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.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
