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.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 05

      Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.
