No 45 is No 27 Aaron Neitschke 0 games and 0 goals. Done his knee at the start of the year, this is the 3rd time he's done it. Highly unlikely that he will be on the list next year.

    No 43 is No 46 Austin Bradtke 0 Games and 0 Goals. Unfortunately couldn't cut as a ruckman in the VFL so was moved to CHB where he had limited success against Hogan and Buzza at VFL level. It will be touch and go whether or not he will get a contract for next season.

    No 42 is No 42 Daniel Turner 0 games and 0 goals. He was a mid season rookie looked good at full back until covid hit ruining the last half of the VFL season.

    No 39 is No 19 Fraser Rosman. 0 games and 0 goals. Very raw prospect who spent most of his time at VFL level on the wing.

    No 34 is No 38 Mitch Brown 1 game 2 goals. Injured his ankle at VFL level a handy back up for Fritsch at AFL level. Hard to see him getting another contract due to his age.

    No 30 is No 39 Neville Jetta 5 games 0 goals. Heart and soul of the club. Couldn't break into a strong backline and spent most of the time in the VFL in a position he's made his own the back pocket.

    No 29 is No 26 Sam Weideman 5 games 3 goals. Really disappointing season from the Weid. Broke his leg in the pre season and never really recovered Ben Brown has taken his place. Must be on the trade table.

    No 28 is No 20 Adam Tomlinson 7 games 0 goals. Switched to CHB after under performing on the wing and it paid dividends as he was a rock down back but unfortunately done his knee which ruined his season.

    No 27 is No 2 Nathan Jones 8 games 2 goals. Heat and soul of the club. Got carried to 300 games but it was well deserved. Unfortunately he won't be getting a fairy tale premiership medal but he will always be in our hearts as a fan favorite.

    I'll do the rest after the Grand Final. The 22 will be the 22 out on grand final day and 23 will be the medi sub 24 to 26 will be the emergencies which will more likely be Hunt, J.Smith and Melksham.

    Rather than carried I would have preferred escorted, supported, or path cleared to 300 games

    So out of this list, Jones retires; Weid possibly traded and question marks over Neita, Bradtke, M Brown, Baker, AVB and Chandler.

    That would be 8 changes in all. I don't think we've got the trade/draft currency for that many changes. Maybe 4-5 in all I'd reckon. Jones now retired, Jetta may retire as well.  So I'd think that there may be three from the list above to leave the club. Maybe Neita, Bradtke and one of AVB or M Brown (assuming Weid stays). I think Baker and Chandler will have belting pre-seasons coming up,  having experienced this finals series and wanting to be a part of the next one, I can't see we'd trade either.

    • 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.
