I thought we had no rookie picks? They have to be delisted free agents? Mentha is the only rookie pick we can have with Farris-White departing.

Have a look at the contracts spread sheet on this website.  AMW is a category B so if he is upgraded there are 2 category B spots. ( the other for KFW delisting).   Hore is a category A rookie and they haven't yet given him a contract.  If they don't he is delisted and creates a category A vacancy.

I thought we already had 6 rookies but we only have 5 my mistake.

Yze may still get picked up. I wonder if Hore could be picked up as a DFA

B: Lever, May, McVee

HB: Rivers, McDonald, Salem

C: Windsor, Petracca, Langdon

HF: Pickett, Petty, Chandler

F: Fritsch, van Rooyen, Turner

FOLL: Gawn, Oliver, Viney

IC: Howes, Sparrow, Sharp, Melksham (rookie a), Pick 5

 

Casey

B: Mentha (rookie b), Adams, Moniz-Wakefield (rookie b)

HB: Bowey, DFA, Woewodin

C: Billings, Laurie, Brown (rookie a)

HF: Spargo, Kentfield (rookie a), Sestan (rookie a)

F: McAdam, Jefferson, Fullerton

FOLL: Campbell, Tholstrup, Pick 9

IC: Verrall (rookie a), Yze (rookie a), Parfitt (DFA)

 

I think they will have 3 or 4 players train on for the last spot on the list.

From MFC mid September

MELBOURNE has locked in a quintet of young talent, with Andy Moniz-Wakefield, Kynan Brown, Will Verrall, Oliver Sestan and Luker Kentfield all signing new deals with the club.

The five players put pen to paper this week, extending their time in the red and blue until at least the end of 2025.

Yeah but far as I know they all signed as rookies. Dannyz saying Sestan is on the main list.

They've got a source at the club Rumplestiltskin, regularly posts tea that is later officially confirmed.

Id like to see Noah Rookie’d, he is a good size and has shown that he is a talented youngster, being an Yze I see it as repaying Adem in some small way for his great services to the Dees. We have more spots this year and can accommodate him and who knows he could be a ripper and it may help sway others in the years to come. I.e Dees respect the tradition of F/S’s.

That would absolutely be the very last reason that we'd pick him up

Would be an insult to Adem and Noah, IMO

Agree, Moonshadow.   Repaying for dad’s great service is absolutely NO reason to recruit anyone.  F/S must be on merit.  I seem to remember a ?Molloy in the 80s or early 90s who was a f/s and failed to deliver at all.

Is that re-signed not resigned?

It seems we might not have the space to bring in Noah….a pity as he seems to have some assets.


Disappointed that Noah didn't make the cut. I wonder if the club will consider throwing him a Casey lifeline.

That would have to work both ways as there could be other VFL clubs handier to his home. However, if he's really dedicated to playing for his father's club, he should go for it. It won't be the first time that someone has proved the judges wrong.

Some very good players have made it via the VFL pathway. Fritta springs to mind. Good luck to young Noah Yze if that's something he pursues.


IF McAdam chose, before list finalisation, to retire would there be a pathway to pick up Noah, IF our recruiters felt he was up to scratch ??

No, because Noah is not that good to be on an AFL list.

Exactly... not all will emulate their dads.

Not a family social club

Fritta was a special case in that he had a back injury and took a few years off football. Not sure he even put himself into the draft at 18. He also starred in his year as a Casey player from game 1.

It's a hard ask to break into the AFL if you miss out on the 18 year old draft. Not impossible but very rare

SON OF A GUN FIRES IN PREMIER B

In his first game for Old Melburnians in Premier B, Noah Yze (the son of Richmond coach and ex-Melbourne forward Adem) starred with five goals in a best on ground display. Yze was released for the weekend from VFL side Casey due to the representative game against the SANFL. He proved to be a class above in the huge win as Jeremy a’Beckett also booted five. Old Melburnians prevailed by 94 points. Yze finished with 20 disposals, 16 contested possessions and five clearances. Other impressive performances came from Will Nichols (27 touches), Sam Laube (21 touches and three goals) and Jack Spargo (23 disposals). At VFL level this season, Yze has kicked four goals in three games.

IMO he has played well at Casey this year, attacks the ball well, good size, decent hands and goal sense. Could be worth a rookie spot.

Absolutely is, has potential to go into the middle as well, played a fair bit of last year as a tagger for the chargers.

  • PREVIEW: Richmond

    A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

  • NON-MFC: Round 07

    Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

  • PREGAME: Richmond

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
