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.ย  AMW is a category B so if he is upgraded there are 2 category B spots. ( the other for KFW delisting).ย  ย Hore is a category A rookie and they haven't yet given him a contract.ย  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

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

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 Rookieโ€™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/Sโ€™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. ย  Repaying for dadโ€™s great service is absolutely NO reason to recruit anyone. ย F/S must be on merit. ย I seem to remember a ?Molloy in the 80s or early 90s who was a f/s and failed to deliver at all.ย

Is that re-signed not resigned?

It seems we might not have the space to bring in Noahโ€ฆ.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.

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 aโ€™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.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

    The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasnโ€™t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals. ย

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturdayโ€™s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFLโ€™s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

  • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

    Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Womenโ€™s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the womenโ€™s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

  • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterdayโ€™s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

  • CASEY: Brisbane

    The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown andย  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

  • PREGAME: Hawthorn

    The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
