

I don't know the cut off date for them to be contracted.  I would guess next Friday Nov 27 leaving a few days to nominate for the Draft which close on Nov 30.  Could be wrong.

    also worth noting Bradtke wasn't listed in an official afl.com.au website about every clubs OOC around grand final week, its been linked in here before so might not expect any formal announcement about it

    Does that mean we will have a list 0f 43 because we only have 1 b grade rookie?

    This article on who gets an AFL lifeline states that “Melbourne has re-signed a number of players it is yet to make public including Mitch Brown, Jay Lockhart, Kade Chandler and James Jordon,” and suggests that Toby Bedford is our only player currently in limbo. 

     

    so other than Bedford Is Bradke uncontracted?

    There aren't two players in the entire football playing population of Australia who are better prospects than Chandler & Jordon?

    I find that absolutely extraordinary, particularly given that neither plays a role that can't be easily replaced.

    It could be the reduced sal cap and the way the AFL is implementing it. 

    Even renewing those players we have vacant spots on our playing list to add a DFA and a rookie or two (in addition to the 3 draftees we are reportedly to take).

    Perhaps the club thinks that unless we can afford a player that will be best 30 then we are no worse off keeping the players we have whose strengths and weaknesses are known.

    Where we stand: 

    35 players on the senior list (max 38) 
    3 on the Rookie A list (maximum 6) 
    1 on the Rookie B list (max 2) 

    We can have up to 44 players, we have 39, so 5 spots open - 3 senior list (3 draft picks?), and then 2 rookies. But we can just take one player in the draft and then we have hit our minimum number. 

     

    The minimum list size for each club will be 37, which can be made up by as little as 36 senior listed players and one rookie.  To reach 44, clubs can carry 36-38 senior listed players, four-to-six Category A rookies and two Category B rookies.

    With 18, 19, 28, 50 but only 3 spaces, we may well look to upgrade our picks or swap into next year in the lead up to the draft. That being said, not using pick 50 isn't a big deal.

    Updates:

    • No more players OOC.
    • Re-contracting of Jackson, Bedford, Jordon, Chandler, Brown
    • Well deserved promotion of Lockhart to the senior list
    • Final List sizes confirmed
    • 'Used' draft pick 89 for Lockhart promotion

    image.png.72a1bd94489cedcf84389934c47aa53e.png

    Heading into the draft we have 35 senior players and 4 rookies (total 39) giving 3 senior and 2 rookie list spots.  3 Draftees will take us to the max allowed 38 senior players.  The 2 rookie spots can be used for a PSSP or (multiple) mid-season drafts.  And extra senior list spot can be created if we put KK onto a L-T injury list.

    At this stage it looks like we won't be adding a DFA to the senior list.  A DFA will need to come as a rookie via the PSSP.

    I feel confident there will be a draft pick change that involves pick 50 otherwise it is wasted as we don't have a list spot for it.  Reckon it will be #28 + 50 for a pick in the low 20's giving us the 3 picks at the draft.

    I will update the games played when I do the final list post drafts.

    I think the club will be watching the State league comps closely and get a player in Mid season draft when we remove KK off the list.  Not a bad idea I'm sure there will be a number of players that will not be drafted due to the fact that no one saw them in 2020.

    Thanks Lucifer's Hero for the update, Very happy with the management of the list by the Dee's, put's the trust and ownership back onto our existing list and still have the ability to pick up 5 additional players to potentially strengthen the group. We have learnt from our previous experiences that the grass is not always greener....etc, etc

    Well done MFC.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
